New track wheels and slicks...

Thanks! I think I’m gonna run a 7mm spacer to make it an even 35 offset. I did a little John Force burnout in front of Elliots house today with them at 15psi and ripped up the block in 1st at WOT. No rubbing at all. The spacer will pretty much be for good measures.

I think I had a valve issue. I had the compression issue after using the Altamont ave 112 Sunoco fuel in my car for the fisrt time. After the fuel was all gone, I noticed it was smoking less and seemed to gain some power back. I was also running the car rich, as I bumped up the fuel pressure 4psi when I installed the fuel system. I turned my fuel pressure back down to 58psi static and Sea Foamed the car yesterday. I did a leakdown test after work today. Zero loss on all cylinders at 160psi. Back in business!

Glad to hear dude! You need to use Shell V-Power to hell reduce engine gunk buildup :rofl

BTW, What time you leaving for the track saterday morning, I don’t know if I can make it as my parents are away and its just me and the woman, but if I can i’d like to drive up with a few people

I’d like to be there at 8am, but I’m sure that’s not gonna happen. I believe theres a bunch of us packing into Murray’s truck (he’s towing my car out there)

I haven’t gotten a solid answer yet. If everyone wants to leave later in the morning, I may just drive there on slicks from my house.

Why not just swap the slicks out when you get there then?

If I drive there by myself in the morning, I have nowhere to put a jack, tools, and an extra set of wheels/tires.

I have a Snap-On impact gun and a Blue Point jack I could bring if you want me to. If you could find a place to put your DD front wheels/tires I’ll bring my impact & jack.
Driving on the slicks will wear them out quickkkk

Yea I think a couple of us are heading up and I think if Chris goes the civic will be there to store shit in

Have you ever run any MMT-based additives like Torco? My old motor failed a comp/leakdown test because of buildup on the valves like yours. I actually was running some of the rotterdam racegas back then too but we blamed it on the torco.

Jim, I PMed you my cell #…text me today/tonight and let me know so I can throw the shit in my car tonight.

I never tried torco. The only race fuels I’ve used is VP C12 and Sunoco 112.

@SSmokinn SS"

IMO, slicks look sooo funny on FWD cars. They just dont look right, I will never get over it lol

X2!

[Mk4_30R_Ban]

i want a set of them in 17x8 in back(225/45/17) and a set of 15x8s ET32’s for the front so i can put a 255/50/15 on them :excited

@JiM P 2001

I wish I still had the 17’s from last year! :banghead

[JiM_P_2001]

12.24@112… Garbage… My only clean pass and I bogged out of the hole. I guess that’s why it’s called test and tune!

[94Gt5.0]

Not bad at all man!

[JiM_P_2001]

It’s got 11-sec potential. I only cut a 1.75 60’ because it bogged… I can’t wait to spray the crap out of it!
