18X11 up front and 18X13 in the rear? Holy crap. So you're going fender-less are ya?

SENZA PARI 02-24-08 09:03 PM

still looking at my options, might try the petitts in the rear, and I think the feeds up front should work with these wheels. Not positive, ill have to make them fit

Don't know what or plans are, but I would consider getting another belt on that water pump pulley. With that little contact area I am sure it will slip in the upper rpm range.

Looks good though!

SENZA PARI 02-24-08 09:28 PM

engine made 608rwhp last fall, no slipping on the water pump pulley, appreciate your concern though. The amount of engine power would have no affect on the slipping of this belt though, I dont even understand where the concern is comming from in this.

rgordon1979 02-24-08 09:32 PM

I was not referring to the amount of power the motor is making, that is irrelevant here.
As the rpm's increase, the resistance that the water pump impeller is up against increases, increasing the chances of slippage.

But you say it worked, go for it!

SENZA PARI 02-24-08 09:38 PM

redline will not be increased, so no increase in resistance will be felt. What other possible set ups might you be refering to as to change this?

rgordon1979 02-24-08 09:54 PM

Even with the stock redline I would be worried about it.

That is made by pineapple racing I believe.

interesting, I thought about 90% of the people on this forum have the same setup as I do, but I can see that this setup would work well. I originaly did buy and idler pulley, and never put it to use, have not had an issue thus far.

On drag-race setups, I've seen people replace the pulleys to allow the installation of the same type of toothed-belt used to run superchargers on funny cars. Functional and looks bad-ass too. :coolkid01

Cgotto6 04-06-08 04:30 PM

Holy shit. What size are those tires? What are you going to use the car for?

Those rear tires are humungous. What kind of seats are those?

SENZA PARI 04-06-08 04:43 PM

you know, I got the seats off of ebay like 3 years ago and had them in my supra prior to getting the 7. I am not even sure what brand they are anymore, but I absolutly love them and they were a great price, I have fabbed up different brackets to mount them in each of my cars. They only weigh 12 pounds each with the brackets on. went with 1/4 inch thick aluminum brackets.

SENZA PARI 04-06-08 04:43 PM

tires are the hooser r6's and they are mounted on the veilside andrew racing rims

Sizes? Is this going to be a track only car?

SENZA PARI 04-06-08 07:44 PM

The tires are 345x35x18 and they are on 18x13 rims, the car is going to be street/strip
