My DB Z with: JIC's, VOLK LE37's, BATS OVERLAYS, SLOTTED ROTORS, SLICKS...
Here are a few pics of my car, I just recently put the wheels on, some shots have the regular chrome lugnuts, newer shots have the black Rays lugnuts. Car is lowered between 1.5-1.75", tires are BFG KDW2's 255/285 19. Wheels are Limited Edition LE37's 19X9.5" front 19X10.5" rear with +22 offset at all corners. I had to roll my fenders to get the 285's to not rub.
Lovin the look, your doing a great job with the car!
Thanks, I have a Nismo front end already to piant, Im waiting to order a Varis air duct first, and of course sometime this week I should receive the tracking number for my Turbonetics kit Im gonna give my car some ***** before next spring....
i ment to ask you how does is the wear and tear with launching with slicks , i dunn maybey becasue i have a open diff and no lsd but if i launch it hard i do hear a hard clunk ,like a strong sense of wtf traction . lol. Mabey i just need a lsd.
Oh yeah right around 400rwhp and slicks will def be 11's. Ill shoot for low 12's on street tires.

Wear and tear depends on how hard you launch, and your tracks prep. Some guy shave no issues with clutches and axles (me, knock on wood), other snap axles there first time out. I have pretty much dropped the clutch at 6000rpm's thing is my car bogs slightly, so Ive pulled very weak 1.8 60 ft's. If there is a clunk, I dont hear it, my car is too loud. Maybe you have the axle clicking problem, and your really hearing it off the launch?
yea man, when i launch hard i here a thump then she hooks , just wondering if its becasue of the lack of the lsd
Do you preload your clutch a little before you launch? If not that thud you hear could be you shocking your clutch/tranny/drivetrain. What I mean by preload is hold the clutch in, but just barely enough to where your not moving forward, so when you dump the clutch your not "shocking" the drivetrain as much. If you were to have the clutch to the floor and dump it, that would surely get you a nasty thump noise.

i believe this is the reason , thats exactly whta happened come to think of it , you know things dont always go as you plan especialy in a street race. But i didnt preload my clutch, so yea i def gotta master fethering it more. I have been getting great launches though lol.
