Its a nice sack ... whats not to love.


not to question what i talked about before.

I trapped a 117.1 mph on buschurs dyno when i was making like 340

soo, i cant figure out the difference in numbers. I imagine at that point i was probably making like 400+ instead of the 360.. difference is this time, i am not running a MBC just chillen on WG pressure, or atleast what it will allow me to push (between 22 and 24 pounds) would like to boost to 30 but car wont do it right now... and no time to trouble shoot.

My cars MPH is a little lower than normal, but its ET's are about the same. off by about 100th of a second. but my MPH is down by about 4 mph. makes no sense to me.

oh and my 60's were way crappier. instead of my 1.7's and 1.67s i got 1.83's and worse but still trapped the same..
Car is odd. but runs good enough for me.

Yeah seems to be a ton of places around here, definitely plan to have a lot of fun doing this.....just need to get used to riding again before I get too crazy.

It has been 10-12 years since I really road a mt. bike - im picking up pretty quick but while you don't forget how to ride a bike, you sure do forget how to do all the stuff you used to do on a bike,

Yeah I hear ya! I grew up in town so all I would ever ride were roads before... Started riding trails and holy $%#* were they tough. But the clip-in pedals are what put the hurtin on me

Wheels

Got the wheels back from powdercoat today, All in all they look good but due to previous work done, they didn't turn out as well as I would have liked!

Now time for tires 255/40's fit without rubbing right?

Just outta curiousity anyone know a good place to get tires mounted and balanced in the area? I have heard Pro Trucks in Murrysville was good?

Looks good Ian. While Im not sure where a good place would be to get them mounted, I would not go to NTB nor Import Export tire. Ive gone to both places previously and did not like either of them. I/E over-torqued my lugs and NTB doesnt know how to balance a tire.
