real deal 1/4 mile @ fontana.

You know all my engine mods, but I will be trying some drag slicks I got from Art IF they fit over my brakes. I'll get them out and measure them up tomorrow. Probably need spacers.

My suspension is:
Silk Road coilovers
TRD motor mounts
BeatRush trans mount
UR rear underbrace
Tanabe front strut brace
UR 23mm rear sway bar (like that will matter, LOL)

You need to make them fit..!!! If not get others that fit... or get rid of the front BBK. Like you will need that on the track! Taking your car w/o a proper set torsion tires will be like not going at all. Is a most!!

Is important to dial the right pressure for the drag slicks. I'm sure Art can give you a few pointers as he has experience with the box.

Front: just high enough not to rub the tires. Stiffness Probably some where in the middle. Front suspension should allow for some travel but have good dampening to prevent bounce.

Rear: as high as the silkroads allow and full stiff. Over inflated rear tires...


Leave the rear under braces and sway bar at home!!


Go to the local strip to practice some launches!


Oh and please.... HD video!!!!

Hey guys don't forget to put down on the "list" what type of tranny at least, and if it was n/a or boosted.

Awesome! I can't wait to go back to the track again to see how I do since the new mods. Can't wait to get boosted though somehow.
