Drag Rims, Electronic Cut outs and hood pin for sale

1. 2- Kosei 18x9 K1-TS graphite. New / Not used. No tires. These wheels are discontinued. Don't buy the 18x8 rims since you won't be able to find a good skinny 245 drag radial so you have to go with 9 inch wide or better if you can find them anymore. Weight 16.9 lbs which saves about 12-13lbs of unsprung weight over stock. I ran a 11.11@126 w/ 1.68 60-foot using these and 265 wide Mickey Thompsons. $575 + shipping from zipcode 20176.

2. Electronic Cut-out kit (Dual 2.25 Inch Quick Time Electric Cutout Package)

Includes:
• (2) 2.25 Inch Electric Valve
• (2) Intermediate Wire
• (1) Toggle Switch

https://shop.quicktimeperformance.co...ct_detail&p=38

NEW $325. Yours for $200 + Shipping

Listen to how loud they can be set to by listening to my race with the GTR and Mustang in my signature down the 1/4. You can set it to be closed to 100% open in 3-5 seconds. Stock noise or Mustang level noise in 3-5 seconds from inside the cabin.

More info:

3. Mercedez Benz hood pin. This is all steel, not cheap plastic. $85 new. 1.75 inch. Never used. $50 + shipping.

See here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts...ht_1883wt_1658


Please PM me. thanks.

They did come pretty close only because of the 40 series MT's. It never rubbed though. It would be perfect if they had 35 series but no biggie. Good luck saturday.

Did you sell the MT tires?? If not im interested. Also when you say the BFGs didnt give you as good of a time are you refering to the BFG drag radials and if so what size? I was thinking of getting the 275-40-17s drag radial but now you got me thinking to stay away but ive heard of alot of people doing 1.6s with these BFGs maybe it was since they were 18s.
