With my 3S-GE still in the car I had some traction issues with my old rims+tyres (Avon ZZ3 215/45/17) When I got my new rims with the Toyo Proxes T1-R no problems at all. But BTW why launch at 5k rpm? I've done it (still old engine) at 3k rpm and launched very good in the dry.
Tyres are everything here. What tyres do you have under the Celi. In the wet I once pulled into from 1st to 4th gear with wheelspin but this was with the GTE installed and also a one time in a life thing. If you have money to spend. Racelogic Traction Control System. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

Looking at your car I'd imagine that your driving style is with a heavy right foot. Am i right?
My ST spins up in 1st and 2nd in the wet if i drive like a mentalist. The wheels can only provide a certain amount of grip, if its cornering fine I'd imagine there is nothing wrong with your suspension. When you launch try feeding the power in on the clutch at about 4k rpm. |

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...
