Carbon Driven Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Well almost is almost lol. Heres the video from the next day after tuning when I took it to the drag track for my first time back in about 4 years. Concentrated on not burning out at the line so only had a 0.6xx and a 0.8xx reaction times and ran only twice. Borrowing a fire jacket cut our runs down by 1/2. 2nd gear burnout! At the very end of the video you can see HEADLIGHTS come on!!! Some fool TURNED AROUND at the last exit instead of going to the end and exiting!!!

Carbon Driven Posted December 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Probably MT ET Streets. Dont have any way to swap the wheels at the track (people will cut any chained to the light poles ) so for now Im going with the drag radial and swap them on at home for the 14 mile drive to the track Slicks should be my next set after these are worn out.

Carbon Driven Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Received my new low profile filter for the sc. Should be good to drive on the streets but never the rain lol. The screen is good for track only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon Driven Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Took all of 1 minute (thats about all I have free lately, how sad lol) but the Cobra got washed and filter installed. Took it around a couple blocks to keep the battery healthy. Still need to get the rear tires and then its off to the track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon Driven Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Well looks like fitting the 15" racestars on my IRS is absolutely not possible. Even with a low profile brake caliper banjo bolt n line I will have to grind off too much lca material for it to be safe when launching at the track. Guess if it wasnt tracked it could work but then whats the point of race wheels lol Soooo I will be going SRA for the track and retaining my IRS for possible future use.

Carbon Driven Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Rear tires mounted. Now waiting for @1SlammedGT to give me his SRA Oh and received my ID1000's this week too. Got a great deal on a lightly used set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Is Junior doing an IRS swap? That sucks about the wheels not fitting with the IRS. It's a really nice setup but it definitely comes with a few disadvantages. I feel like I've seen 15's on the rear of an IRS car before, maybe Racestars just aren't as spacious inside?

01yellercobra Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 You can 15's if you grind the tie rod mount like the picture. I wasn't comfortable with that either. So I ran 16" rims for the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea and I think the racestars are the smallest interior barrel 15" out there. Weld RTs I hear fit a bit better but much more costly of a rim too.

Carbon Driven Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Im thinking too that I could just buy another rear set of 17" racestars but then I will need tires again. Sell my 15's could pay for most of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
