Shits already for sale! At least I wait until I get my cars befor I list them for sale :P

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!

**CornFed2.4** · 03-07-2013

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

WTF is going on?

**CornFed2.4** · 03-07-2013

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.

tehehodi · 03-07-2013

Brad's already selling the spyder? LOL that was fast.

**CornFed2.4** · 03-08-2013

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.

turbotalon1g · 03-08-2013

Get QTPs in 16s so I can use them.

**CornFed2.4** · 03-08-2013

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.

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

**CornFed2.4** · 03-08-2013

Sounds like Shane chimed in to early or else I probably would. The direzzas were on the bottom of the list but I do know that they are no the worst ones out there.

I probably would buy them though if you wanna package them up with the kosei's.

As far as traction for you just tune with your 101's and rock the slicks on the street! Lol

Lol idk if I could let go of the kosei's ;-) but I would mount and balance them for you lol. Yeah i figured they aren't the best when I bought them but I figured I'm not going to get traction on the street regardless of what tire I run so I didn't want to spend too much on tires

The R-S3 may be in the same class as the Star Specs, but the DZ101 is two down two performance categories on tirerack, and only ranked middle of the pack there. Definitely nowhere near the same performance. Maybe you were thinking of the ZII?

The nt555r and TQ are both drag radials, the R-S3 is more of all around high end summer tire with stiff sidewall, popular in autocross. If this is a mostly drag car then I vote go with the drag radials.

**CornFed2.4** · 03-08-2013

I've been using this thread to determine what will work.

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/freq...tires-fit.html

So the nittos by that guide are 3.1% taller than stock and the TQ's are 4.7%. Both are colored in orange and says not recommended. Concerns? Or do I listen to the guide?

The only tire that I have found available in a recommended size is a 225/50/16 and those are all all seasons. So performance wise I've only found the QTP'S.

**asshanson** · 03-08-2013

Ah I didn't see that the nittos and toyos were not the same size. I can't find any drag radials in that size.

Since this is AWD you should be fine with the R-S3, they are a very good tire and you can have some fun in the corners with them too.

**CornFed2.4** · 03-08-2013

It's looking like either going with a high performance tire in a 225/50/16 or the QTP'S.

Is the 3% taller on the nitto 555R a bad thing though. Total height for the tire is 25.6 inches

**asshanson** · 03-08-2013

Not really a big deal, your gearing will be a little longer, and on the highway you'll be going a few mph faster than what the speedo says. Tire height is like .7" more or something, I have run tires that are 3-4% taller in the past.

**CornFed2.4** · 03-08-2013

Then ill go the nitto route since I know they will fit on my +40 offset. Much appreciated for the input.

**CornFed2.4** · 03-10-2013

Picked up a few things and ordered a few others.

Mishimoto with dual slim pullers and mishimoto overflow

My turbo is done and will be shipped out Monday here's a preview

Also on order and should be here later this week

Kiggly 6 bolt in a 2G adaptor
Kiggly front clutch pack
FP intake w/ 9" k&n

Also picking something up tomorrow to she'd a few pounds. I will post pics once its installed.

Pretty much now just waiting on delta to contact me back about cams and a few people to finish a trades with and I should hopefully have everything I need and I can start putting it all together.

turbotalon1g · 03-10-2013

Very nice, that turbo inlet is giant, 4"?
