I went to the drag strip for the first time May 5th and i took a few pics. The last few pictures were taken yesterday after i washed the car and got the shoe polish off. These pictures are also the most recent ones I have of the car having Nex Coilovers. So let me know what you think.










I can post my best timeslip later, after i get it out, but it was a 10.375 in the 1/8th mile, not so great right?

It's very possible to hit low 2.2 60's with some good 205 tires and a stock car. So make that your next goal.

I had a lot of problems with wheel spin, mostly when i hit 2nd gear it doesnt want to grab. Im also not power shifting either, i think it has to do with the back suspension not squatting. I also had been consistantly hitting 2.2xx 60 foot times. This run was getting late in the evening and the 2 runs i made after my quickest pass I had much cooler air and couldnt keep the wheel spin down. I want to go back and put on a set of 14 or 15 inch wheels and some 215 or wider tires.

yea, i hit my 2.2 barely, but my rims are also 25 pounds a piece WITHOUT tires so that didnt help, and the fact my tires were bald shitty sumotumo's that were crap when they still had tread.
