The insurance company is YORK something, another good one is PILOT and if Wawanesa, they were all the cheapest and would allow 2 minor tickets, so If any of you guys are paying too much call one of these 3 companies!! You'll have to go through a broker tho.

some of you guys got the DH pulley, and I think APR is going to get the DH TB...you guys will get into 15s in no time...

I hope I can still maintain 15.9...
depends on the weather....cool and dry...and good launch...and quick shift...and go striaght...and need to grip too......I guess I don't have money for new summer tires...I'm going to put the stock firestone back on after winter...

Yup. May get throttle body from DH too. 4mm bore over stock. Will work wonders with the AEM V2. Quick question: For $520 would you guys buy Neuspeed Race springs (2.25 fr and 2.0) and Koni adjustables (i'd sell the Neuspeed springs for like 150), or for 720 get 6 month old Skunk 2 coilovers and Koni adjustables? Will my ride suck with the coilovers? I know Falcon has them. Where is he? Either way i'm getting Konis that are ready to be installed on my car. Have the OEM parts off our struts so they fit so no custom work required. Stick with my Neuspeed Sports i have now, or go with the coilovers? Will the coilovers seize up in the winter? NEED opinions.

OK just curious, If im gonna go to the sparta track in spring, like at the start of the season would I be better off runnin my heavy *** 17's and kumho712's or my stock wheels with snow tires(goodyear ultra grip ice) Might be a stupid question but I know the 17's are slowing me down and Im not sure of the traction for racing on winter tires.

btw Cant put on stock tires casue I sold em

I wouldn't use the snows just cuz snow tires are really soft and you'll wear them out in no time. Use the Kumho's. Oh, shitty news about Sparta. I guess they won't be doing 1/4 mile this year. The track didn't pass inspection or something like that so we can only do 1/8 mile!! Sucks ***!!! Guess i'll be going to Grand Bend Motorplex if this is true!!

No No No, I hope you're wrong about sparta!!! That's fugging BS. What's there to inspect? I don't see why they wouldn't remedy the problem for the amount of business they would lose.

ya dont know if sparta is true or if its just a misunderstanding....they'd loose 80% of business. i'd think they'd wanna keep it 1/4 even if it meant a few thousand or even 10 thousand....ah well..just means we'll do grand bend instead of sparta....gunna be crazy number of cars...so it should be good.

good questions man...

you can have a ride through the parking lot next time we're at a meet (tonight maybe?) to check out the ride quality (they make for a bumpy ride, but are damn stiff in cornering)

the coils might seize if you dont spin them up and down occasionally (or so i've heard)... but i havent done that this winter... i'm going to give it a shot this spring and if it doesnt work its ok cause i'm happy with the drop anyway

btw, i was doing some reading and going with those neuspeed race springs will give you a ride thats almost as bad as coils

So i was talkin to a bud about Sparta and he says that there is no way its gunna be a 1/8 mile this year. His bud was talkin to the owners son and laughed at the idea...something like "we'd loose 80% of our business". The family is loaded...if it came down to it i know they'd just repair the track. But from what i heard the only problem was that they didnt pay insurance last year...so they have to pay 2 years worth or close down...but like i said they're loaded. I'd bet it'll be a 1/4 still
