FWD drag cars run wider wheels on the front than they do the rears.....

 

I think you're opening yourself up for a whole lot of potential handling issues with what you're planning.

Yea I know this, I have a b20vtec civic that does 13.7

What kind of issues would it cause?

[evo-gsr]

Obviously they arent suited to these cars if they hit on trailing arms and stick out.. Pretty sure it will cause problems with gearbox / transfer case from what I know...they all need to be same width on AWD.

[Miniman_alis]

It would be about keeping the rolling diameter the same front to rear, yes? I'll see if I can swap the 9 inch barrels for 8s.
Either way they look pretty sick

I got some evo 7 recaro seats a while ago and tonight I managed to get the drivers side one in and mounted.



I used what I believe to be evo 7 rails and rear mounts, I used the evo 7 front left mount on the right after being modified a little bit and used the left mount off the gsr rail. It seems to sit fairly low but I can't see out the windscreen at the moment cause I've got a cover and heap of stuff on it.

Okay so I still haven't gotten my engine internals which really bloody annoys me.
so would anyone have a good short block or know of anywhere where I could get some evo 9 pistons and rods and a crank for my 4g63

[jack be nimble]

Hey guys, long time wait but I got distracted by my love of hondas haha.

I got the haltech ps1000 mounted up in the stock position with a piece of ally plate and loom all made up by me


got the motec cdi unit, relays, fuse box and battery stud mounted up under the center console with another piece of ally all bent up and drilled to fit in nicely
