Well guys i feel like i let us down. Couldnt run faster than a 14 flat... too much wheel spin and not enough grip. .533 reaction time and 107mph over the line

the 3sgte with a s54 trans is a 13 section track car and a 12 sec street car, dont let that time let you down.. on the streets from say a 20 roll you could argue for a 12 sec car..the cars dont do to well from a dig lol 107mph is just about a 12 section pass.. just wheel spin killed you.
my 3s/s54 beat a hatch that on the street that went 13.2 on the track to give you an idea. 14 flat isnt bad for its first time out, atta boy Ben! -------------------- st205 powered ss3 coupe

The car caught up like a missile on everyone i raced, like you said Ted95...from a dig that gear ratio kills you. Beat a wrx automatic but couldnt beat a manual. These were non-sti's but i was catching up quickly.

Close to a half-second r/t is generally regarded as pretty fine, eh? Well done.

did a good job Ben, the car pulls good once you get traction. you will solve alot of that issue with a set of BFG's KDW2's in the front. those tires hook and make a big difference in first a second gear, as well as a few poly mods too. thats what im running and i love them.

yes! wider wheels and turn your boost down a smigen! when I went to the rock this spring I ran a 14.2 on 8lbs maybe 14 lbs will tame that wheel spin
because i could straight up launch with no tire spin on 8lbs -------------------- |

Well guys I decided after the results that I put down at the track that it was time for some much needed suspension/handling/braking upgrades.
What I have: Celica GT4 front calipers Cadillac Catera Front Rotors What I just bought: XXR 530 et25 5x100 17x8.25's 73.1 to 54.1 hubcentric rings project KIKS two step 40 gram lugs d2 racing coilovers Still debating on what tire size to run because I don't want an inaccurate speedometer, but I can't decide on the tire width... What are your thoughs? 215/45/17's or 225/45/17's -------------------- ![]() |
