As far as tires go, I'm trying to get some that are relatively cheap for now since I'm kind of broke. Not too worried about getting drag radials since I won't be hitting the strip that much. I would much rather put that money towards getting some bolt ons. I really just went to see what could do and maybe get a baseline for my future mods.

If I were you I'd spend the money on a good set of tires instead of bolt on mods... they make a huge difference

For me bolt-ons are something I can enjoy on a daily basis since I DD my car. Tires will only be enjoyed on the track or dragstrip. I can have fun sliding around on my current tires, but the extra power/sound from the bolt-ons every time I hit the gas is more fun.

what are you gonna get first Blade? i say go for hfc/test pipes

b1adesofcha0s 03-24-2011 08:59 AM

The plan is for fast intentions hfc. I gotta work some things out with my school/work schedule for this fall first though. If it works out then I can get it this summer. If not it will be a bday present for me next February.

I guess somehow I missed this thread...

Anyways, those timeslips look photoshopped. I can tell from some of the pixels.

3 people in that one passenger seat is going to be difficult, but if you're ok with it, let's go for it :icon17:

Of course that 500-600 lbs of extra weight won't make any difference in my time at all. :rolleyes:

Now that you mention your time, I call :bs: too

Lol, I'm just kidding :roflpuke2:

I run 12.85's all day with full bolt ons and a stripped down car. 3420lb with me in it.
Sizbe car is bone stock and it runs 13.3's and we are both 7 AT's and he is a t least 50 lbs lighter than me.
I should let him drive mine. (it would be a good weight savings).
You have a very fast car for stock. Mine stock ran 13.2001.
12.7's here we come this weekend. (more bolt on's).

Well I don't know how much of a difference it makes, but it turns out my car actually had summer tires in the front and all seasons in the rear. Had the stock Yokohama Advan Sport tires in front and Yokohama Advan S4 All Season tires in the rear. I didn't even realize this till like 2 weeks ago when I was looking at my tire sizes to find prices. Just thought I would let you guys know. Would I have gotten a lot better time with summer tires in the rear or would it be a very small difference?
