Wheelie
 

Hey Guys, anybody know of how to make a notch stand up or if it can truly be done? I havent seen a street car carry the front tires? I seen twisting and such...but a good foot or two off the ground? I was thinking incorrect pinion angle and four link set up should do it.....but? Any thoughts.....I have Eibach drag launch springs and lakewood struts on one of my cars and it feels like car is lifting...got lots of weight transfer but thats not what I'm talkin bout....lol..... oh yeah 5 speed car.....thanks

RE: Wheelie
 

lotsssaaaa horsepower and torqueeeee:D

RE: Wheelie
 

waht are you talkin about? on the track? why would you purposely want to wheelie?

RE: Wheelie
 

cause its the coolest f*cking thing in the world....



but yeah, you lose precious time off your e/t when you do it at the track...and its hella dangerous to do on the streets

and yeah, lots of torque should get you there...some 4:56s

RE: Wheelie
 

Thats right cuz its the coolest F-ing thing in the world...not at the track....thats a given...I'm talkin bot a street set-up that can actually do it? Torque and Horsepower granted...but can it "really" be done....carry the wheels across an intersection.....

RE: Wheelie
 

do you mean like is it physically possible? hell yeah, i've seen it done quite a few times..

RE: Wheelie
 

Really? With like what set up? Did it really "carry" or just come off the ground a few inches...I seen that a few times....but I'm talkin 2 ft...all the way up to draggin bumper...just wondering if its possible....lol

RE: Wheelie
 

the best one i saw was a 69 Chevelle...puttin out a solid 620 to the wheels N/A...it had them a solid 8-10 inhces off the ground, and carried it for a good 300 feet. it was amazing..

i've seen a few others lift them 4-6 inches and carry it...

RE: Wheelie
 

right...you want to do this on public roads through an intersection, i see in your future a post saying "so i just got my license suspended", do that sh!t somewhere else, not on a public road. Your the type of guy who drives his new car over a median and into stopped traffic lol. Anyone else see that video?

If you want to do that kinda stuff, find a different place to do it, because your bound to have the cops called on you if done on the street.

RE: Wheelie
 

Gonna need some sticky tires too. U cant do wheelies spinning...

Tons of torque and some relatively steep gears

Lighten up the front end with tubular K, aluminum goodies, battery relocate, etc.



If you ever do, make sure u dont cut the wheels coming back down...People ruin nice cars because they come back down and put it into a wall.

RE: Wheelie
 

Yeah maybe some MT street slicks....? I just havent seen/heard it being done....was wondering if somebody had a "street" car capable of doing it.....would be so cool to have that capability added little twist talk about cool....screw standing wheelies on street bikes thats 5 years ago....ha

RE: Wheelie
 

I've never seen a car hook that good on the street and actually have enough power to lift the front up. Honestly, I don't believe it, althoughI have seen videos of porsches hitting boost across an uneven intersection and it lifts the front wheelsup a few inches, but they're rear engined cars, they don'tcount.:D

Now my dad's street driven camaro used to drag the back bumper on the track, but on the street traction was a joke.

RE: Wheelie
 

The car at the start of this video and the 3rd race is my supervisor and the class he races he has to run on Bfgoodrich tires that are DOT. He does not drive it on the streets, but I think getting the grip to stand the wheels would be the main problem on the streets.

RE: Wheelie
 

This thread is pointless and unrealistic. Yea anything is possible with the rite amount of money. If your soul purpose is to ride a wheelie and you have the money that transfer the engine to the back of your car I suppose...

RE: Wheelie
 

Don't you understand that lifting the front tires acually slows you down?

RE: Wheelie
 

And when you do come down think about the chit that you could mess up... not worth it, IMO. But hey it is cool to watch someone else do it.

RE: Wheelie
 

check out these wheelies from mustangs

RE: Wheelie
 

We have a local crew on the mustang forum that prides themselves on 'street wheelies'.
The best of which seems to be the Malibu everytime. I'm hoping my fox will be in the mix this coming spring.

http://home.comcast.net/~5-door/Movie.wmvThis was shot on a well prepped street behind the shop. At the time, he used people in the back. But lately, he's been getting more air without. These pics where taken at a wheelie competition.

RE: Wheelie
 

See this is what I'm talkin about....though this things got some weight in the back being a wagon....its just cool that it can carry on the street....I LOVE IT....now to get my notch to do the same??? Maybe needs to be AT with a transbrake instead of 5 speed?

RE: Wheelie
 

what id like to see is a front wheel car do a wheelie in reverse

Now that would take some ****in torque

RE: Wheelie
 

I'd give up on this dream of yours, it's extremely unrealistic to try to build a car that would do it on the street. Traction doesn't happen on the street, I've been in a GSX that was stock except exhaust, and he didn't get traction launching... GSX means AWD just incase you aren't familiar with imports.

RE: Wheelie
 

i seen somebody post they wanted to see a car do a wheelie in reverse well about 30 seconds in to the video this guy does lol its pretty funny.

RE: Wheelie
 

haha.


"you might be a redneck if......"

RE: Wheelie
 

have everything up front as light as possible battery in the trunk.... tubular k member a-arms aluminum heads take the smog and a/c out of the car build the motor for some power get some good rear suspension components drag lite rims and some sticky tires out back i dont see why the car couldnt lift the tires for a good amount of time and im sure there are other components that could help in achieving this goal hell i would like to do one on the street not through a intersection but maybe on a side street with no one around just to be able to say i did it... good luck

RE: Wheelie
 

hahaha

RE: Wheelie
 

i thought it was pretty funny lol.

RE: Wheelie
 

My new hot rod has no problem pulling the front wheels on the street.

RE: Wheelie
 

I used to be able to pull them in my 93 GT, but it wouldn't stay up long. It's takes the right car on the right street to do it for the most part. Like I said, I'll TRY and be there this Spring after the motor swap... we'll see how I do.

RE: Wheelie
 

hahahahahaha yeah right stupid hondas

RE: Wheelie
 

+1 million. yeah it slows the car down a little bit, but the "holy sh*t, thats badass" factor far outweighs the small drop in time. if my car did wheelies you can bet your ass i'd be popping one in traffic from time to time when a camaro or honda driver gave me the stare ;)

RE: Wheelie
 

lol,you've never raced around chitown...hell,some of the streets we race at,have better prep/traction then the dragstrip. its common to see wheels up action,hell,my car does it damn near every race

if i just dump the clutch off the limiter,it picks up a wheel about 8 inches,if i spray out of the gate,usually its a wheel up 2 feet,and the other about a foot or so

RE: Wheelie
 

Haha I wonder what they did to get it to do that. That was awesome

RE: Wheelie
