hi all i just put in a 9bolt posi in. Everything seemed fine and normal driving around. but i stabbed the gas a little bit coming out of the gas station, and all of a sudden i was damn near backwards. i heard posi's can be a liitle hard to get used to. but is this normal? or is something wrong withthe rear end.

 

What exactly do you mean by backwards?

 

i was making a right turn and I stabbed the gas and the the *** end wanted to come around. If i didnt let out of it i woulda been backwards

 

you probably mashed on the gas to spin out of control..

yes this happens more often than not with a positrac rear end...

I.E (fish tailin) what most ppl call it....

 

Yup, sounds like you fish tailed it. Nothing to worry about..

 

that will make for some fun donuts/burnouts

 

 

yea i got an 87 iroc with posi n when ever i go around a corner to quick n hit the gas the rear end def likes to fishtail. Just keep in mind if u are ever fishtailing and u need it to stop quick take ur foot off the gas. Lol when ever i do that the car straightens right up, actually feels like i just got hit in the side too.

 

fishtailin is indeed fun in a closed track of course

 

I don't think these cars are hard to fish tail, I was makin a left turn from a stop sign and i don't have posi and it fish tailed, and i barely stepped on the gas, the road was wet though.

 

well ya but a posi helps when its wet i cant keep my none posi straight when it turn

 

thanks guys. it def takes some getting used to. i think i might need some better tires tho. if i try to stand on the gas from a start, both tires will just light up and start kicking out to the side.

 

I dont have posi and the same thing happedns from a dead stop. I like it
