[VIC] Daily VY S2 SS Man UTE build...

[SS-REX]

Fair enough for not going with an OTR i always get asked why i have a V8 Ute and no boat to tow. It would be nice to say i have a race car to tow or race Ute . How is the Honda going seen any track time recently?.

^^^^yeh, I get some **** bout driving a SS from some, but then again they drive bombs...lol

civic saw calder last night...
went out for the first time on MT slicks (24.5x8x15) was scary with them on the front...lol
I wanted to practice launching and get the 60ft right so I pulled some boost out and did 8psi passes

managed a 12.84 @ 110mph with a 1.94 60ft
pretty happy considering my best 60ft b4 last night was a 2.13

more boost to come this week and hoping to b back out at calder next sunday

Decent time then, another one on the wheels, was it much work to get 9.5's under the guards or just a decent roll? Thats the size I want under mine some day.

Get some heat into them haha 12.8 nice i remember when 13's were a big achievement (New Zealand) with the old vtecs yonks ago. Guess boost sorted that out you got to start a thread on your track beast up too.

9.5 with +35 offset is prob the most I would go on the front and it was a decent roll, if I had rolled anymore, it would almost hump in the centre of the arch n look ugly...
I also wanted to run min same width as OEM tyre, no point going smaller in my opinion
so it has a 235/40 which is slightly stretched...
the rears I should of gone 10.5wide, as the 9.5 with +35 offset only needed a tiny roll...
I am running -1 degrees in the front cambers
and -2degrees in rear cambers

didn't need heat, needed more boost/power as it would bog so hard, I almost stalled it on 1 run...lol

I was launching at 6500rpm on the 2step towards the end of the night...

I have build threads on other forums...
didn't think a commo forum would b interested in my "ricer" LOL

Hmmm, I was thinking of just running 8 or 8.5 fronts and just going for big rears. My guards are already rolled so if 10.5 is achievable, even better.
Post up a thread on the Civic man, if its done nicely like the ute has been you'll get a good response.
