Anyone have pics of the Z10 engineering traction control system

 

You mean this one???



We're picking up the entire line, but nothing is available yet.

 

i believe LIP has it

 

I just got back from vacation....what part of it do you want to see? just click on my Z10 link

 

doh... i know nothing about this. what is it exactly?

 

Lip,

Have you tested out the Z10 on the track ? Does really help prevent axles and CV joint breakage from high RPM launches(6500-7500+) ?

Also, wouldn't you by chance have any recommendation for stronger axles ? So, far I think I might get the driveshaftsshop stage 1 kit, and see if that will hold up to launches around that RPM ? I put down around 175hp and 132 lbs, do think that driveshaftshop stage axles can hold up to that type of launches ?

 

I don't think a Type R will need this. It strenghtens the front lower arm assembly....

 

For more info please see the article on HYBRID.

Titled Z10 Radius Arms

If you have any questions feel free to email me at geoff@z10eng.com or call us at 732-922-2309.

A type R will surely benefit from the addition of lower control arm stabilization.

 

A very good article. Wonder how the civic would do with that? Would lower than 2.1's on street tires be possible with the bar? Hmmmmmmmmm

With my personal car, a turbo 94 civic hybrid, i have hit a best of 1.97 60 foot with BFG drag radials. With a 555r drag radial 2.06 was the best.

The best thing the traction bars do is that they truly stop, *any* wheelhop. For all street racers out there that bounce like a rabbit outta the hole, this makes a world of difference. Street tires really allow the arms to work. The wrinkle walls of a slick diminsh wheelhop as they absorb shock, making radius rods effects less noticable.

 

havent read any of the mentioned articles yet...but is this a drag racing only application? will it help any in an autocross or roadcoarse, other than starts?

 

This is not at all a drag race only product. We have a number of road racers that use our kit, and none of their cars will ever see the drag strip.

Read the hybrid article, as Joe R (webmaster at hybrid) is not at all a drag guy, and very much into handling. Deflection of the lower control arms is completely minimized and caster can now be adjusted via preload tension. I hope this helps.

 

Thanks Geoff.

hrm, very interesting!

Not the easiest to see from these photos..but i'm certainly using it

 

Kinda off topic here, but what did you use to cut your valve cover like that Lip?
