I’m probably going to take more off. There’s a nice fat molding line that contours with the tire and I’ll probably actually take my time and trim it there to look more oem
The plastic fender wells above my front tires sadly sacrificed themselves in service of my aggressive fitment. The rears also wore through but out of sight, out of mind. Anyways I got tired of looking at the carnage under the hood and finally addressed them.
What follows is not for the faint of...
A little update- with Eibach springs I figured out that 10mm spacers are perfect for the MT ET Street SS 285-35-19 on oem wheels. Happy with fitment, learning to accept the new steering feel for what it is.
Agreed they are fairly cheap quality and do rust, especially after a few on and offs. I removed the rust from all of mine with a wire brush and I spray them thoroughly with LPS2 each time I install them now and that solved the rust issue completely. I just avoid spraying the threads and after...
I think the big turbo guys don’t care because they’re probably doing 1/4 mile stuff. Around town I would cringe driving without a filter, not for fear of ingesting rocks or water, just the dust and small particulate matter in the air. I’d worry about engine longevity and even turbine blade...
Personally wouldn’t worry about changing them unless they start losing torque in a short amount of time. I had to re-loctite and tq a few of mine after about 8,000 miles. Another 3,000 and they are still holding tq. I’m talking about stud to hub tq and not lug nut tq btw.
As requested here are some videos for you. I had to compress them to upload, hope sound quality is still ok.
Mods affecting sound:
-Armytrix catless DP
-Boost Logic non-valved titanium exhaust
-MST V2 intake with cover off
-CTS turbo inlet (maybe?)
-VRP titanium charge pipe/J pipe (maybe?)...
Somebody can correct me if I’m wrong but I imagine they’re not necessary on the street or under maybe 700whp on the strip. I want beadlocks simply because they look tough as hell and I’m not sold on the polished lip on all of welds non-beadlock
Hey all, I’m looking to buy a weld drag pack, but open to other brands. Any members or vendors have a lead on Black Friday discounts, selling used, or good alternatives?
Please drop some pics of your own setup here! I know there are a million wheel threads already, this is drag pack exclusive...
That’s a good point that I didn’t consider. I guess while full sending I’ve never had a fear of being too loud; out of the various legalities being abused in that moment, the sound I’m creating is pretty low on the list. Just want to clarify the obscene downshifts are an intentional thing...
Thanks for your insight! This is the first car I’ve owned above 350whp so drag radials are something new to me. I’m in the process of going top mount and pi right now and I’m beginning to think the switch to 305-45-17 is going to be mandatory. I can do this trial and error between brands again...
I’ll take some tomorrow and post. It’s absolutely wild and fun. I could only afford the non-valved boost logic at the time, so I’m open exhaust full time. It’s truly not bad though, all passengers to date have complimented the sound with no exceptions. I respect variance in taste, but if this...
Recently wore out my Nitto 555r2’s and decided to try the Mickey Thomson Street SS this time around for comparison. I’ve had them on for a month now and I’ll share my personal experience in this needlessly long and probably previously discussed thread. This pertains to rear tires only.
My...
Armytrix catless installed for a year with boost logic exhaust, sounds incredible, never had a cel or any issues. Personal preference- but I would never install a catted dp unless required for emissions, pretty limp mod imho.
