So i'm due for a new pair of slicks. I previously was running M/T 24.5x8x13 on lensos. My integra is full weight, AC/PS/ABS, seats, you name it. I haven't weighed it but judging on my times i'm thinking it has to be close to 2650 w/o driver with 5gal fuel. I usually cut low 1.7 or sometimes high 1.6 60's. I'm also getting some wheel spin when shifting into 2nd gear.

I'm trying to decide between M&H 24.5x8.5x13 or M/T 24.5x9x13. Does it really matter that much? Would the 9" wide slick be to much for 500whp?

You previously ran 11.2@129 ??? Nice time for a full weight car. I would go with the 9" its not too wide at all. Now Post a vid

you better hurry! The race is Sunday! lol

I just got some lightly used 24.5x9x13 M/T's but this Friday will be my first time trying them out. I had the 24.5x8.5x13 M&H's. The M/T's are a good bit bigger side by side and feel quite softer also.

Yea Blake it's not looking good. I can get the tires localy no problem. I've been using a loaned set of lensos but they got sold a while back. I can't get a set from cali in time w/o paying crazy shipping fees.

If I can find a set of wheels in town to borrow i'm in. Otherwise I'll just be there spectating/wrenching.

Have you ever weighed your car? I remember it looked pretty trim last event we were at.

How much power are you making?? Seems to be flying at that weight! Good job! Keep up the good work! And yes, VIDEOS!!!

Blake8418 · 05-27-2009, 12:23 PM

I weighed my car at a local truck stop and it said 2440 w/o me. Not sure how accurate it is. I have no back bumper support, no air bags, no a/c , no p/s and thats about all im missing. Hope you can find something in time. Id like to see you out there.
And "ek B20 vtec", Your car looks great man. It looks very similar to mine but the color is a little lighter/more orange.

536whp/400tq on a gt3076r -- 30r is out of breath on kill. Boost spikes to 28-29psi around 5800, by 9k it's down to 24psi. That's why it made so much tq.

I know this car has a 10sec pass in it. Heck i've seen 450whp full weight coupes break into 10s before... As many passes as i've made, not running 10s has been very frustrating

I've got some video's floating around on youtube. I'll post a link later, work blocks streetfire and youtube.
