As always comment/critques are welcome

My thoughts well since i am running HX wheels with (185/60/14) i am thinking that i am not getting traction in 1st and 2nd gear. Mainly because when i shift the tire do not churp and plus my friend with a K24A4 in his EM1 Si has pulled away from me. I need to get tuned and get exhaust. Hopefully that will remedy my problem or make it worse.

THE CAR


ENGINE

 

this is be in the appearance section...but anyways, your setup looks good

 

Agreed. Nice hatch, and with a K20, you must be damn happy. Congrats.

 

thanks guys
mods feel free to move

 

Thats hot man!!! Yup, all you need is nice flowing cat-back and better wheels for better traction. Good job man

 

very nice

 

cleannnn
looks real nice

 

When you say you do't think you're getting traction because it doesn't chirp... are the wheels spinning or is it just going with no spinning or chirping?

You know if it doesn't chirp or spin you are getting traction. Chirping is due to a lack of traction, then sudden traction and spinning is due to even less traction.

 

nice, good job, get some 16" wheels with some falken or nitto tires. suprised your not spinning in 3rd

 

Well what i am figuring is that i would except the wheels to have enough traction to churp although since i haven't heard/felt it makes me question whether i am getting traction. Also since my friend with a k24 (tuned) in an EM1 has pulled on me it seems as though my idea of now traction may possibly hold.

Hopefully that clearify it a little better.
And for the record i do not quite understand what saying

 

You can't tell if your wheels are spinning or not?

 

If you do not have traction, then your tires will be spinning.

If your tires are spinning, you will hear it.

Do you hear your tires spinning?

If you don't hear your tires spinning and the tires aren't chirping, then you ARE getting traction. Traction is when the force applied from the engine through the tires is applied to the road thus moving you forward.

A tire chirping means that you are momentarily losing traction. A tire spinning means you have very little traction.

Does that make more sense?

my buddy has 14" wheels with BFG DOT race slicks gonna run those at the track

 

Sleeper? Do it....

 

Thats strange.. how is an EM1 pulling on you

And how arent you scratching third gear?

 

thats a straight sleeper. i like your car a lot. i suggest you carry the theme into a stealthy exhaust set up. maybe you can find some stickier tires to put on the hx's. or just get some rims and put them on when you need that extra traction.

i think you should keep the car the way it is except for the above mentioned. or whatever else your heart pleases

 

clean car with a k20! w00t.

Oh man that is tight, loving the black IM.

 

k series ftw!

 

thats nice, liking the IM

 

I think you should keep the hx's paint them, and get better tires, and you'll be set. Looks nice

 

sick

 

sleeper

 

Throw some BFG DRs on them...no slipp'n then!
