everything cept shocks(till next month). I know Im doing (something) wrong, just cant spend the money to figure it out. Im sure me being a stick car dosnt help very much, but at the track its a different story


There is just too many factors to play with on the street, but it is sickening to leave 80+ft marks with ET streets, looks cool...but ultimately sucks. I might give a few more goes this summer, but mainly just going to keep it at the track, which I guess is the "smart" thing to do

pop can work as a cheap guys VHT, ushally mountain dew or monster works best. I ushually just spend the extra $$ on Trackbite, but if your in a jam and dont have any then pop will work.

i would recommend some double sided scotch tape on the rear tires as opposed to pouring pop all over the car. tell him that his car will hook up and launch harder than a sport bike if he puts tape on his tires
