How far from the ground do you have the wheels on your fwd wheelie bar?




tx Alli

 

I have mine about 1/4'' to 1/8'' off the ground.

 

1/8" too

 

wow, can you hear the bars dragging the ground?

 

When the car is being towed or driven around the pits yea, always makes noise. But with a pin-able rear wheel housing you can lift them up quick thus stopping that.

 

ok but what is the lenght on the wheelie bar? ss from the car to the wheels

 

65 inches from the rear most part of the bumper to the back edge of the wheelie bar wheel

 

The standard most people follow is 65" behind the back of the car, so depending on where your mounting point is it could be 70" or 68" etc.

However, since most people don't have any rules to follow you could probably get pretty crazy now.

 

ok thx guys i am just starting on my car for next seson and want to lower my 60" my best 60" is like 1,9 on M/H 24,5" slicks thats crap hahah hope i am going to have the fastest fwd car in iceland next year :D

 

ICELAND!!!!! dame i didnt know u guys had a drag strip. i was their a few years ago visiting my bro. the only fun thing i did was take his piece of sh*t lancer rallying through the mountains. thats all i thought u guys had. he was in the navy thier.
also took some karts for a ride.
it was a crazy leaving a bar at 3am & the sun being out.
did notice the fish hanging around, lol

im in Columbia right now trying to see if their is a track to check out

 

Make sure you make the thing adjustable and not just solid at one height. No one sets them up for a specific height because they have to be adjusted every pass. All the rules stated was that when you rolled up to the line, the wheel had to be able to spin.

Also, I recommend against one that can be unpinned and lifted for going through the pits. This is how I had mine setup and there was too much give and movement. I welded that solid and added one extra brace and that improved short times dramatically!!!!

65" from rear bumper, and make them solid. Run a light spring in back, like an 80lb and make sure your strut will hold it down on its own once it is compressed.

 

hehe yea i knew some guys at the base always giving me cheap vodka haha.. well you did not know that there was drag strip here :D the first drag strip in europe that was build as dragstrip was in iceland,, all the other contry´s only got some airplane road or what you call it in english hehehehehe
