couple of pics 15"s on

[kleistang]

some quick pictures before going to the track, not the best quality or sizes but u get the idea i'll post the slips later.

 

[Haze28]

Damn thats nice. Are they Weld draglites? What size and backspacing?

 

[kleistang]

yes they are, 15x10 with 7.5 b/s



well i went to the track and i got to say that driving on these has nothing to do with the d/r on 17"s haha car feels bouncy hooks great 60 foot were alwas 1.6 my mph stayed and 89.something all me passes tonight were 7.6s which is a a bit slower then before but the car feels great and leaves a lot stronger they night was shity aslo tempertaure was really high and it was really humid since it rain a lot during the day.

i'll try again next week and hopefully dial some better times

klei, looks awesome man!!! Are those the E/T Drags or E/T streets??

they look like et drags....


they look sick dude...now get some skinnies up front...

 

[mikeysgt]

They look good! Can't wait to get tires on my big and littles and hit the track in may!

 

[kleistang]

thanks haha, those are et drag slicks, they are soft wall tought and they are funny to drive around haha, i drove them to the track since ups has not bring my tires for the 18"s

yeap skinnies are next but i need to get the antiroll bar the car was acting funny last night because of that, i was running without the sway bar.

oh those are sportlines springs in my car. so u have an idea that they do fit and still has a bit of space for taller or wider tire too

Looks awesome man, when are you gonna put the fronts on? Car sits perfect.

 

[07ToRcH]

Your car looks mean bro.

Off topic got any more pics of your car, looks exactly what I was going for but mines refire!

 

[Croft]

SWEET!! looks mean as hell!!

and off topic, i apologize, but where did you get your headlights? i've heard of them, but yours is the first i've seen them on our cars. looks way cool!!

 

[stkjock]

nice dude, any rubbing on the fender, from the pics it looks like they would...

guessing you had to use the sway re-location? and a spacer?

 

[kleistang]

the front wheels i'd probably order them next month, i still have to get a couple of more parts before that.



i do have more pics, but not on this computer since i just installed windows, i'll post more later.

the headlights, yeah i know what u mean i saw the ones they sell on ebay and tought they were they same ones but they are not. i got this cheap of an ebay auction and i really like them when i got them, after i got them i found out they are twice as much money as the ones on ebay, but at night it looks really nice i put hids on the low beam and left the halogen bulbs for the high beam, i'll let u know the brand as soon as i find the box.

not its not robing anywhere fit flush and there is enoug space. u do need to relocate the sway bar and bend the ends i dont thing relocation only would clear the wheel, but im going to use an antiroll bar like don_w did so the sway bar is not going back in. not spacers were used, i bought cragars long shank lugnuts, they fit great it. but those slicks arent safe to run on the street at all haha.

 

[Kipp07GT]

Cant wait to see it with the welds all the way around. Mind me asking how much you have in just that setup? Plus how much grinding was involved. I know Chris made it work on his with a good bit of work, but that shit just looks good on both of you guys cars.

 

[kleistang]

total was 505 for the wheels less 15% discount coupon i had - 12% of live.com cashback total was 368 shiped to my door in 2 days from ebay/summitracing.com i added 3 packs of cragar lugnuts which bring 4 each and that was an xtra 30. i bought the slicks from a local guy for 250. they used in a camero but it was too tall so he took them out and i bought them. it was a good deal all around. haha i even got a new grinder for $20 with the disc and all.

i did as much griding as chriss did, and i also cut the lower piece of the caliper which i need it to be grinded a bit but i decided i would just cut the thing. calipers look great to me im paiting then next week.

 

[Chris06GT]

I take it you don't drive far to the track since you are running the ET Drags on the street?? That would be scary...

 

[Kipp07GT]

Cool deal man, im gonna have to bring chris's thread back up and look at what he did. Those draglites really look good on these cars.

 

[kleistang]

27 miles one way it is scary as hell. the night before i decided to go around a street ppl usually race, it was about 2am and got to race a gt500 from a roll not sure the mods. we rolled from a 2nd gear we both left hard and even and i pulled 1 car on him i had to let off because there was a truck in my lane. then he raced a bad ass civic that was behind us and the civic beat him for 2 cars. the i raced the civic from 3rd he jumped me and got 2 cars on me, then we raced from 2nd and i got a car on him and after we were going really fast he was going to start pulling away from me but it was to fast to keep on it already. i really dont like street racing but that was a couple of good ones. it was scary as hell. i 100% sure i'd done better on the 17s with the d/r i had.

 

[mikeysgt]

^ so you're saying the gt500 lost to a civic????

 

[kleistang]

this was a fast civic i have to say.
