Thread: Track sucks!

^^^^ Hehe. Yep, that's the way to work it.

Lenso 13x7.5 wheels with MH 24.5x8x13 rubber



I'm picking up a new set from the shop, but in gunmetal. $600 with wheels and slicks, not a bad deal Wanted to use the shops wheels to ensure they clear the calipers and whatnot. Definitely need to run extended wheel studs in order to use them, and I already have Nismo wheel studs in the garage. I honestly had no idea a 13" wheel would clear the NX2000 brakes.

Wait... when you were on crack?

Lmao! LIKE I was on crack :P. Damn I'm generally pretty good with typos, too! Must be the crackberry. Pretty hard to type on.

Dayum Tek you jumped right away at that opportunity. Those Lenso's are the sechs. I'm just pissed that you can't find those rims in a 15" or 16" configuration anymore. I would defintely have to get a set.

Its amazing how well those 13" wheels clear isnt it?

Well the gold wheels aren't mine, literally. I just test fit them. I'm going to pick them up in gunmetal.



No doubt! All this stuff I hear about 14" wheels not clearing the NX calipers and rotors, I was afraid that these wouldn't fit.

Another update:

Took her to the track again last night, and deflated the Toyo Proxes 4's to around 22psi, warmed them up a little bit by doing hot laps, and then did a few passes. I did just as bad as before, on the first two runs. The third run I missed 3rd, but still trapped 110

I've been playing with the dynolicious software on the iPhone, and it's damn near spot on with the timeslip, but there's one thing that makes me wonder.

The WHP that the software reports is right at 400whp?! I don't know how accurate that is yet, as I have yet to dyno the car as it sits. If I were honestly making 400whp, it's no damn wonder I have absolutely 0 traction no matter what I do with these tires. I'm still putting off whether to buy slicks, or buy some really damn good street tires. I don't want to kill the tranny before I get a trailer and truck to tow it home, so I'm leaning away from slicks. It's a 99 P11 non-lsd tranny, so not only do I have weak 3rd gear, I have no lsd.

Crappy video my friend took in car a couple weeks ago.

Oh and it's 15psi, not 9psi.

setup sounds real nice, is the software using your 0-60 times or 1/4s to conjour up the whp? i know some of those softwares use those types of inputs to get a whp estimation.......what do you estimate you are making, 400whp doesnt sound out of the picture....what type of suspension are you running, you might wanna start looking into a adjustable suspension setup so you can fine tune it to also help with traction if you already arent setup with a adjustable setup just a thought...after you start making those kinda numbers, you have to start looking elsehwere for traction support, everything from tires,to rims, to suspension,EVERYTHING lol.
