the rims are alright looking, but i couldnt pass them up, but all there going to do is sit in the garage , and only be used at the track

Steal!

 

[SaleenGT2001]

wow, nice deal!

 

[Tim2002GT]

That's an incredible deal! I'll give ya $151 for them, lol!!

 

[98COBRA281]

yeah, i found them on craigslist, about 7 miles from my house, and ive been looking for a set of a while now, i took a ride with them on, they are deffently not going to be used on the street, they feel like jello when turning

 

[Tim2002GT]

That alone will probably get your 12 second timeslip! Good luck! Be careful on the top end of the track if your running radials up front. They have a tendency to sway a little at speed.

Nice deal!!!!!

hopfullyyou can see the cardbord box in the on pic, those are UPR upper and lower torque box reinformances, and the full lenght subframes are waiting in the garage

Be careful on the top end of the track if your running radials up front. They have a tendency to sway a little at speed.

do you mean front runners, or just my regular 245's? i raced my buddies fox with slicks, and front runners, it was my first time runing a car with slicks/skinnies, and at about 80+ it swayed like hell all the way to 125mph.......

 

[Tim2002GT]

It will probably still sway some on the top end. Shouldn't be too bad though. I drove my buddies LS1 Vette that had his regular street tires on the front and et drags on back and it swayed like a mofo. It was a low 13/high 12 second car. The first two passes it spooked me a little, but after that it didn't seem to bother me.

I should add the tire pressure was only around 14 psi.

 

[02nightmaregt]

Kick arse dude! Thats awesome.

 

[98COBRA281]

what sound i run the tire pressure at? and how should i launch it? im sort of worried about the trans and axle's

 

[Tim2002GT]

Don't worry, the axles will go before the tranny! Mine did anyway!

If your still running the stock axles/diff then you may want to be a lttle conservative with the launch. By conservative I mean 3-3500 rpm or so. My axle broke launching at only 3500rpm w/et street radials on a pretty well prepped track. That was with the nitrous though. On motor, it probably would have held up fine to a more aggresive launch. I would strongly suggest you upgrade to a 31 spline setup before you really give it hell. It is just the luck of the draw with these rearends on how much it will hold.

I would try them around 20 psi for starters and go from there.

 

[98COBRA281]

yeah im still on stock axles/diff, i wont be leaving on the bottle untill i build the rear, i know that just asking for trouble, im pretty sure im just going to go with a 31 spline spool/axles, c-clip eliminaters, girdle, and weld the axle tubes, then i will be leaving off the 2-step on the bottle

 

[02nightmaregt]

Hot damn that sounds like a mean launch to me

 

[BlownStangGT]

Sweet man! Thats what I need!

 

[98COBRA281]

Sweet man! Thats what I need!

yeah, im glad i found a set...

i did a little research, and found out that the rims are cragar comets, and they cost 125$ each from summit, and the tires are 185$ each, so i think i got a pretty good deal......lol

 

[02nightmaregt]

Damn! I'd say you came out on top in that deal

 

[BlownStangGT]

Oh you def. got a great deal thats for sure! I cant wait till the fall when I take the car back and get it retuned and fixed and ready for the track, then I can finally get some sticky tires and take it to the track!
