Sadly this year has been rough of my car. I finally park in a access controlled garage daily, and I get MORE dents than 3 years of parking on the street. Here's last years 'July 4th wax-a-thon' picture of my Grand Prix GT...hopefully it will look like this again in a couple weeks.

I always wonder if these people realize that huge wheels make their stock brake discs/calipers look very small? It's the first thing I notice when I see 22's on a decidedly non-performance oriented vehicle.

ozziegt posted:Is that a supercharger I see poking out? Have you taken it to the drag strip? The car was running consistent 13.4's at 105 on street tires at Atco raceway in new jersey, I'm sure on drag radials if I can get 60ft's down to 1.9 I can definitely smash a 12.9/8 pass. I'm waiting on the 3.15 pulley and bigger injectors then I'll be re-running it.

quote:they're 17x9's Yes, I was obviously referring to the completely stock sized wheels (Sis come with 17s from the factory right?) on your Civic and not that other guy with the black wheels halfway inside the fender and barely visible brakes. Also any wheel larger than 15" is upper bourgeois extravagance.

My 16s make my brakes look small (the front ones actually have a 1" larger rotor than stock too...  ) Other people seem to go WAY to loving big though. What rotating mass?

ozziegt posted:Wow...pretty quick. Do you get a lot of torque steer? The car dyno's 273whp/183/wtq, so honestly there's really no torque steer. I've launched the car a few times off the "two-step" which is at 5500, and it definitely starts to torque steer but honestly it's more manageable and 1,000% easier to handle than my friends absolutely bone stock MazdaSpeed 3 which feels like the front end is going to collapse on itself. I'm hoping for 305/310whp with the new pulley, methanol and a retune from Jeff Evans.

It's very much in the project stages right now. The original owner swapped the original engine for a 318, but I have a pristine rebuilt 340 four barrel and some headers that I'm going to drop in it.

I wonder if they'll call the new ones slotless p-slots? I call them expensive (had to replace one after a curbing incident) On that note, anyone turned a wheel into a coffee table?

I won't be modding it until I have a chance to try it out on a race track to see what it's like stock. And before I do that I'll need to install a roll bar on it.
