Brazil Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 weld 15''x10.5 7.5 back space What Breaks fit on that set up Mark? How would you compare the drag wheels to say a set of Toyo R888's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark newman Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 you will need Jspec on , and r888's are no good for drag . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R888s are no good for drag racing, there a circuit tire. EDIT: just to add, you can get drag radials that fit the stock 16" and 17" wheels but the wheels Mark recommended would be best, I dont think they clear UK rear brakes though, only jspec calipers.

V8KILR Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The stock 16" wheels will fit over the UK rear brakes with a small amount of grinding if you need to. That allows you to run 16" MT ET Street tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the Info..! Yes the TRD is a good option for drag racing. A stronger drive shaft and driveshaft loops as well are also necessary at high power levels. What clutch are you running? What hp level are you aiming at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark newman Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 a TRD diff is not the best for a drag car ,its all right, but not great. a 2 way kaaz is far better. you need a large case diff, uprated prop mybe one from the DDshop, single lengh. you could go for uprated drive shalfts from the DD shop but at £2500.00 a pair, you my want to see how you get on first , I have broken about 6 of them so far but that is on MT street radial tyre, A radial tyre will don't have much play in the side wall, so things brake. if you go for a slick tyre there is so much give in the tyre , and that will save the drive train, mybe with only bhp you will be better not with a 28'' tall tyre but go with a 26.5 tyre , you my see better times, but it is drag racing its not easy.
