so what would be the best way to mount up some metal for me to drag im on air and i wanna put the spark as far back as possable just seeing what others have rigged up...some drag blocks on the exhaust?
please dont tell me you were serious about on the exhaust. you would rip it off right away. just look under you car where you can weld/bolt to that is the lowest point and your done
you can do that but i frown against balls. im not a fan nor are many of the mini truckers i know out here in az
im going to be making the same thing so i can bolt some titanium to them. i use the balls because they are the cheapest way i found so far, that and i dont have the access to box steel stock or tubing
i just use solid steel to drag or if yor low enough you can just use old leaf springs that come off your buddies trucks lol
yeah im not sure if im that low enough yet, havent tried lol but some solid steel would be nice to have
travis i sell block for 25 i will be in akron next week if you want to get some.
2x2 solid bolts to the k member
thanks guys i think im gonna go with balls,im not sure why your not a fan of them i can only see good from using balls but i wanna be able to remove them and change them whenever so i think thats the best route.
the problems with balls is their tendency to come loose and go flyin. i have had my window on my sunfire broke by somebody who was using balls. The blocks i have r bolt on. I if you pm me a cell number i can send you a vid of me draggin with them
oh that sounds scary...im re-thinking.....what about if i just welded some thick steel to my rear core support>?
yeah i lost a ball the other night and almost hit a buddy of mine, but then again he lost one of his mounts and it was about 4 times bigger then mine, thank god i wasnt behind him at that time. so either way its dangerous, but its still fun, hopefully ill get some pics posted up from that night
the best way you can go is weld it straight to the car. most likely wont come off but there have been times they have but its very less likely for them to come off
ive, seen someone put a magnesium on a led sled.u just drill and counter sink a shat load of bolts. it'd be more practical to make a mount though. so u can mount up steel plates. id. make em at an angle so the absorb the bumps better.
Listen F***ers. FASTERTHANAHONDA is a joke because I WORK FOR HONDA. I'll talk @!#$ about Fords to, that doesn't mean I can beat a 12 second mustang.
i doubt it was magnesium. that stuff is dangerous when its hot. it doesnt cool down it just kind of melts and takes everything with it
probally titanium but i have heard of magnesium before but never have seen it
magnesium burns if brought to the right temperature, thats why its used as a firestarter in survival kits.
not to flame...BUT...draggin IMO is @!#$in stupid...you dont look cool, no matter what the stoned out hip-hop crowd tells you, and your tearing up the @!#$ roads...which all of us pay for. just stop, grow up and stop...

you would be surprised how many people like it i mean im going to a big car show next weekend in arkansas for mainly low riders, and thats whats gonna happen all night long
i mean im sorry if you dont understand but this is how we live our lives if you dont like im sorry maybe your the one that needs to grow up
sorry if i came off as a dick didnt mean to
its not that i havent grown up but like said before its the lifestyle i live. and if your not into that, thats cool but dont sit here and say we wreck the roads because i know when i drag i barely do any harm to the road. you leave white lines that you cant even tell dug into the surface because thats not what is happening. all that is happening is metal draging over the top getting so hot that it sparks off. and why do you care that my car gets messed up. why else would i BUILD my car do to it. if i didnt want to take the risk of messing up my car i would have kept stock suspension on. so dont knock it before you have even tried it or been in a vehicle while doing it. its kinda like a roller coaster its just fun so you keep doing it.
Exactly, couldnt have said it better myself Andrew. Unless you're the one dragging, or are into the whole scene you wouldnt understand it. It does no harm what so ever to roads whether they are new or old it just shaves metal off whatever you have on your car when it gets hot enough, and it is like a rollercoaster, a very fun one with no waiting line haha. We build our cars for OURSELVES not anyone else, what we choose to do to them is on us, not you. And like said before if we cared why would we have bagged them to begin with? Get in a line of about 10+ cars and trucks dragging together and you'll get the picture of why its fun
amen. thats why im looking forward to the 3 hour drive to arkansas, about 20 or so bagged vehicles its going to be great!!!!
You going to sparks in the ozarks? A few of my buddies from here will be there too I wish I could go, but I dont have the money nor want to drive 10 hours each way
