...is your car going to be a drag car?

 

not full blown.. just 1/8 mile runs....

 

after my winter mods.. of coarse....

 

i'm confused.... why not make it a drag car? Whats the difference between making a non-drag car look it, and making a kia gia look fast? everyone is alwasy bashin rice, then they do the same stuff....

Dude, if you want the raked look, ok, cool (I like it anyways)
But if you just want your car to look like it means business, i suggest you make it actually mean business as well. Do some research and learn when you need to to to hook up and launch well, and to go fast. The last thing i wanna see is a tubbed hotroded 3rd gen that pulls 2.3 sec 60' with 10 sec 1/8 mile runs. 3rd gens aready have a bad rep of being slow - dont make it worse!!

 

Exactly.. don't just make it look like a drag car unless you can back it up

 

he didnt ask for opinions, he asked for pictures. heres my favorite.

edit: well it says its too big to attatch.

 

sorry ..i made myself kida unclear..................i meant i'm not making it a drag car as in ..gutting it out .....and tubbing...

it's going to rung the 1/8 about 12 times a year...

good points though.........................

made me do some thinking


rob

i appreciate it

 

To help you.

I think the biggest tire you can fit under a thirdgen w/o tubbing is a 26 x 10.5 x 15 slick. I might be wrong though. A little searching goes a long way. If all you want to do is blast the 1/8 then put some super deep gears in there to go with your slicks. Some 5.14s or 4.60s will run less than $500 after install.
