My 35" 4x4 wheels and tires only weigh 90 lbs. I don't like lugging them around and Fracky's remind me of them, only with fewer lugs.

Steve

 

Well some people only care about the LOOK.

 

True, but Fracky seems to be moving towards the performance side of the fence and will gain more performance from lighter wheels than anything else he does.

Steve

 

True Light wheels and tires are right under the pullys for best bang for the buck.


Any word on when Brad will be back?

 

You think he would call me? If he stopped in Colorado Springs yesterday, then it was a short day. He could conceivably be home tonight if he pushed it, but I expect it will be tomorrow before he arrives. He wouldn't want to get back too early and have to work.

Steve

 

Yea its not like you guys are partners or anything. Oh well Next time you can take your time and he can stay back and do installs.


Cars getting aligned today.

-2 in the front with 1/16 toe out
-1 in the rear with no toe in or toe out.

 

which way is he comming back? Over the mountains or thru the desert? Not easy either way.

 

Through the desert, I believe. I have pulled trailers through the Rockies, but I prefer the flats.

Steve

 

Well, Fracky, I don't know what was in your crankcase, but it was thick. And there was at least a quart too much of it. There was some crusty ***** in the filter housing, too. It's all better now, but I bet your oil light had something to do with your "oil".

Steve

 

I'm going to have to learn how to drive again I was on the freeway after picking up the car and I went to change lanes and next thing I know I'm 2 lanes futher than I wanted to be. Should be a lot of fun at AUTOCROSS.

 

For real!? Wow, I'm not sure what could've been in there but I'm glad you're going through the car with a fine-tooth comb. What do you think the crusty stuff was? Possibly oil leakage from the crankcase seal spitting back & upwards? Hmmmmm....commiting that thought to writing sounds real intelligent.

 

The oil definitely seemed heavier than 5W-30 and the drain plug required an 18" breaker bar and my weight to get it loose. I hope the last oil change wasn't a dealership job.

Steve

 

Now for wheels and tires and you will be killing us.

Steve

 

Yea now I just need to figure out what i'm going to do.

 

Start moding Jens car.

 

Jen won't let Chris work on her car.

Steve

 

if thats the case, then he can take it to you so you can start moding her car.

 

Why would I do that?

PS next time you smart off i'm changing your post.

 

True dat Mr.Steve! After taking a ride in your rocket, I'm hooked & ready to rumble. Now, I just have to figure out how to get my old lady to let me do all the neat new things.

 

See you just don't tell her.

Of course this doesn't work if your wife is friends with the guys who own the mini shop.

 

JEN SHOULD LOVE HER HUSBAND SPENDING $ ON MODS FOR HER MINI. IT IS SUCH A NICE GIFT, ALMOST AS GOOD AS FLOWERS

 

JEN, YOU SHOULD HAVE A LIST OF MODS YOU WANT POSTED ON THE FRIDGE.
YES. YOU TOOO PUTZ, SHOULD HAVE YOUR LIST OF DREAMS FROM THE BOYS AT CUSTOM MINI SHOP

 

Based on what a friend of mine is experiencing, don't call your lady old. Otherwise, you might need to find a new lady and end up with old things.

Putz, did you 'ban" Jen so she can't contribute? Was your car out of alignment or did you have it set for autocross?

 

Could be a problem. Plus, if she does the house bookkeeping, it's hard to hide the money.

Steve

 

Nope she not Baned just busy.

Not sure if it was out of alignment or not, But more than likely it was. So to answer your question yes it was for autocross.
