Nitto 555R vs MT ET Street Radial? -- The Tire Train

**djvaly** · 04-28-2007, 02:24 PM

yeah man, 3600 and up people keep telling me. I also forgot to deflate the tires to 20psi, I was running on 35psi... next time

**Mr. Luos** · 04-28-2007, 02:25 PM

Oh yeah...go lower.

I run 14-15 PSI in mine when I run.
Gets a little wobbly up top.

**djvaly** · 04-28-2007, 02:27 PM

hahahah I can pull 1.7 60' on 15psi, I just gotto remember to inflate them to 35-40psi on my way back home.

**Mr. Luos** · 04-28-2007, 02:30 PM

I did that once.
Left them at 15 PSI for the ride home. Little loose....

**djvaly** · 04-28-2007, 02:32 PM

I need more experience at the track, I'll let you know when I get 11s

going to get tq arm and panhard bar next week. ohh, and I didn't take the big ass amp out and etc i can probably clean 80lbs of junk from the car for the race... well at least I got a number to improve now. looking forward to 7.8s in 1/8th too.

**Mr. Luos** · 04-28-2007, 02:35 PM

Good luck man.
Takes time and practice for sure.

**djvaly** · 04-28-2007, 02:36 PM

thanks mate! yeah practice is needed at launches

**Mr. Luos** · 04-28-2007, 02:58 PM

With your stall...you should be able to warm them up and let them rip.

**djvaly** · 04-28-2007, 08:01 PM

**Mr. Luos** · 04-28-2007, 08:10 PM

Did the car spin? Or did you get wheel hop?
Or were you just not in the powerband for that cam?

**djvaly** · 04-28-2007, 08:26 PM

I wheel hopped a bit but I can't do nice burnouts like M6 to heat up the tires,
I went around the water box, no burn out either,

**Mr. Luos** · 04-28-2007, 08:28 PM

You should still be able to warm them up.
Go around the waterbox...and back into it. Get the MT's a little wet...and powerbrake it. Hold the brake just enough to stay still.

5 second warming is all they need.

**djvaly** · 04-28-2007, 08:31 PM

I'll try to do that... cool. hey I got a leak just saw it tonight,, red/pink oil? driver's side kind of next to the headlight...? wtf is there? and the tranny looks like it start slipping a bit, it worries me mate... a burnt like fume comes from underneath the car too when I parked in a lot,, wtf?

**djvaly** · 04-28-2007, 08:32 PM

toasted tranny? can't be cause I put a B&M cooler on it... I hate when shit breaks... arhhh

**Mr. Luos** · 04-28-2007, 08:44 PM

Check the lines on the cooler. Might just be a line that needs attention.

**djvaly** · 04-29-2007, 06:34 AM

ok man, I'll do that... but what about the fume/smoke burnt smell, and the tranny slipping still hooking but like half slipping? you think the tranny is good right?

**Mr. Luos** · 04-29-2007, 06:34 AM

I can't tell without driving it.

Isn't it a built number though?? When was is built?

**djvaly** · 04-29-2007, 06:36 AM

it was built up a few weeks ago, A4 stage 4 can hold to 600rwhp and the B&M cooler in front. I would be really surpised if it fried?

**Mr. Luos** · 04-29-2007, 06:36 AM

I agree.
And if it is...call the shop that did it.

**djvaly** · 04-29-2007, 06:40 AM

LG shipped it to RPM Transmissions... I'll stop by Monday morning at LG to check the coolant line. I think you're right it's the Redline coolant they put it, it's pinkish and it's got an oily feel. cool, thanks mate!
