Pics...ok I guess it is a 'race car' now

Redsnk95 · May 11, 2006

Few new pics here. The pics are big and I didn't feel like re-sizing sorry. The Bogart R/T rims are just...well nice. The 15x10's out back with the 28x10.5/15S ET Drags just fill in nice. Installed ARP front studs for the front runners (have Cobra brakes), so that part is legal. THe installation of the Kirkey seat was pretty straight forward. I used a seat bracket from Holcomb Motorsports, which made things much easier on me. I had the raise the back of the seat bracket up 4". The Kirket seat is actually pretty damn comfy. I had to buy ANOTHER 5pt harness b/c NHRA changed the design specs. No there will not be a passenger seat...the nitrous bottle will be sitting there in a few weeks... Enjoy, even though its very dirty.

Troy, one word...........................BADAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All you had to do was put different studs on the front for those rims to work?

Yea the Bogart wheels come with a big spacer welded on and they change the backspacing around a little. The front wheels don't stick out at all, they tuck in nice. But because on the spacer (probably 1" thick), you need longer studs. I bought some ARP studs from Maximum Motorsports...took about 30mins total to install both sides. Just take the wheel off and knock out the studs and suck in the new ones...don't need to remove anything. I have enough thread coming through to be NHRA legal now.

That's a sweet Cobra man! I really like those Bogart's.

That looks awesome

mackey · May 11, 2006

WOW, how much were those if I may ask?

Redsnk95 · May 11, 2006

I think I have about $1400-$1500 in the rims.

Troy, Did you have that badboy weighed in race trim?

VibrantRedGT · May 12, 2006

That's a full blown race car now. When does it see the track?

Killercanary · May 12, 2006

Dman that looks mean. When I got my bogarts I was torn between the D10 and the RT's... your picture has me thinking I should have gone with the RT's!

Troy, can you give me some details on what all it took to fit a 28" high tire out back? What BS on the wheels? Are the fenders rolled? Do you still have the quad shocks? I plan to run a set on my car once my project is completed.

That thing's a beast! You should post a vid once you get 'er running, I'd love to hear what it sounds like

I dont think you could get a 28 x 10.5 in there w/ the quad shocks.
Im not sure if you want them on your Bogarts or another wheel. Either way, mine are on the 15 x 8 ARE 767 wheels w/ 4.75 b.s. and they fit fine.

Redsnk95 · May 12, 2006

Thanks for all the compliments. No I haven't weighed it yet...that will happen when I scale the car in a few weeks. It still will be heavy but will definitely be lighter than the 3575lbs it was at before.

Paul it didn't take much to get these rims/tires to fit. The wheel is a 15x10 w/ 6" of backspacing. I didn't have to touch the fender lip, just had to massage some of the inner fender. I was actually surprised how little it took. I have rear coilovers and no quad shock if that makes any difference. I plan to lower the the rear a tad bit more to help move the IC to a better spot.

where did you get those switches that are dangling under your radio? Nice setup by the way.

95cobraguy · May 16, 2006

complete race car, very rowdy.

ohhh la la!!

You think you could have gotten the 28 x 12.5 ET Street tires to fit? I have the 10" pro stars with the same backspacing as you.

I recently bought my rear coil over kit from YPSinc and they said i should be able to fit them in... Im very skeptical. With the new rear end i should have a whopping whole 1/8" extra on both sides to help clear the coil overs and misc far as the insides go anyway.

Bad ass car Troy. Good luck on the track. BTW, what tone of red is your car?
