Default Some civic questions

I've just got a few questions hoping you guys could help me with.

1.) I was wondering if there is anyway to get rid of the wheel hop on a civic. I've got a friend who had a prelude and he bought what I think is called a polyurathane insert or something like that (don't flame me now) that was insterted between the motor mounts and it took his wheel hop away totally. I was just wondering if there's anything like that for a civic or some good enigne mounts to go with to help.

2.) I need the pro's and con's of using Uberdata to tune with. I've got OBD-1 conversion with a chip and am waiting to see if Titan Motorsports will tune it but I need some info. on Uberdata please.

3.) Looking to start bulding the internals on a d16y7 block. I need the names of some good cams (cam for my car, haha), pistons, rods, and the whole 9 yards.

Thankd for the help guys. Sorry if it sounds like a noob question. I'm not a noob but just need some opinioins I guess. Thanks again.



*Please don't tell me to get a swap. I don't want to and won't. Just tired of hearing it.

1. motor mounts dont take wheel hop away. traction bars do.

2. try contacting Uberdata.

3. good luck. there's not much out there. JE/SRP Pistons and Rods.... not much in terms of Cams.

Actually after installing my motor mounts my wheel hop is almost gone. Much better than before.

My wheel hop is also significanly decreased after installing the motor mounts inserts. I got mine from inlinefour.com for like $40?? I forget how much I paid exactly.

Be warned, they increase vibrations inside the car slightly (mostly at idle).
However, the vibrations are subtle enough that I would do this mod again in a heartbeat.
