The Ricer in 2008:

PS: Welcome to page 1.

You guys may want to think about re-reading this whole thing.

a. I said, I have had trouble stopping at a track that I did not know the run off was so short at ( I coasted a long way before attempting to slow down). I had to slam on the brakes at 140 mph causing fade ( or what I thought was fade anyhow).

b. Our car weighed in at over 3500 lbs when this happen.

c. Our car now weighs ALOT less (letting us use smalled brakes without any extra problems).

d. I’m not worried about brake fade in the least bit. It seems everyone else is.

This whole thing started because someone said I could not possibly experience brake fade from one stop. I guess Its not possible so it must have been something else…

I missed the part where you decided to coast for ages… don’t do that and you’ll be fine obviously.

I was treating it like it was nyirp where the shut down is alot longer! At norwalk alot of cars end up in the sand traps.

-Em

oh… I was picturing you at NYIRP doing a top speed run past the lights :smiley:

next time at 140 down shift to first

lol

I did the same thing at norwalk. almost hit that white fence, it sucks

nice slips

looks bad ass

looks sick…

that’s more like it!

:word:

why did you guys remove the wing?

I saw a vid about a year ago of evo top speed runs. they did one with, everything was fine. took it off and did another and the thing started spinning like crazy on the shut down

what size tire?

The wing slows the car down in the QT.

Choda The tires are a 26 X9.5 X15

+2

Evos with slicks strike fear in everyone at the track.

Looks great em, I feel like a dork though, since those are the same size and everything that I wanted to get, lol. It will look mean as hell though on all 4!
