yeah, the sway bar is all good. it's still oozing grease and is only slightly off center.

i took down my rear strut tower brace (just to be sure) but the noise is still there.

i am getting ready to take it back to the tire shop now, because like i said, suspisciously there was no noise coming from my car until they mounted those tires.

and i will definitely check those lugs, thanks jer.

Yeah, good questions Dan. I would definately try this ****. It can't be too bad for the car. My only concern would be the crappy *** tires I have on right now.

I would say would shouldn't have any problems with your car lowered! and yes i was spinning the tires on the uphill straight. "probably shouldv'e eased into the throttle more " you would have a great time out there im sure, your already addicted to racing! On another note, i was wondering about you guys with oil catch cans. Did you run a outlet tube to the air intake of did you guys just leave that off and cap it? I just got a cusco catch can and i've been reading that it can be done either way.

yes you do need a helmet. I am happy to let anyone borrow it if you come out. Its new too so dosn't smell bad yet . yes it was all 2nd gear and i was not launching really at all, you get about 8 feet to start before you pass the timer so. Yes a two day racing weekend would be fun. now my car was almost the loudest out there now without a cat and my new bov. dam it sounds mean!
