His screen name was B18 CYA and this was his car



Between him and oneqkfodo, they are the only two EF's that I know of that run or ran 235 -60-15" street tires. I am working with an EF now and just wanted to see some more pics of EF's with 235's and get some input on what they thought of them. I ran them on my EG and had some success with them, so I have background with these tires. Just want some more EF guys feedback and pics and maybe talk about any trimming or suspension stuff they may have done.

Cool, just thought I would ask in here since I remember him posting in this forum a lot. That is where I got that pic of his car. Also, since a lot of guys that are into drag racing use 235's I thought I would ask in this forum.

I used to have some on my ef with stock fenders and bumper and I didn't care for em. Only because of the fact my suspension wasn't adjustable enough and my fenders cut spits in em

I have not put my old set on my EF yet, but I am thinking the fenders may need to be trimmed.

On my EG I managed to cut one up a little with one of the tabs on the inside of the fender. The tire rubbed it just right and pulled it down where it turned into a knife and slit the tire up.

If you have pics of your car (EF) with the 235's feel free to post them up. I would like to look at more EF's with these tires.

Here are some old pics from when we were running the 235/60/15 drag radials and we just had to raise the front of the car and roll the inside of the fenders for clearance.

Thank you for the pictures. I have some pictures of your car that I took from a NOPI race @ Rockingham years ago.

Between your car and the one I originally pictured, you two are the only two I really knew of that ran big street tires on an EF chassis.

Did you search around in the drag forum? I thought he posted a few weeks ago could be a few months now that he bought the car back and was redoing it. I thought it was an ef and that was the screen name.

I did a bunch of searching before I posted. Did not find where he had posted anything in awhile.

I am getting closer to actually putting my car together, so I am digging this post up from the dead. Been hacking away at this piece-o-junk for too long now. Need to buckle down and really get it together.

I ran across a guy not to far from me that has some lightly used MT 235-60-15" radials that he is willing to part with for a decent price. The only EF chassis car that I have ever seen these on is oneqkfodo's car. Anyone else have any experience with these or have pics of them on the EF, please chime in.

I know this subject gets beat to death about the 235 sized street tires, but if I can run these on an EF and avoid cutting and whatnot I will probably go with them. However, I am in unchartered territory with an EF. This if my first EF build.

We needed spacers in order for 235/60/15 MT to fit under an EF without hitting the upper control arm. Once the spacers were on it was all good. Fenders were previously rolled. 1/2" spacer did the trick. We also raised the car about 2" all the way around.

i have a set here in jersey for pretty cheap. pm me need to move them asap.

oneqkfodo

We had integra front knuckles on the car so we didn't need spacers

Thanks for that info. You got any pics of your car with the 235's on it?

I am still running the stock stuff on mine.

I'll dig up some pictures to post up, I've been running them on the street for a few years. I run a 10mm spacer to clear the UCA's, and I have cut carbon fiber fenders. My only issue that I have is the turning radius causes my tire to hit intercooler piping if I go full-lock.

Thanks for the info man and please dig those pics out and post them up.

I will be running a 15x8" wheel with probably a set of M&H 235's which are a little shorter than the MT 235's from what I know. Maybe the 15x8" wheel will stretch the tire a little and make it even shorter?

Here it is before the car was painted.

I'll look for some more!

^^^^one of my all-time favorite hondas and i've been lucky enough to see it in person.

How much of the fender did you trim? Kind of hard for me to tell in the pics.

Please find some more of that beast! Looks really cool from what you have shown so far.

GT35R_EF

Where'd you see me at, and did you come up and say something!? I always run into so many random people from here and get people mixed up. You're one of the few people I've seen post frequently on HT that are from around this area.

Thanks! I want to say I cut about 1"-1 1/4" evenly off the fender, then used some door edgemolding on the lip of the fender so it wasn't sharp. I'd say the fitment is ok, as I can drive the car on the street without any problems, and as long as I'm paying attention I never go full-lock and rub. I'll look for some more pictures, been gone all day at work so I'll try to dig some up.

i believe i seen it at track forged getting tuned...this was before it was painted. probably about two years ago when brian green still worked there. very clean car.
