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

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

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

Now that you mention your time, I call

too

Very nice!

You haven't put in K&N drop-ins?

Nope only visual mods (spoiler+tint). Want to get G3's eventually though.

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).

Good luck

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?
