congrats on the perfect distribution and a gorgeous car.

 

What are you talking about? Did you not read that he set FTD in the wet? Or that he drove to the track back and forth in the rain?

Limited traction as compared to what? A FWD GTP? An AWD EVO with really good wet tires? What are you comparing it to?

Compare apples with apples. No RWD car that makes good power (without traction control) will have grip in the rain. Do you think a TT Non Seq rotary has good traction in the rain? You want wet traction...buy a heavy 4WD SUV.

What kind of comment was that anyway("traction in the wet")? You must work for Car and Driver.

 

wow very very nice man dam near perfect! looks great too! now make me one

 

very sweet.

 

I find you passive-agressive and condescending.

 

she sho is purdy. congrats.

 

I like it! one of the best fd's i have seen in a long time!

Oh and don't bother the newbs...some people just cant appreciate a clean car!

 

Amazing car. Nice work!

 

What is your point? If you don't floor the throttle on every application you can drive as well as a 12a stock can in the wet, only difference here is the option to accelerate........wildly

Putting a high powered engine in her doesn't affect traction, throttle control, tires and suspension do that

 

Sorry, you cant compare it to a stock 12A either. My FB has this amazing tendency to want to hang the tail end out on wet roads.... Of course, I can't accelerate wildly.... YET!!!!

Badass ride. Keeps giving me ideas for my FD. Too bad I blew my wad on a supercharged C5. Going to have to wait till next year.

 

Wonderful.

Nate- have you taken her to a road-course like Laguna ? If so, how does she handle ?

Not surprising when you have a contact patch the size of postage stamp and tires that are probably several years old. What's the UTQG on those badboys... 400B?

 

Hey, you have your contact patch, and I have my.... well maybe contact "patch" isn't quite the right description... maybe more like contact "point".....

Actually, the tires a several "months" old, though the ones that were on there were more scary than fun in the rain. They had plenty of tread, but just weren't plyable anymore.

I have recently seen an FB with 5lug conversion with 2nd gen vert BBS wheels on it that really looked nice..

Anyways, when and if I ever get the swap done, the contact "point" should grow up a little.

I was thinking more along the lines of pizza cutters.

 

Cheers!

Sorry for the late reply , I don't get much time on here.

The car is just barely running and things have been busy... I'll definitely post some video when I finally do make it to the track though!

Oh yeah...

FYI-

I posted this thread in the 3rd Gen section and the mods moved it here.

CHEESE!

 

Beautiful car man. Looks great!!!

 

Why not, its a RWD vehicle with two rear tires which are limited by the tire grip, sounds similar except for the afore mentioned power difference.

 

By limited traction I'm sure he's talking about the rear two wheels...and that is a problem most people would welcome...including me.
