Are you on stock height/suspension? Pls post up pics if possible when you get the tires mounted and fitted....BTW...where did you order/purchase your Weld Rim from???

I contacted TCE brakes about a wilwood adapter and it's not possible as a bolt on affair. So oem brakes it is.

Digging up this old thread for reading. Good stuff in here.

Phunk is dead on. When my car hooks it is fun as hell. Spinning is not much fun. When JCHammond got out of my car he was feeling his face with all of his fingers. LMAO, He felt it pull so hard it messed with his face. Instant wrinkle removal facial. I was supposed to go down and give my best friend a ride tomorrow. It's just too cold. He won't get the full experience so I am not going.

Will 17in Weld wheels fit with the Akebono rear brakes?

Got it figured out, nevermind.

Man I just watched Adam LZ blow another motor.. That's not what got me. He did a 1.58 60ft on 18" radials. Prior to that he hit 11.7 at 126 rolling out of the box.
I'm off the fence. Earlier I ordered a set of 17" Welds. I'm definitely running a 10 second 1/4 in 2020. I dont care if it's a 10.9 I'm running 10s.
Wheels ship in January so I'll most likely hit it in February and hopefully make another run at the half mile with traction control off this time.

What's your current setup, wheels and forced induction setup and hp?

15 nismo, HKS Hipermax SP coils, Z1 Diff Bushings, Subframe bushings, Wavetrac. Rays 19" 57CRs, 285f ,305 R888R.
Boosted Performance single with 6870. S1SE fuel system, 1300 ID Injectors, 340 in tank twin 450s in Radium Surge.
IPP Stage two 10:1 compression, JWT S2 cams, Zspeed 6 puck stage 4. Flex tuned by Seb.
WHP is questionable now since the last dyno was done with a boost leak and a crack in the manifold flex bellow. Made 710rwhp and 623ftlbs @ 18psi. Current High boost map is 21psi with a 23psi boost cut. I have not a single doubt the car has 10 seconds in it.

My wheel money went to a new washer and dryer. Who is Adam LZ???? Another one of your fruity Floridian's?

Naah, I think you're good,

cossie1600 · 12-23-2019, 11:12 PM

If anyone is in need for a set of 18" racing wheels, let me know. I have 2 sets available!

SG4247 · 12-24-2019, 02:27 AM

Brand, width and offset would be helpful!

cossie1600 · 12-24-2019, 12:49 PM

TSW Nurburgring 18x9.5 and 18x10.5. How does $600 sound for the whole set with some old slicks on it, come pick it up.

solidus · 06-08-2020, 03:23 PM

I'm on HKS coils and will likely raise the car to stock height for my quarter mile attempts. I also got my wheels from Jegs. Pro tip: Be prepared to wait. I waited 3+ months for mine.

Also I'm not focused on a super setup I'm just looking for a 10.xx run. If I went out and ran a 10.8 on my first run I'm done. My next focus will be sorting the suspension for occasional track days and slapping on the Welds from time to time for roll races and 1/2 mile events.
