sparks

[scturbospyder]

when my car is under full throtle (when it would be losing traction) the car has a teribble grinding noise coming from the wheel. It is has sparks coming from the wheel, the car has a new tranny, clutch, flywheel ,slave ,and master cylinder. the car shifts smooth i just cant launch it and in third gear i can go from a bump under full throtle and it wont do it. The sparks are coming from the drivers side

Have you tried pulling the wheel off and looking for shiny metal spots that have been rubbed off? Might be a good start, and whatever you do don't drive it anymore until the problem is fixed.

By wheel do you mean the wheel and tire? If so sounds like a bad wheel bearing.

 

[scturbospyder]

it is sparks coming from behind the wheel and tire, it really dosent sound like the wheel bearing because it didnt roar like a wheel bearing

uhm, bad tire?

check your tires dude, you could have wires showing on the tire.If you do its time for some tires.

Also if you have bad camber, the inside of the tire will be worn really bad but the outside will look just fine. Take off your tire and look for wires on the tire. If thats not it, look around for any other abnormal things that may be rubbing.

no the tires are new, it only does the grinding noise under full throttle besides i have regular street tires on now and i use to run nitto drag radials for a couple of months and it has been doing it the whole time. It is a spark behind the brakes and everyting, but it only happens when the car would be loosing traction. FWD

Ya dude I would take the wheels off and check everything around that. Looks for things touching thats not supposed to be and check the inside of the rims.

Still sounds like a wheel bearing. If not start checking behind the wheel and looking for something wrong. Other than that do you have stainless brake lines? If so check them, other than that my bet is on a frozen wheel bearing.

if it's behind the brakes check the brakes...(pads, some loose stuff in between, etc...)
make sure that the metal heat shield is not rubbing off the brake disc
