i've done a couple bleeds but I'm so freaking lazy I need motivation by someone else doing it with me.

I'm still doing the Pro because I signed up for it and because I want to try one... just not thrilled about the seat time vs. wait time or the cost vs. seat time. Do you know how the other drivers in our class are and how 'prepped' their cars are?
It's only $30-40 iirc, and you get 4 practice starts. Those starts are $10 by themselves. Not a full evo school... Just the differences in a pro.

why am i spending $100 to get that done?
i have a space in my garage (separate from where the cars are parked) perfect for a wheel balancer......you could store it there.

his car looks super prepped. the interior is stripped and everything.

i don't understand the reason for his whole lower HP thing. in that thread on the other forum he was saying how he runs a restictor plate

idk either. he runs ralley stuff and was saying how his springs are 200 & 300#, I lol'd and said I had more rate in one spring than all his put together. On a serious note, people were complementing his ability to keep the car straight after the engine blew. Just imagine trying to keep your car off the wall while its puking oil on the tires as you brake.

yeah, you just said that above, lol. How about our other competition? any idea on their skill level/prior exp?


also, what exactly do you get if you win your class? I thought mike said 4 tires, but I didn't know if that was for your class or the whole thing.

I believe it has to do with certain HP limitations in some of the rally events he runs.

Kind of like when you race online in GT5.

I've reached a point in the working day... it is a time that comes for no rhyme or reason... it could happen at 8am or it could happen at 5pm. I don't know where it comes from, all I know is that from this point going forward I'm not going to do another productive thing while at work.
