Nice nice nice...

 

How do the new gears feel now that you've had em for a few days?

 

Thanks King and kbuserk they feel awesome. you can feel a pretty noticeable difference bottom end. definitely lost some mpg though. lol.

 

damn i love the tone of those pictures really clean, and the car is tastefully modded, nice job!

 

^ Thanks man. test fitted the MT Et streets today. they are on ebay steelies lol. paid 70 bucks a piece for them. paid 380 for the slicks.

26x10.5 -15 on 15x8 w/ 4.75" backspacing (+7 offset)

 

Just got back from the track. love these slicks. what a huge difference.. they get scary around 80mph.. i cant imagine how trapping around 100 in the 1/4 is going to feel..

 

smoked that fool! lol

 

I love the way your car sounds and it looks so mean with those slicks.

 

lol yeah that was my buddy with an auto accord v6. he was just running for the hell of it

thanks man

 

newb to drag racing here, how did u peel out like that without moving? drop clutch and immediately slam on breaks while slamming on the gas? I probably will go to the track later this year for the first time since owning my car and don't want to look stupid. Also, I heard you're not suppose to peel out on street tires. Truth? Thanks.

 

First off let me just say... Great launch!!! And your Z sounds greeaattt!!!

 

haha im still learning as well man no worries. but from what info i've gathered, there is no need to do what i did on street tires. but a really quick burnout is okay just to knock off debris. and if i remember correctly, only the base models can do the "brake stands" without having to pull a fuse. if you don't have a base model, there is a fuse you have to pull down in the footwell area. you can search for that im sure theres a lot of info on it.

 

Dang man you just went full out Drag racing huh lol.

That pik with the slicks looks pretty bad as$.

Cant wait to get my headers/spacer installed and tuned.

 

thanks MM! need to be in the 1.7 60' like you though

haha

 

haha well drifting and road racing are too expensive for me right now. cant get enough of beating people in straight lines and the $15 test n tunes.

i was out there outrunning new 5.0 mustangs, c5 vettes, prob sh1tty drivers but still made me feel good. lol.

whenever you get everything together we'll have to take a trip down to the track. you can borrow my slicks for a couple runs

 

Got yeah. I think you're right about that fuse thing because the time I tried doing that my car died and I said I probably shouldn't do that again because it obviously isn't good for my car and I didn't know if I was doing it right or not. Probably would have worked had I pulled a fuse or something like you said. I have street tires but I probably just won't worry about it.

 

Chit I Dont drag no mo. My last Z went through 3 trans, Stock, rebuilt and CD009. Drag to me is to expensive. You break EVERYTHING if your really trying lol.

At the track did you see a red ford escort with polished wheels black guy car was loud as fawk?

 

nope i didnt. today my car felt real stable on the slicks. no weird noises or anything. and i guess you can say i was trying lol.

drifting is usually around 50-70 bucks just on practice events, and god knows how many sets of tires you go through. then road racing they charge like 50+ per event and you go through pads and **** like every 5 laps.. (exaggeration)

 

See your point. I went to the track almost every weekend. Piedmont some Rockingham and Charlotte. HATE Piedmont. But again I drove my car like it was stolen

 

yeah i hear ya. last time i went to rockingham it was slippery as ****. will def be better with these slicks though. piedmont has actually been pretty nice to me. dont usually spin to much there
