Yeah, but the front tires i ran the 9.7 with were very old and mounted on backwards by mistake. I think the new tires and lightweight wheels i got contributed to the majority of it.

 

But what was your 60ft?

Whats the weight of your wheels?

 

My 60 ft was 2.304

My rims weigh 17 lbs

 

1/8 i did in 9.17 at 78.3 mph

 

9.1 is good for only a few bolt on's.
Is that your best time or do you run 9.1 all the time?
If I was knocking on the door of 8's, I would make it happen.
StreetKa make the 8's happen.

 

i think its doable... ill look for some drag tires :P i want drop 60ft below 2s it will be hard but i'll do it

 

If i did a 9.3 with no engine mods, you should be able to do alot better than 9.1 considering you have an intake, headers, and pulley.

 

Its all about launch i had better launch than you but i lost the time bc of baf mounts when i was shifting. If get better launch you could do 9.1 either. But seriously thats only numbers...

 

You only had a better launch because your car has more power.

Bad mounts don't make that much of a difference either

 

ok jacob im not gonna argue with you are right you are better driver and im worse and my car sucks because it has high milage and yours got low miles...

happy ?

 

No. Guys, stop posting bullshit.

 

i thought you said



trust me if i change mount ill shift faster i know i can but i didnt want to rip it that bad

 

 

 

i just got killed by your avatar lol reminds me of this ad

read this guys....

That ad is hysterical. And that cubanabobs AV6. He makes me want to strip my CL.

 

next time ima take of pass seat and rear seats as well. that will be 100lbs off easy

 

But then it won't count, because that's not how you normally keep your car.

That's like adding nitrous, it's a cheap win

 

Its called weight reduction and normally you dont take thr car to a drag strip. Lol

 

Next time youre at the track drive normal. I mean, launching it is kind of a cheap win. Amirite?

 

LOL @ bad mounts not factoring much. When I was running standard bolt-ons (intake, header etc), I couldn't break out of the 14's. Once I replaced the mounts I was in the 13's.

Also get rid of those Ron Jons. If you're looking for strictly a faster vehicle, get some Volks or SSR wheels, not el cheapo Pep Boy specials (not saying RJ's are cheap, but are not conducive to what you're attempting to achieve). I would probably tell you to go 17's as well as Jersey roads suck and a good set will clear a BBK, but most idiots want the OMG HELLA FLUSH Fill the Wheel well having the rubber poke out the fender look... whatever... do what you want.

 

guys, stop posting bullshit

 

I agree with you JBlue but 17s looks kinda small on cl. I found on craigslist 2 OZ superlaggera 17x7 for 100$ mint cond. But bolt pattern is 5x100 they are like15-17lbs rims. I think RJ are best bang for buck rims they look good on car and they were dirty cheap.

P.S. Thank you for your statment

 

That was funny like ten months ago! Let it go already!

Beside you're the only one doing it!

yeah go to the track and leave your traction control on to otherwise it won't count, and don't air down your tires either. You might as well de mod it also cause it won't count! Wow.

 

(soon) headers are not allowed lol

 

Anymod you are doing "soon" still yeilds you half the power though!


SOON hahahah!

 

That is your problem right there.

Too many people are caught up on aesthetics (which is solely the opinion of the viewer) and not the functionality, practicality (once again NJ metro area roads) and performance improvements (acceleration, improved braking... hell lets throw in improved gas mileage).

I sported 18's previously too... however once I went 17's I sure didn't think they looked any worse, and I still gained all the positive attributes listed above. But you can listen to many of these idiots that populate these forums who have their wheels poking out 3 inches and think it looks great. But hey, keep bending, cracking wheels if you think it's worth the headache to have 1 more inch on your wheels.

 

I would not go so far as to call them all idiots because they like a certain look. Not my taste either but it is their car and they can make it look however they want. Does not mean you have to call them an idiot. So they might be more into looks then performance. So what, whats it too you? I might say it looks like garbage and that is my right, but you don't have to insult them for it.

 

Nah... they're idiots.

 

There not idiots if they choose looks over performance. Maybe they don't like to drive fast like we do? Your statement is full of ignorance. I'm not even saying that as a diss either....

 

You catch on pretty quick bro.

 

Yeah, my "soons" are pretty much going on a year lol

I need some cash

 

i think its up to owner to decide which route they will go... performance or look either way none of them is idiot but i think there is a way to get these two ways together... light 18 wheel wont be much worse than 17 but i do agree 17 will be faster but then again someone who goes for looks he will get 19-20 inch which are way too big for my taste i think ill be fine with 18 but would not complaint to have other set light 17 or 16 very light for track use only... maybe its just me but im looking for two just two rims that will fit my needs...(cheap and light and maybe looks good)

 

I'm pretty sure my 17lb 18'' rims are an improvement from the oem 17's....

 

and 18's still have a bit of side wall left, so they still ride good (and still not have even come close to bending a rim, and i am not the most careful either , gotta still keep it practical to drive, especially when going faster)(now i did run over something the other day, and it took a chunk out of the tire's tread [cords were actually showing ], but the rim was just fine though)

 

I love my 18s. 17s look too small and 19s look too big.

I however do not like hellaflush or whatever the hell they want to call it where theres so much negative camber and the tires are 4 sizes too small. Not a fan. But if they like it, so be it.

Ill take a flush, ie - properly aligned, proper tire size, and even with the fender or a few millimeters sunken in.

 

I do like Lippstah's setups though. His flush is baller no matter how bad it may handle

 

stock 01 CL-S auto, went 15.5 @95 4 times in a row, wish it was bracket racing!

car has 152,000 miles on it and was done in 95+ degree weather

 

i used to beat up the E46 no prob...
