Two of my runs i was on the brakes bc A- damn camaro guy had like a gazillion Hp and no tire, and B- i had to run a guy on a bike that apparently thought scratching his head was a good idea at 120mph. Just a rant, bad night altogether for me, clutch is one of those STUPID ones, so ill be at nissan in the AM, and i couldnt get back down to a 13.7 or better, pulled a couple 13.8s.

I can set the load for the end-links but don't know how to do each wheel balancing for the 4 corner balancing.
BTW, I was talking to a customer last night at work and we got on the subject of 4-corner balancing. I forgot to ask him where I could get it done but I may be seeing him again tomorrow, so I'll ask him and it should be in the BR area. I'll let ya'll know what I find out

all you wheel people genius' help me out. Since I can't afford new wheels right now, I was thinking of putting spacers on for my stock 5 spoke 18" wheels (the rims that are now standard for the 07 and 08) Good idea or not? If so what size spacing would I need to have them sit flush with the car?

Yup mine stuck, i talked to ex's dad last night who is some big wig with Infinity, he says that the trany was made to do that on purpose. The cylinder it made to stick when it gets to a set temp to keep the tranny from being "ragged on".
But on the track..., neither, never have i seen a track where they let bikes run cars, the guy nearly lost it on the bike, yeah he ran a 11.8 and i ran a 13.8 but when a guy nearly goes down on a bike infront of you you hit the brakes due to the whole "hey im going that way and hes rolling around on the ground.." And for the car, he couldnt keep his back end behind him, they atually made him stop running it was so bad, near wall hits many times. So if you were trying to be "smart a s s" realise that i dont want a totaled car nor do i want to kill some guy on a bike as i ride very often too.
