Car is going to be sweet when it's all done though! Let me know if you need a hand wrenching once it warms up a bit!

For sure. I'm probably pulling the ad though. Then they can focus on buying yours I'm sick of telling people I'm not sure I wanna sell it.

As far as wrenching goes. Ill definitely need a hand when I hook the BAP up. Hopefully we get nicer weather soon it's getting cramped in the garage.

Ads pulled from Craigslist. Now your can sell faster :p

Me and Brad both had have our cars on Craigslist. Lol. I put mine up before it was even at my house just to gain interest. Lol

I pulled my ad so know Brads will sell faster! Less competition.

So back on topic. I got some questions about tires. So far I've found a few that will fit my 16x7 rims.

1. 245/50/16 nitto ntt55r price $600-$650
2. 255/50/16 toyo TQ $600-$650 (might rub)
3. 225/50/16 hankook rs-3 $500
4. 225/50/16 Dunlop dz101 direzza 101 $450

What sucks is the trend is going to 17" for drag radials. So with that said for $200-$250 I can get into some Hoosier QTP's in a 225/50/16. Problem is not sure if we can run them in SA or SA/U class. So if anyone has chime in and let me know.

Trying to take into consideration weight. All above tire minus the QTP's have a weight between 24-27 lbs and the QTP's come in at 21or 22 lbs.

Another option is a good performing summer tire. In a 225/16/50. Ive looked at continental contipro extreme's and they weigh 21lbs.

So not sure what to do but obviously need to make a decision. So any input would be great or ad a tire I might have missed and ill look into it.

Picking up a mishimoto radiator w/ slim fans tomorrow, and working with Kevin from delta cams to see if HKS 280's or kelford 272's are good for me since I can't degree them as I want to run stock cam gears.

Ill be home all weekend doing stuff to the car as wife doesn't want me far from home since the daughter has surgery this morning.

Plans for the weekend are get the carpet dyed black, put interior together, clean up engine bay and start tucking some stuff. Need to delete the cruise cable box. Get all my gauges installed, clean up wheel wells (dirty), paint calipers, throw away rusted rotors.

The DZ101 offer little traction.

Get QTPs in 16s so I can use them.

I've read good things about the nittos just worried that the sidewalks may be to stiff? I put them in order of what "I" and have read would work best. I was just thinking that for a few hundred more I could get the Hoosiers. Just don't want to get classed out.

As far as the dz101. I thought a lot of the evo guys were running them over the star specs that's why they made the list.

Again not to many tires to choose from in 16".

Think I'm gonna dig up the old map rules from last yr and see what I can find.

Get QTPs in 16s so I can use them.

You's funny! But can be arranged I guess.

Awesome! These are what I put on my car last summer for street tires lol. But the Dunlops hopefully are better than the riken raptors that were on the car lol. I haven't hardly gotten to drive my car so I can't comment on how they perform

I'll sell you my dz101's for $400 lol. Maybe 300 miles on them max. They are 225/50/16
