I have a bunch from friday, I just need to upload dem. All the vids are fail but this one captures the feel of good ol island dragway The hoosiers were either spinning like crazy or bogging from too low of a stationary rev limit. Either way, he had a full tank of gas and went 102 in the 1/8th which is a new best I think and still 130 trap speeds.

I think I may know what you picked up... I'll find out on Sunday I guess.

good news about the noise, bad news about the alignment. not sure how more rear neg camber will effect things but I would have went with atleast even front/rear. Bimmerworks 'should' know what they're doing setting up the car like that, I would hope.

seriously, I think mitsu designed that bolt to get stuck in there or something. I had to use (gulp) a torch and BFH to get mine unstuck. I tried everything else and it was the last resort @ 1am. I think you should have called Jeff for help with that one, he's got the right set of tools.
I think he was going more by what I was telling him, he doesn't know a damn thing about these cars. I think if I need him to tweak the rears it wouldn't be an issue.

Oh, I'm running it! I didn't spend all this damn money to drive someone else's car. Thank you though Chu.

I do have a pretty good shimmy at speeds over 65mph. My steering wheel always shook a little bit but it seems to be worse with the new alignment. I don't think its the tires as its always done it. My snows are still on too, I haven't swapped out the wheels yet. I don't really know what to make of that... I need to swap them over and see if its any better. Thoughts anyone?

try a known good set of wheels/ tires. Your more than welcome to try mine. I do not have any vibrations.
