NICE !

Was that on the 325 DR's?

What did it run?

That car is awsome!

Way to go kid....:)

That looked like a perfect run, How much HP does this car have? Daily driver! How do you keep your license, I only take my car out a cupple times a month and I seem to have a near catastrophy each time,passed three cops going the other way on a two lane road at 110 about 6 weeks ago and I haven't had a ticket in ten years, LOL.

With my MT DRs still on. :)
Pulled into a store and had to pull a time slip out to show some guy who I over heard tell a friend did you ask to see a time slip of that DD car. When he saw the slips he shut up fast. He didn't know I was with Greg and Jarrod.

BMR LCAs, BMR Extreme Sway Bar, Greg made the torque arm after I took out BMRs, MT DRs 325/50/15


Heres a link that has some good launches in it. Only the last 2 or 3 videos are with the sway bar. I love my MT DRs. :)

http://media.putfile.com/HeroInternetWhat's your race weight? Please give more info on your suspension cause I can't hook at all on 275/40/17 Nitto DR's.So far I have UMI lca's and Panhard,UMI SFC's on the way.I just took the front swaybar out so we'll see Friday how that does.I just put the Fuddle 3800 in and instantly no traction.I have 17x9.5's all the way around.What air pressure do you run?

the car weighs 3540lbs without anyone in it. Depends on if its me or Greg on how much to add. 22psi..... MT DRs dont like a big burnout. We had the Nittos with just the head and cam and yeah they spun all the time. We went to MT DRs on the stock rims and wow a big difference.
Thats all the suspension work I have got done. That I already posted on.

http://media.putfile.com/HeroInternetThe extreme swaybar??Did you notice a difference when you put the torque arm in?I'm going to try out some ET Streets this weekend.

Yes the torque arm made a difference. Greg was able to adjust the angle of the pinion. It helped the car hook up better.
Yeap, the Extreme Sway bar... I do recomend it. That was a good investment. Before she twisted at take off, now she comes straight up. I don't have a roll cage yet. The Extreme sway bar is very impressive.
A few friends run the ET streets you should like them better.

I will have to disagree about the M/T DRs not liking a big burnout.. A local guy is friends with the originator of the M/T DR design and he was told that they need to be heated just like a slick and that in most cases a good burnout is needed.. I know first hand that on 3-4 of my friends cars you have to get them good and hot for them to work to their full potential. Yes your car could be different, but thats just my first hand experience with the tires. Of course, 2-3 of my friends are running 5/6spds so that could be the difference.

You are wasting your time trying to hook on the Nittos.. The Nitto DRs are a good tire for an all around daily driven street car, but when it comes to actually trying to race at the track you are not gonna get good peformance from the Nittos. And lose the 17's.. Thats pointless as well.

WOW!!!!!!!

nice vid. 1 fast chic

If I do hotlaps after the 2nd lap she spun. If I do a burnout like it was a slick I have to buy them every 2 weeks. LOL Right now they last about 3 months. Being at the track every week. plus HWY run. Not bad.

Very nice!

Getting the Prostars is a good idea.. Getting the ET Streets is not a good idea. Get the ET Street Radials and you will love them.

Getting the Prostars is a good idea.. Getting the ET Streets is not a good idea. Get the ET Street Radials and you will love them.I've been realizing Nobody makes a 16" drag wheel.If they do,it's freaking 15" wide!Why would I not buy the Street instead of the radial?I'm Not worried about longevity.

Was the car originally a Formula or a TA?

CCW makes a drag wheel in 16". Im sure there are others. I use 15" Welds. Why do you want to use 16" wheels?

hmmm makes me want more power.
