Cut fenders and put a real tire on it then. My buddy has a 500 whp Civic and barely spins from a 40 roll.

It's a street/DD car i'm not cutting fenders or putting slicks on it and it's only gonna see the track a few times. Besides the 615k's seem to grip better than the DR's

615K's will never grip better then same sized drag radial, period. And who said anything about slicks and the track?

I said they seem to grip more or dam close...I haven't had a warm/hot day to really test them but the car spun about the same with both. This week i'm gonna try both and see how they hold up and i'm sure with lower tire pressure with the DR's they will grip better but I'll take the stiffer side wall and handling any day.. Not everyone goes out every night to race and nut hug. My car gets me to work and back and a occasional meet but i added some extra power to make it fun.

Oh and i'm sorry i forgot slicks are street legal and everyone should drive around on them

Correct slicks are not street legal. You're pretty stupid if you drive on streets with slicks, although they do hook the best. I still don't see why you brought slicks into the conversation.

And DR's do hook a lot better at lower pressure. Most DR guys run around 15-20 on the streets.

Hell the only reason this conversation got here is because you think you need 80 rolls to get traction.

The last time i seen that civic it had slicks on it.. And this conversation started because you jumped on my post that i need a real tire and to cut fenders and clearly after my post i put joke I was making fun of majority of cobalt owners that only do high rolls and i already told a few of the F-body guys i would race from a dig cause i don't care if i lose.

He just recently made 460 whp at 6k. Has another issue now that he's working out.

And to Jay, the Civic rocks slicks at the track only. DR's for the street, let me grab a pic.



As you can see it's not a slick.

I was going of what you said to me that night at mighty when he raced that subaru i never felt the need to inspect it. That's not the look i want either and very happy with the setup i have now except the shitty coilovers that need to be replaced.

Welcome. HKS isn't my first choice for BOV's. And didn't all SS/TC's come with an LSD, even if it wasn't listed?

I think thats a myth cause people have posted not having it on the build tag but who knows they could still be in there. I think all 2010 came with it standard but they charged $500 for all other years.. And that would be some bullshit if people paid for it and all others came with it no charge.

Your car has to have a tune on it already or it wouldn't be running right with the bov.. What does the boost go up to at WOT? Anything over 15 it would have a tune.

I would really recommend a tune or have me or maybe venom713 data log your car cause i bet your FT are way out of whack. Just the dejon intake will put it at 10-14 off on the FT and i never had a BOV but i know you have to tune for them. Maybe the person that owned it before tuned it but put it back th stock boost IDK.. Has it had any CEL's? But the tune should be your first mod best bang for the buck.
