Upper and lowers and subframes, take weight out of the front and add some to the back, and put some slicks on and a stock mustang will have enough power to pull the wheels... That said, wheelies are pointless. It's just energy wasted in lifting the front of the car that could be used to move the car forward. When you see a car doing a wheelie, it's not going as fast as it could down the track.

 

What can I take out of the front to reduce weight? Besides the given battery. I just wanna say that my car can do one!

 

Take off the front and rear sway bars too!

 

 

rev to 10 k feather clutch out.. wait i never mind i thought this was a troll on the gixxer forums i'm on ha ha

 

385 ft/lb will do it.

 

384 ft/lbs

 

aluminum heads will get rid 60 pounds, fiberglass hood ect......

 

my car makes 377 and didnt pull a wheel I dont think....

 

Your bf did it with his second build. I think he was at 385 ft/lb or so.... I know he was knocking on the door of 400 lb/ft.

Crack open the bottle and you'll be there

 

Still on the stock rear suspension are ya?

 

**** aint leavin my car till I pull a 1.4

 

I've always had that thought in my head. Sitting at a light, Honda pulling up next to me revving the 4 banger, them me poppin a wheelie. It would be priceless.

A wheelie definitely isn't happening on the street unless you have weight ballasts in the back. You aren't going to hook enough to pull the front wheels up unless you're on a prepped track.

 

just take the front struts off the car

 

lol, are you still quad shocks and all?

 

yup. Only thing aftermarket is subframes and battle boxes

 

I'll bet he's got weight in the back of that, or he poured some VHT down, or he's been doing that in the same spot laying down a shitload of rubber in the same spot to hook on. (which looks like the case) Believe me, it ain't happening at a stoplight somewhere. I have a friend who had a 1500hp alcohol car that ran bottom 5's in the 1/8 and he took it out on the street a few times in front of his shop and never got enough traction on the street to get the wheels up.. and that car weighed less than 2k IIRC, full tubs and slicks.

Edit: no that weight can't be right now that i think about it, but it was a tube frame chassis with a firebird body on it and that was it so it was definitely light... and come to think of it, that hp figure can't be right either. The guy told me this and I never really thought about it but 1500hp should have been faster than it was for what it was... regardless. even if it had 1000 hp, I def saw it run bottom 5's and I def saw it not be able to lift the front on the street.

 

Well my dreams are crushed, lol. I can always put hydraulics on the front and hit the switch when I take off. Plus ill have a bunch of batteries in the trunk to hold the back down, lol

 

Get a CBR1000RR, any year!!!!

 

A buddy of mine runs a 66 Malibu 2 door wagon with a 540 on spray, he ran that on the street until he hit the 8's. He'd pull the tires on the street no problem, and used to drag the bumper at the track. Running a 32X16 slick on the street helps, lol. Plus, there was next to no weight in the front of the car, fibreglass front bumper, hood, fenders, etc. and lots of weight over the rear with the cage, full glass, etc.

 

pics?

 

When you start doing wheelies, you look for way to NOT do them. **** just slows you down and can break stuff.

 

wheelie=front suspension hates you.

 

On the street its not gonna happen on most cars that dont have the chassis backhalfed period. Otherwise you will need an insane amount of HP and DOT slicks. On the track its fairly easy with boltons, N20, Steep gears and big slicks.

 

for a bone stock car you'll need a couple of things to pull a wheelie. torque, slicks, a strong rear end, weight reduction/weight transfer, and suspension to catch all the traction you can. you'll need to build your rear-end changing the axles to at least 31 spline along with a posi 31 spline differential, remove all your a/c components, move battery to the back, remove front sway bar, remover the bumper support, remove egr, remove windshield washer fluid tank, and that should be enough to pull tires up or it was enough for me with almost full basic bolt ons especially 4.10 gears or steeper. now getting suspension work done will increase traction, prevent wheel hop putting more torque to the ground get some full length subframe connectors, quad shocks and shocks, replace the stock subframe connectors with polyurethane bushings or get a set of control arms, some traction bars, launching springs, and some skinny tires for the front you'll pull a pretty good wheelie for a full bolt on car. i would stay away from cams, your wanting low end power not top end to pull a wheelie. my car can bet a ls1 swapped into a datzun that weighs 2,000 pounds from the launch by almost 3 tenths at the 60foot but by the 1/8 mile he will walk me and beat me by 4 tenths at 1000 foot. low end power is where is at to pop wheelies. plus cars with good low end power are fun to feel when you take off that fast.

 

...and a shovel to re-bury this thread.

 

Geeeeeezus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to mention the thread bump is full of WTHF (what the holy ****) information.

My car has a cam, and it does wheelies. I guess I'm doing them wrong.

 

And it has no capitalization at all.

The only wheelies I pop are on my Mt. Bike

 

Let me tell you, if James Bond can do it with a tractor trailer, anything is possible.
