I HAVE AN OPTION!!

Get great fitment on those wheels you have. then buy 13's that are light as crap and put slicks on them. then when you autocross you dont even have to adj suspension cuz the smaller wheels clear. when your done driving reckless in a parking lot full of cones put your fitted wheels back on and drive home stanceworks style.

hahahaha, nice

While that is a great idea, I need at least 16s for my brakes to clear

any performance mods?

Just some very rudimentary stuff, the car was a sleeper when it was stock. (People normally see mid 15s @ about 91 MPH). It's not a terrifically fast car, but it gets goin faster than most would expect. Also, it was rated at 151/155 at the crank, but most owners who put the car on a dyno see at least 148-152 to the wheels. With a 15% drivetrain loss, that equates to over 175 crank HP. Mine just has a tune, for now. We figure it would put about 160 to the wheels, maybe 165, if I was extremely lucky. Considering the car weighed in at a touch under 2500lbs, it's not too shabby.

i like your priorities. performance then looks, thats how its supposed to get done. and if done right, it will perform better than it looks, like a sleeper.

Damn right! Thanks man!

It's a helluva sleeper as it is

get over the price, he quite obviously stated his purpose. if you failed to read that, thats your problem.

That's why I said it was still a step in the right direction. Easy does it.

Comrade did work on the current set-up.... Improvement?

[cobrawannabe]

I didnt read all the posts in this and im not here to bash. I auto-x a bit and i would seriously check the scca rules to see if those wheels are not to big for auto-x or you could possibly get bumped into a higher class with much higher powered cars. Also those look like they would be heavy so thats a consideration as well. Honestly you could have lowered the car properly for auto-x/handling situations and got a nice 15 inch rpf-1 on azenis if your wanting to keep it in the rules for your class.

Thanks a lot for the tips, but I'm just doing Auto-X ith CART for right now... Kinda some fun runs before I actually get good. Here's what I've gathered...

1. 17" is a stock Ficus size, as featured on SVT cars.
2. Believe it or not, I saved 4 lbs a wheels, even going up an inch.
3. I WOULD have lowered the car first, but I needed a set of winter wheels/ tires, and a set of summer wheels/ tires.

Thanks, again for the ideas and concern, man!

This is the code I live by....

Maybe we need to make the commandments of dumpage...

Hahaha, good idea

I can see that ride being STRAIGHT SICK Keep at it bro

That means a lot coming from one of the Patron Saints of Stance.




Oh, and one of the many ideas in my head. PS work compliments of comrade...
