Only mods I have are Golf Tee Mod , K&N, 26lb Odyssey Battery, JBS2R and wheels/tires. Rest are cosmetic .

Anyway I'm hoping to post some good times from Fontana this Friday

go to terry's house then

How long do you have to drive to get to his house? Is Sherwin going there too?

Ya I think he's like right across the street from me.

I'm going to do some solo runs with my new victor-racer rear tires tonight. Let me know if you get to ride in Terry's car with the new DP's!

Oh ya I got race gas I'm hoping to give you a good run at Fontana too but now that you've got your downpipes... I may have to fill up my car with helium balloons or something!

Haha ok I know it "lightens" the car but mass doesn't change.

Are you running Kumho Victoracers as drag tires? I got a set of 4 but I believe they are stiff walled road racing tires.

Yep they are (V710's), but they're stickier than the road tires I have for these wheels. They're also a little smaller in diameter, (245/35/18), effectively giving me a slightly shorter gear ratio. Launches are going to be an issue so I'm going out tonight more for launch testing than anything else. I'm hoping the shorter gear ratio will also give me a slightly better acceleration. BUt who knows... testing is fun

Oh those are actually the ECTSA V710s. The Victoracers are the V700s.

I heard the ECTSTAs come to temp a lot quicker - so the autox'ers really like em. Might work for dragging, but I don't know much about that.

i think the better question is what's the difference between your car and Johnmartins?

Just checked JM's boost, for some reason he makes .5psi less than he should. Spike 14 holding 13.5, vs. spike 14.5 holding 14. So I gave him another .5psi.

In the process I broke his diverter valve nipple and had to scavenge one off my car. Now I need to find one tomorrow or I won't be able to race.

Sigh!

Ah I thought all of the Kumho competition tires were called Victoracers. My bad

I'm running a funky setup right now... 235/40/18 Falken Azenis RT-615's up front and 245/35/18 Kumho Ecsta V710's on the back. Fronts are taller than the rears so maybe it'll help with the launch?
I got the set of four V710's slightly used for $250 shipped I was going to put them on all 4 corners but decided not to do it because of possible rain Friday and Saturday... and also decided not to run the autocross and race course Saturday.

These wheels/tires are dual purposed

I used to have the SSTT. Great tune, and easy on/off. It was just very inconsistent for me...sometimes pulling hard, sometimes feeling no better than stock. So I got the JBS2 and I liked it, so I sold the SSTT. Excellent, easy to do tune.

The main difference I noticed is his rims are a lot heavier. He's also a stick where I'm an auto.

[G37KILR]

I have JB2 in my car and eveything else is bone stock. I would like to race someone with the V2.02 PROcede i think the results might be suprising. I have a coupe with auto. Anyone up for it in the LA area let me know. This would be again a customer vs customer race. Preferably someone with a coupe and V2.02 with auto.

That might take a week, i think only 3 people have beta but perhaps later this week some people in your area will have that map~ BTW, at this point i don't think anyone will be surprised regardless of the results, it has been pretty back and forth... I would love to see your jsb2(R i assume you mean otherwise you're kidding yourself with 98 go against a similar modded car with 2.02 on 91 however!

I think Adam was able to borrow 2.02, he went off to run JonM tonight. I was going to run with them but had to borrow a part from my car to repair Jon's. Hopefully Jon faired better vs. Adam (cars have basically the same mods), but his rims are damn heavy. Heavier than stock I think.

Naw Lexions are lighter than stock.

They are made by Rays after all.

I doubt 30 lbs. Stock is like 33.

My stock 162's with the nitto 555zr 275 on it was 61 lbs.
