coltboostin Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Here is the promised High Boost pull video. This was taken on bone dry pavement, with brand new Kumho 712’s, BOTH spinning because of my locked welded diff. There is little more I can do to get traction on the street besides Run slicks 24/7. http://thelotspot.com/videos/highboost.wmv Right click and save as, the video will probably only be up for a few days, so if someone can rehost that would be mint. Nothing like laying 2 patches at 100mph I guess. In case you don’t know.. 93 Dodge Colt Stock4g63t,Stock head, Stock cams. 60-1@26psi-made441whp 414ft lbs Car weighs 2020lbs without me in it.

Dr. Pomade Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Just saw it in the Pics and Vids section. No traction = no friction = rapidly climbing speedometer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is little more I can do to get traction on the street besides Run slicks 24/7.A little bit better tires would help. I haven't heard great things about the 712's, this is from an Autocross/Roadrace point of view though. They get greasy once they are warm. I would assume the same thing happens only quicker in your car. A lot of the traction deficient straight line guys around here seem to like the Nitto NT555R's.

Tulo Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Alot of the high HP Honda guys run BFG Drag Radials. They're awesome when it's dry out but not so good in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Originally posted by JEEENKINNNS: he shifted and the speedo stayed so I don't think traction issues made a huge difference.. fast fucking car. Its a problem in the lower gears b/c the spin is so bad, I have to guess when to shift out of gear, and I often end up in 2nd or 3rd too low and fall out of boost. Even though it is spinning tire, it still is accelerating pretty hard. They are 205/45/17's. Drag radials are way out of the budget right now. I am 160lbs-ex wrestler build. Thinking about yanking the dash to get it under a Ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 why don't you go to a smaller wheel and If you did the swap I am sure you can figure out how to fit fater meets under it. Hell my car try to spin on 205's and I haven't moded it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have these Kumho's because I got them slightly used for 50$ for the pair. 1000miles on them, litertally. What do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats pretty sad that you would try so hard to make it unbelievable. Tell you what, throw your pig on jack stands, try to duplicate it so I can laugh when your car tourqes itslef off the stands and you break your driveline while you go shooting through the garage and hopefully ace your dumb self. There are many videos of the car, even on this forum. Find them yourself. buckeye-Oh god. 8 valve junk. The car is 4x100, honda bolt pattern. Not the same JP, I have never owned an NA talon.

Hater? Grow up. Pig of a vehicle? Learn what you're talking about and who you're talking to. BTW, learn what smileys mean when used on message forums, they might prevent you from looking like an ass.

Yes, same car. 93-95 Body style. Vinny-IF yuor intentions were not harmful, I apologise, my internet vagina is sandy and I am used to people questioning everything about the fucking car. And I do call everyone's car pigs, even my own. Stig-Even though it is spinning, it is obviously still accelerating. As for fast, I donno, I pulled a car on a Built 5.0 wiht a huffer.-Went 10.6@131mph. I think that is moving OK. Jellowman- You dont have 4 lug on the shadow? 8 valve heads flow as good as my ass when constipated! Put a 420a head on the pig, you will love yourself for it.
