new parts to add to the pile (teaser pic)

an addition to my 11 second NA ecsb quest that is truely daily drivable i have:


i had the deminsions and tools to make my own but theres now way i woulda matched the quality of the real deal.

also got my ARP flex plate bolts in. arp converter bolts will be here in the next few days. i sheered off the converter bolts once again so im throwing in the arp bolts to finish off the tranny combo (hopefully for good)

the pinion angle will be set to -2* at the initial setting for caltracks and i should be able to adjust it to -3* or possibly 4* by cranking up the preload on the traction bars.

a few little computer tweaks from my buddy charlie wheatley and i should have me a 11 second ecsb truck with a factory sized engine that pulls trailers and cruises to work when necessary. if it doesnt a fast 92/92 setup will definately get me there. then ill install my nitrous express 200 shot and try and blow it up

my new delimma is...mickey et drag 305/45-18 or nitto 555r 305/45-18's. the mt et drags should last about 5,000 miles for about 3 bills per tire and the 555r about 12,000 miles for about 220 per tire. the et drags will definately hook but 5,000 miles to a pair is harsh!

good luck stew on the 11's i see it happening !!!!!

damnnn son! I think u will be better off with MT than nitto even if they are slightly more expensive and less miles..

If you dont DD the truck anymore get the MTs if you do DD it then get the nittos, 5K goes by quick, I got my truck the end of january and its not even my DD and Ive already put 4K on it.

yeah i decided on the 555r's. it only gets driven on weekends and to and from the track now days....but if the grocery getter civic breaks for whatever reason the truck will be inspected and ready to go back into full duty service.

its actually down right now with sheered off converter bolts. just picked up a flexplate and arp flexplate bolts. arp converter bolts will be here by the end of the week and hopefully the truck will be back up next saturday. im going to nascar this sat

OHHHH those are gonna be your DD tires or just track tires? I thought you were looking for like some slicks or something JUST for the track..
