I have too much wheel spin in first and sometimes second

the car is modded with shcrick cam, ported head, 65mm pulley, R1 charger, twin induction etc. etc.

looking for any recommcendations to stop the wheel spin or minimise it.

- buy decent tyres
- make sure wheel alignment is good, this might require camber adjustable top mounts to get right.
- more progressive throttle control
- fit a subframe
- fit a limited slip diff

All of the above are correct although Haysesy is probably more on the money (as always)  :D

As a cheap improvement, I found changing from 185/50/14's on the front to 195/45/14's made a good noticeable difference. I always use Yoko A539's, so if you can go for a wider tyre than what you currently have, that will be a good help.

The car has 195/45/15 with Pirelli Drago's, P5000's

Also has FK coilovers.

Maybe the toyo's have better grip.

but I think an LSD will be next, who does these? Are PSD still in business?

PSD shut down ages ago!

You need to speak to Yoof about a PPP subframe and LSD

Quaife are doing LSDs for the G40 as well. PPP have a group buy on at the moment though.
