itll prob rain drag day or we just wont have one lol! Is there a strip thats close? Ill bring an extra tranny with me lol. But with the BFG's you gotta drop the pressure down to like 13-15psi and heat them up good. They will hook though!

I am going with 205 55 14's on stock B13 wheels.

I know the guys in PR do well with these so I am going to give them a shot.

im in afghanistan so not this year. Im making the next year convention. Ill be back from here and have plenty of time to get the car ready to go. VE head on, IM, and precision turbo of course. I wish i could have made it this year but just not gonna happen. We need to have the next convention in Texas or something to make it an even travel for everyone on the west and east coast. lol. That would have been a hell of a trip this year to it.

I had some bfgs on nx rims years ago. When they hooked I was out.

Just try and get the widest tire you can fit for the biggest footprint.

5wheel on low boost is no joke.

They used to have 225/45/14's and that was my tire of choice. I could keep the car stock looking and be a lil sleeper. Then they stopped making them

I seriously hate these fucking cars. Everytime you turn around its something else. And I do my shit official and I still cant catch a break with this car. 4th breaks 2 days after I put the built motor in. Then the car starts breaking up thursday when I went to the track...I swap the coil out and everything is good. Then today I leave black strips down the road something crazy like when I took off on the drag radials and the car is hauling ASS at 14lbs....and boom. It felt just like when I had a coupler blow off the same thursday right before I went to the track. So I think ok it blew off again. Since I have pretty much -3 vacuum. Pop the hood and check everything expecting to find an easy fix but nothings loose. Who knows what the fack is wrong this time. I hate the fucking cars. Seriously. Its always something.

you knew this man. it never stops.

one of the main reasons i left the turbo game. just to much up keep.

looking foward to just general maintanence like with all my other n/a sr20s.

good luck, i feel for you.
