:frowning: shoulda kept the front end lol

looks good. :tup:

what kind of tire/wheel set up are you running? hopefully not those wigger ones on there now.

keeping the wheels that are on there now, and putting 225/50 bfg’s on the front

i see no sense in getting rid of the rims/tires unless a good deal comes my way, as it is im the only one within a couple hours who has these wheels and i like it that way

thanks for the comments :tup:

Go 235/60/15s you will blow threw those 225/50s… ask me how i know LOL.

235 is just a bit too tall for me, i could fit 225 w/o modifying the suspension, thanks for the heads up though

Yea i got away from the DRs after killing them real quick at 400whp+ 3rd gear burn outs take a toll on that soft rubber.

did you have boost by gear or anything?

No i didnt i pretty much gave up on the street racing thing a while ago and never really needed it for the track.

ya my last teg was a b16 putting down close to 350whp and barely any traction problems, although i think 150whp more and ALOT more tq i will have nothing but problems getting traction although boost by gear will help

now is it just me or does that valve cover say OH VTEC lol

nope… it does lol

LOl thats fucking awesome. what did you use to paint the vc by the way? powdercoat?
