Re: Bring slicks, not excuses
how were you guys launching on them? Just like redline clutch dumps or? they tell me that M&Hs like to get big burnouts and stage immediatley with low air pressure in them (10-12psi) what do you reccomend?

Bump from the dead. I was curious if it is possible for stock 13s you find any where to fit on a Honda. Brake clearance wise. This is on my Civic Ex and I have 14s I have just cleaned up, but look at these tires I found.

They come in 215/50/13 and 235/50/13 for both they are under $100 a piece. Not too bad in my research attempts. Is it worth trying to snag 13s and throw these tires on? Sorry to thread jack, but I also am curious (as is the thread starter) on the launch. Wondering if he took them out yet too.

Squirrrrrrrrm? I'm having trouble finding slicks about $100 a piece and I have a mild concern of ripping my tranny out. Suggestions now?

If you dont just dump the clutch off the line you wont have to worry about breaking ---- (as much). Its the inital shock of the clutch engaging and the tires grabbing instead of slipping that breaks ----. Plus, if you just dump, you probably will just bog because hondas just (usually) dont have the torque to turn over big fat stickies fast enough at low rpm. Launching is 90% technique, and 100% practice.
