your goal would be to put enough tire patch on the road ... soo 17x8 is a good size but your limited to fender when running huge tires...
Its the reason why I prefer smaller rims...
Lastly !!!
if you run coilovers ... biggest improvement you'll get is to do a corner balance, a proper alignment, and ride leveling ... I use to go to my place near me here in SoCal ... WestEnd Alignment. Was sponsored by Darren once in a long time ago
you want less understeer setup the car and suspension to do that ...
alittle trick japanese races and touge races do .. is run a smaller rim in the rears bigger side wall. Its was alot of Honda ITR spec cars use to do ...
go stiffer rear springs and have the shocks to support that ... get a...
so why are you going larger rears at the track ??? is this for a car show of some sort ??? personally dont like HUGE rims unless I can fit more rubber in there... Dood its a fwd car not a rwd car... save the offset stuff for the streets and rube proper off set wheels on the track.
as far as...
I was planning on my trusted brand Toyos.i wanted to check out their R888 or just order a set of Toyo RA1's ... track only tires need heat cycling first and they'll last along time.
so if you unplug the abs unit you'll disable the tpms and traction control ???
I'm about to invest in some track suspension and I dont want to drop $2 Grand on a suspension on a car thats going to trip out when I lower my road racing tires down to 16 to 19psi or 10 to 12psi on drag slicks...
Yeah I should but I'm going to wait for me to get the down pipe first. And I'm debating between getting vit to do a tune for me or go to a local tuner. I have few famous tuners around me...
I just learned to datalog with the flashpro and did a couple WOT runs as expected 10.7:1 near redline and about 13 to 12:1 just normal driving...
Had like 9 knocks and air intake temp was pretty stable at 72 to 77degrees never going above 77... I wish I could do a comparison of polymer intake...
wow really theres no way of disabling tpms system ??? When I do road racing at streets of willow I end up running like low 20psi tire pressures; maybe even dipping down to about 16 to 17psi... With TPMS on I cant do this... And I like TypeS2Si said I could disconnect vsa but I would lose ABS ...
I had my first check engine light right after doing a run going up a slight grade... It was a check emissions ... I cleared it before getting the actual code ... How do I check codes on this car ????
Yes it does but it does feel alittle flat on top. Alittle more power on top but still feels alittle flat. Definitely needs fine tuning to extract the most out of it...
I personally like the composite intake tubes better less heat transfer. And since the maf tube is oem size it doesnt require a tune to run.. Just needs alittle fine tuning to get more power out of it. Because for sure I know this thing ( even with the hondata reflash on the flashpro) is running...
