is it true you can trap the quarter mile in third gear? sweet lord, i'd like to ditch those wheels and get some thirteens on that thing!!! smaller tires = more torque multiplication, right? maybe spend less time down on the bottom of the power band.

Im gettin some L series 15's to help out with that problem, i just need some money and an idea on tires...

 

[goofyguy]

well you will need the ideas real damn soon. Like in 28 days?

 

[haunter]

yeah but you going to have lots of traction problems with those little wheels and tires unless you go with some drag radials/slicks

 

[macncheese]

come on, i've got stock 15 inch wheels and a 4 puck clutch. on khumo ecstas at 20 psi tire pressure, i cut a 2.1 sixty foot on a 13.9 second car. just be careful with first gear, fellas.

Just to let you guys know, the smallest wheel we can put on our cars is a 16" because of how big the front rotors/calipers are.

 

[Redlinekid_04]

Well i was gonna put some bad ass DR's on the 15's, so it would prbobly help out a bit. And yes.... time is getting short for mods.... Basic training here i come!!

 

[Redlinekid_04]

oh shizzle.... Forgot about the brakes.... Ill have to take the L series 16 inch steelies... Damn...

Also, a thicker/taller sidewall often will help the launches. Gives the tire a chance to flex with the power instead of just busting loose. Plus it looks really cool in slowmotion on a dragster!

you talking about the autocross race rubber?

 

[macncheese]

wow, is that what they were made for? truly funny. i got them instead of the other tires because they had an AA traction rating!! autocross tires impressing me on the drag strip. tooooo funny.

LOL thats still cool tho what would happen if ya had slicks. prob bttr than 13.9

 

[macncheese]

yeah, a lot of guys report almost a second drop in the quarter, but i think that's a little much for me. they also had much worse short times to start with, 2.4 and 2.5. a general rule of thumb for fwd is .1s in the short time = .2s in the et, so if i could get the 1.7 that everybody else is getting on slicks, we're talking 13.1 or so.

again, i'd have to swap in the old computer for that. no idea where my new computer is.

yeah they are autocross/roadracing tires, if they have liek 3 treads on them. There are 2-3 kind of ecsta, the MX, ASX and 700, ecsta victoracer 710.

I have a set on the way to my house(of the 700's) for this years autocross season
