well I got a kick *** deal from newman at jdmshit.com so I had to jump on it. tell me what you think.

 

You sure do love flat back..wheels/tires look mean.

 

looks good...

 

i actually dont love flat black, the ninja is my roomates and they are black in the front stock the rest is green, the flat rex outside is a customers. mine is only flat black because the stock white was chipping so i painted it white with rattle can.... started to show surface rust so I sprayed it with rustoleum and it has since slowed the progression of the rust.... the wheels and tires happened to be my paint money.

 

looks great! how much did the slicks run ya? and of course we need engine pics

 

485 shipped , slicks, rims, lugs and spacers. hold on and ill get you an old engine pic, the engine is currently out for a minor rebuild.

 

how do they fit?

 

here is the engine pic

The turbo will also be turned around so I can run the full width radiator.

wow that is really good.

looks good too

 

yea 85 of that was shipping and paypal cost. I was orig planning on running 26's kinda glad I held off.

 

they fit really well with the spacers.

 

cool, 26's are big, i'd imagine you'd go through driveline parts with those. what times are you going for?

 

mid 11s
I already have dss.com axles, quaife, 6puck clutch, flywheel, all new synchros. and well thats about it in driveline parts.

 

Time for some fender flares

 

I would put fender flares on but this is mainly a street car that sees the track 2 times a week, I still want a stock apperance.

 

looks good, you should relocate that battery and you'll be blinging

 

people running 10s only run a 24.5 inch slick. There is no need I see for a 26 inch slick. That is way ******* huge. I ran 11s on 22 inch slicks and i was shifting into 5th that is why i went to 24.5 inch slicks so i would stay in 4th gear. Just trying to give you a heads up.
Good luck with the 11s i know it will happen.

i would agree. 26's would have been too big for your goal. the 24.5's were a good choice

 

i can do full turns on my 24.5 slicks. I'm sure he has no problems.

 

26"ers = shattered tranny cases...

Looks good. I can't wait to bolt mine on...

 

most of the shattered trans cases I have seen have been due to the diff exploding, thats the main reason I went with a quaife... but yea I think I will be plenty pleased with the 24.5's... when these wear out I think im going to try the m and h's just to compare the differences.
also what size rim are you running, my roomate on his n20 powered b20 rex is spinning into 3rd with 22's Im assuming its due to the fact that they are on 15 in rims. Im really excited to see how it does, my last setup was a stock b16 n/a. this is a pretty big jump for me. Thanks for all the feed back guys, the track opened last week here so im really trying to bust butt to finish it, this week was the first time that it got over 50 for more than 3 days in a row. Indiana sucks. Anyways Ill keep everyone posted, the group im part of is also planning on releasing a video next year, nothing major but hopefuly something that may help the scene around here. once again thanks for all the compliments, and if anyone wonders about buying from newman at jdmshit.com.... he's an OK guy in my book.

 

Pics looks good

FYI, my friend was able to hit 10.7 on those (same slicks, older rubber) in his CRX and I was hitting high-11's with my H22 EG hatchback w/100 shot, pulling 1.6-1.8 60' times. You should be able to hook up really well with those.

 

looks good will post pics of my 89 on 22'' slicks later

 

you'll have to give us an update on what times you get.

edit: what management are you using?

I was spinning in 3rd as well. I was having terrible launches because the tires were spinning really bad. I'm hoping for 10s this weekend but it rained. I'm using m and h and I swear by them. John is a good man. Plus its my fiances initials so its a running joke she made the tires. Yeah sounds like your buddy needs a bigger slick.
