get rid of the big brake kit, buy some bogarts, or some type of WIDE 13" rim and put some wide radials on it, that have big side walls, so that you can get some crinkle out of those walls.

nah i bet this kid can drive, he jus needs drag radials and traction bars. U can also look into ur tranny and go with a phantom grip or a spool. The only thing about a spool is that its only made for 1/4 mile racing. If ur jus spinning off the line then u need to look at doing transmission work. I'd stick wit b16ahybrid and see how it turns out. blkstangman88 why r u in this thread. I think most of us will stick to our hondas and jus embarass u mustang guys...
BTW: The thing about the DOT drag radials, u wanna check to see what kind of compound ull need. something sticky? it all depends on the cars weight and shyt like that..hope this info helps
