traction has improved alot with the fitment of some good tyre's since i have now opted for a street slick,

 

as for axle tramp i have only experienced it once at the drags with a bit of a clutchy launch.....

but nothing on the street.

just thought id bump this back up with a question, What kind of nitrous system are you running?(direct port, dry or fogger) What shot are you running(50hp, 75hp, 100hp etc) and What did this setup cost you? Also where do you get your nitrous refilled and what does it cost you?

Hey, awesome car man. Credit to you.

 

I also own a KE55 Corolla just with a lot less mods than yours. I have though got hold of a 4AGE 16V and a celica box. I know that I need to upgrade the brajes but I don't know what to put in. I thought that the only way to put bigger brakes on was to replace the whole strut. So what have you done. Also here is a pic of my car

Awesome car man, credit to you. I also own a KE55 and I am doing a conversion with a 4AGE. Just wondering what you have done with the front suspension.

[HEKTIC]

"olskool" if you read through the information on the first page he says that its got ra60 front struts and r31 skyline rear brakes. Just have a read next time buddy

the nitrous is a fogger sytem only cost $700 has anything from 35 - 350hp

the car however will only be fit with a 35hp shot which will increase the power by around 20hp at the wheels

You can upgrade brakes on the stock strut, with a custom hub machined up.

 

Probably wont make jamboree, Still tryin to get it in for the suspension being mucked around! I ll bring her out though to show you shane.

 

I ll be out to watch you race as we have the exact same setup almost. It ll give me a heads up to my times!!!
