Default ET street video

took the new wheels/tires out tonight. They hook so much better, really plants you in the seat! here's a quick video of the first launch, not trying real hard, about 3/4 throttle. Can't wait to really let them rip

BMR rear springs, stock shocks. so far they only rub going over inclines, but i'm afraid to launch hard and catch the fender. i think i'll have to go to the 265/40/18. Don't like the decrease in diameter, it's gonna make this thing rev even faster. on the bright side, i can't get these things to even spin in first gear now without dumping the clutch. Maybe it won't be that bad with a smaller tire. Anyone want to buy some ET streets?!?

what size are you running

I have a set of 265/40 BFGs on my car and a set of MTs waiting for when the BFG are gone. it'll make your effective gear about a 4.24 with the 265/40
