I'm on at odd times...I'll edit my post above soon. I LOL'ed at the contact ryan part though. I like how the car is coming along too, FAT tires! No rubbing issues at all? I gotta clean out my interior to look like yours...You gonna hit the track soon?

No rubbing whatsoever, and if I do have some rubbing, I'll just 86 the 3mm spacers I have up front to get more clearance :)

Car needs a slight retune for safety's sake, and it'll be ready to tear it up at the tracks!

A few more, need to find a replacement triangle for the dash haha. Damn I missed driving it!

so what wheels are those in the rear? not sure if i missed it

hey did your buddy ever come around to making more of those big brake upgrades that you have on your car?

Wheels in the rear are MB Competitions

My buddy is still away on a work assignment, I don't know what his plans are for releasing the brakes as of now

Graduated with my degree in Mechanical Engineering, finally.

Big things to come as soon as I finish paying off some debts, feels good to be working now!

Car's waiting for a tune; I'm trying to chase down a supra fuel pump, plus I mysteriously misplaced my microtech laptop adapter... can't find it for the life of me - stupid 95 dollar piece of plastic.

there is a guy on the evil forum that has a supra fuel pump for sale

Got one on the way :)

Car's tuned :) Ahh I missed power, the jeep was so damn slow :(

Tires
New brackets for the corbeau buckets
Corner Balance and Alignment
Charge up the A/C
A front lip

Looking good Johnson, Couple of questions for ya though

What size wheels/tires are you running F&R that you were able to squeek a 255/275?

What's she making for power?

Did you buy that supra pump used or new? and if new, from where? I need a new one too...

And easy on the Jeep/slow comments... yesterday I showed someone up who was driving an X3 like a douchebag.... I enjoyed that small victory for the mighty 4.0L

I ran a 17x9 +24 (A popular mustang offset) for a good while, but after the accident I ended up with 2 bent wheels.

I purchased a set of 4 17x9 +17's as a temporary replacement until I can find either new wheels or fix the old ones I had. I'm currently running 275's in the rear on a pair of 17x9 +17. I am still running the 17x9 +24 in the front with 255's along with a 5mm spacer.

I've got some things to take care of before I get new tires, but eventually I'll have the 17x9 +17 on all corners, with 255 nitto nt-05's.

As for fender modifications to use the 17x9 +17, I had to roll and flare all corners a good bit - I even messed up a little on the driver's front fender. That steel is so thin.

I haven't put the car on the dyno, so power is still unknown, but the last motor I had put out 230whp and 210tq at 10psi, with a pretty flat torque curve. I think my current tune and new motor is much better this time around. It's nothing impressive to talk about though haha.

I purchased the Denso pump from www.titanmotorsports.com $190 shipped brand new - everyone else was backordered, but they came through for me and had it shipped to my door before my tune. The pump went in flawlessly - perfect fit. I'm used to the walbro's whine, so I thought I wired the pump wrong when I turned the key, haha.

I learn how to drive better by driving the Jeep :). Gotta be smooth when going through turns with no swaybars. My brother is going to use it for a while since his 10th AE got stolen a few months ago, I just have to do some maintenance and repairs on it before I hand it off. Best thing I ever purchased for 600 bucks.

Cool, thanks man. I've got a set of 17x8 and 17x9 Works, +35 on both with 235 & 255/40/17. The D1SS that I'm running seem to be narrow, It looks like I could have gone to a 255 & 275/40/17. What do you think on fitment for those wheels on those tires?

I broke the rear sway bar link in my XJ a while back and just pulled the whole bar. not exactely a noticable difference with the front still in so yeah, I bet you're driving that thing a little slower than I haul around in my XJ. Shit, i had some asswipe in a audi A4 tailgating the snot out of me one night on a road that I could drive blindfolded. I was pulling away from him until I got picked up on radar doing 57 in a 25 :smilielol5:

I'll take a look at titanmotorsports, thanks for that link. Gotta make a decision tomorrow and MAYBE get the fucker up and going for a trip to KDR on Thurs, I'd love to drive it at least once :rofl:

I've never run that setup in the front, so I can't say anything much about it. If you look at my rear tire the corners of the tread sort of bow up. I would expect that area of the tread to be fairly cool compared to the rest of the contact areas. That would also mean I'm not using the whole tread effectively.

I can give you real answers on the 275 + 9" wheel fitment the next time I take it out to the autocross and measure temperatures at multiple points across the tread width. From that you can probably derive an answer for going from a 235 to a 255 on an 8" wheel.

Nice, thanks Johnson, I appreciate it.

So thosd 17x9 in the rear are a +17 you said? What are the chances of getting a 17x9 +35 with a 275 in the rear? What's the clearances like? It looks like there's a decent roll/pull on the rear of your car
