get the wheels off of a FD or MX-5.
they are the lightest production rim that i've found that are still durable.

Put your stockies back on, take anything unnecessary out, and do it again. I can guarantee at least a half second improvement
well i would say that guarantee was just about right on track! i went to the track tonight and.....alright well i tried to post the slip but it wouldn't work so i will post the numbers and see what i can do about the slip.

I had another 9.5.. but that one above was the fastest. I also ran a 9.6 2X and one 9.7. A total of 5X.
i am very satisfied with these numbers...and oh yah list of mods...Intake with heat sheild.

I can't wait to see the times with a 3L or something like that(traction ???). I really like the fact i got this time on a proven [censored] track and with no SVT parts...
PS. Did i mention it was fun!

you think it would be high 14's? i am not sure if i could get high 14's without having the SVT stuff to help me on down the track(1/4 mile that is).
