Still chasing wheel hop, engine mounts are not leaking, lower is not cracked so I have not touched them.

Replaced/new

KW v3 coilovers
inner and outer ball joints
powerflex control arm bushings

so that leads me back to the engine mounts, does the "torque solutions" lower mount really fix wheelhop?

I get none from drivers side, only from passenger side I feel it autocrossing on tight corners and I can induce it anytime I want from a stop, just turn right and hammer it will result in instant wheelhop


Side note, even brand OEM control arm bushings are horrible, simply horrible now I can stop in a straight line on the track!

 

Hm, I've always been told to fix that is to install stiffer bushings, which it looks like you did. I always found this as a really good description of wheel hop and what to do to fix it: http://www.mc2racing.com/tech/20061012a/. Maybe look into the PSRS system by Alta? I've heard good things in the MINI community. We sell the kit for $174.60 if you're interested after looking into it. It is in stock. Let me know.

Here is just a small excerpt about it:

 

I have the torque solutions Dog bone and never had wheel hop. Don't know if it the Dog bone. to be honest.

 

I've never had wheel hop and I'm using all oem style bushings and mounts. I've got the typical power mods, never experienced hopping just spinning.

 

I did not get any wheelhop on the track, but when I autocross I get it pretty bad, turn the wheel full to the right, punch it, wheelhop like mad

I wish the engine mounts were leaking/cracked, it would give me a reason to replace them, I might rig up a camera in the engine bay and video to see what is happening inside there

 

What condition are the transmission mounts in?

 

not sure it's not really visible without some disassembly, and it's on the "good" side of the car.

My JCW does not wheel hop, so it's gotta be something mechanical
