Default What's wrong with my car ???

Well this is going to be hard to explain but I will try lol,
It's a bugeye sti jdm 2002 when I'm travelling at over 60 in top gears I can feel a vibration through the car that I believe is coming from the rear but it only does it if you are only just touching the throttle and clears if you put your foot down its really bugging me and can't imagine what it is,it's not like a wheel balancing noise/feeling
Has anyone else experienced this ?

Strange one that, think my first port of call would be to do a gearbox and rear diff oil change using decent stuff. Redline shock proof is what I use.

I'd check the wheelbearings first......not exactly typical of a wheel bearing problem but cheap and cheerful first step.

sounds strange but have you had the tyres checked??had similar on a 4motion golf at approx. 60mph to 65mph had a slight wobble,, similar to wheel balancing out,, eventually found that on inside of rear tyre the tread had lifted one piece approx. half inch that's all had 2 tyres put on and great put wheels front to back and try, hope you get it sorted cause I know its annoying
