Dam your notch looks so badass wit those big meats and those black wheels great ETs i gotta get out within the next couple weeks make some passes now that the air is good and before the season ends
Good to see you figured out the problem. I'm also interested in the difference you noticed from the 10" to 8". It's interesting how the slightest thing will change the change the car. On stock suspension I've run a 1.56 60'. Then I put in rear drag springs, lower and upper control arms and could only muster a 1.82 60'. This is all on crappy (and I mean crappy) 26 x 8 slicks. Frustrating to hear about the track. I'm hopin that I can make some good passes this weekend as it' the last event this year, it's already getting chilly here
thanks man, the tires are actually the same size but switching to a 10" rim the tire grew over 2" i measured the tire from the ground with a straight-edge and it was over 13" from what i remember. Cant wait to get out in the cool fall air and try for some good numbers before the season is out
hmm thats odd my hoosier R6's are 275's and they measure a bit over 14" on my 9" rims, im gonna guess that road race tires are different?
the aspect ratio makes a big difference. people will argue this to the death, but ive seen it in person. a 275 is not a 275. A 275/50 is wider than a 275/60, both being on a 15"x8" rim
how'd you fit a 14" tire in the rear? for that matter howd you fit them in the front. Im really pushin it right now with my setup
im running M179 cobra r's all around, and technically they dont fit, removed the quads etc, rolling the fenders this weekend so i can drop the car another 3" all the way around, the front however was a bit more difficult i didnt take alot of pics as i was on a time restrained but it involved cutting the fenders and drilling them to accept spreader bar type things on the inside to push the upper portion of the fender out and the lower fender squared to the ground, results were stellar, very difficult to notice its been done unless you stand just right or are looking for it, notice how the front bumper kinda squares out more,
thats cool how the fronts came out, im not a big fan of flared out aftermarket fenders, those stock ones flared look killer, if i was doing a road race car thats how i'd do it.
i agree, the tiger racing and maier racing fenders look like ass IMO, the guy i bought my rims from did an interesting thing to his car that i plan on doing everntually
Ok, bringing this one back from the dead, i made alot changes since i updated this, put the box-r intake on, faceplated the transmission, built the rear with 9" ends, no c-clips, narrowed a little bit to tuck the tires just right and i had to custom mill the north race cars brackets to work with the moser ends and backing plate to hold the axles in. Also had the torque boxes fixed(again) by a local guy around here that does some great work, he did the rear end also. The car has also been at the body shop the whole summer and will finally be done by this weekend or early next week. Now heres a ton of pics Rearend Tq boxes and subframes i painted, if you notice the tq boxes are now made up of thick plate and the subframe connector was extended all the way back These last pics are just of a 325 i tried to mock up for shts and giggles, they didnt fit, not even close, they hit the shock, and stuck way out of the outside of the wheelwell, i dont know how anyone fits these in a stock tub. 275 vs 325
the motor hasnt really changed much(on the first page), still the same cam, the only thing i changed was switching to the box-r intake and titanium retaners, which i did as a precaution because with the 4.30's i think im gonna be spinning a good ammount of RPM's thru the traps and before the retainers it would float the valves at 6700, it should spin to 7000 now but im hoping on motor i will only have to rev it to about 6600 at the big end
Eww bondo, other than that, looks good. I think the 325's have to do with offset mostly, cause my rims even with 275's pit back i have about 2.5" on the inside of the rim safely before i hit the coil overs
i dont care who you bring your car to, most body work is getting at least a skim coat of bondo. on a 20 year old car its hard to avoid And the 325's are on the correct offset wheel, if they had less backspace they would be way too far out, and if they had more backspace they wouldnt even make it all the way on.
nice pics man! lookin good. those torque boxes look killer. where did you find that add on front clip?
