Just ordered a bunch of bushings, some spacers, some arp studs and some lug nuts... I really need to start putting some of this inventory on the car...


Also smeared on some exhaust sealer and took it for a ride to bed bath and beyond and got some knifes.

AFR was fine, 14.7 as usual when idling, a little rich when boosting, according to my Tanabe gauge, but the dyno read differently. I was 430/385 at the wheels. Stock block, 97k miles, 10k of the miles were boosted.

Wanna learn from others mistakes and discoveries.

I am rather amused at the hand marking "FRONT".

Square setup, yes? "LEFT" or "RIGHT" (asymetric) maybe but "FRONT"?? Laff....

But ya, there's something oddly erotic about that photo. To a guy with a wheel & tire fetish anyways. Pant pant.... I just shocked myself earlier today when I was going through and figuring out how many whill n' tahr sets between my three Zs.... I need an intervention.

It might be which ones have less weights. Less weights to hit balance usually get put up front.

It's supposed to cut chatter and wheel feedback daily driving and distance driving. But your right if it's a track set up it's a bit useless lol

Good call Ck_32 I questioned the markings also when i picked them up. The guy who balanced them told me the reason he did it and you're bang on with the chatter! Huh, you learn something everyday...Not much of a concern to me, but at least i know he took his time and did a proper job - it's the little things, i'll go back. (thank god he didn't mark "REAR" on the other two haha)

Mik - don't be pickin on me, i'm older than you and i'll beat you with my cane. And you're the tire guy, you should know why the the guy who balanced them did the markings (i didn't know either).

So, for punishment, I'm going to feed your sick obsession!
I took another picture of the four virgins Do with it what you will
I put the "FRONT" on there again so you're not looking at it from the rear
