I want the polished skinnies for the rear of my CRX but man they are expensive if they are purely for looks.

Right now I am running 08 Fit wheels on the rear. If anything it seems like skinnies on the rear would make the car less stable.

I would like to know how they feel going down the track. I have ran skinnies on the front of my 5.0 but the purpose was to pull the front wheels off the ground on the launch.

 

im sorry to hear you thought skinnies were all the differance between pullin tire or not. LOL

*joke of the day

 

lol so funny

 

lol dave

skinnys are good at weight reduction and less drag (contact patch) not just "looking cool"

 

I am sure the 3k in drag suspension had alot more to do with pulling the tires. Big weight difference between 17X9 street wheels and 15X3.5 drag wheels in the front smart guy. I am sorry to hear you think weight bias doesnt matter.

 

It doesnt take 3k in supa kewl drag suspension to pull the front wheels either

 

LOL


want a tissue, dipshit ?

 

Man it sure doesnt. I am sure I could have dropped in some 4.56 gears and big redneck slicks and pulled the wheels with stock suspension.

It just so happens I had that 5.0 forever and had a very nice consistant set-up that won on raceday. I was pulling 1.58-1.63 60fts forever and never pulled the wheels. I set a goal to pull the wheels just for the hell of it. Relocating the battery to the rear and running skinnies up front was just enough to get a little air under the tires.

But whatever.

 

Wow you are a credit to Honda-tech.

Learn to spell before you try to belittle someone next time so you dont look stupid.

 

Well ive pulled the fronts on my shops fox body with 500 dollars worth of suspension, lakewood 90/10 struts, moroso springs, and stock rear suspension besides a custom fabbed sway bar, so there ya go, oh yeah and some big redneck honky tonk Hoosiers too LOL

 

1.36 here son..... FWD

no air under my FWD tires.

 

Congratulations, I am sure you are a wealth of knowledge when your not being a dick.

 

not really, im just an ordinary drunken dipshit from cornfield PA.

nothing special around here.

 

He can be, but I just noticed where he's from (lately). Our beloved DaveF must be having a bad day.




Again.

 

Nice thread

 

they feel nice.

 

Dam dave you drinkin that moonshine again? Guess they ran out of grass in your neck of the woods.

 

sick dave, just SICK

 

In your case, I'd say the skinnies would be just for looks.

tissues!

 

to the op. you usually pick up some mph in the end. might have something to do with the 8lb loss rule too; 8lbs of rotating mass equaling 100 lbs of dead weight.

 

been gettin with that Lager from Pottsville PA lately !

Yuengling ! get ya some !

 

Thanks for a post that was on topic and useful.

With the low torque these Honda motors make weight reduction is crucial. I just wanted to make sure the rear skinnies didnt make the car feel weird on the big end.

I dont think that rule would apply to the non-powered wheels though.

Thanks for the insight Dave.

 

insight ? LOL. drink beer, get giddy !


anywho. **** the skinnies, get your power up and learn wTF you are doing. then you can go fast.

Joe Simpson went 9.1 with some hokey *** wheel's/tires on the back of his outlaw
teg.


* in other words, you moneys are better spent elsewhere.

 

well if you trapping anywhere like 135+ you gotta be careful when letting off or hitting the brakes. car lifts easy and can get outta control since there barely any contact. ive seen a few crashes cause of that issue.

 

Dial in some negative camber in the rear, and the car shouldn't feel too bad.
