Wow... with that low of a PSI, your front tires should get great traction...

Just be careful you don't drive over a baseball and puntcure a tire.

That's the Frazier method of tire inflation. Run them as low as possible, wait till one of them is completely flat and let someone else fill it up.

Wes' logic defies all rational reasoning.




I asked him that one day @ the cruise...why his tires looked low up front, and his reply was "Well, I dropped them to like 15 or 18 psi for the strip and just haven't put them back"

BRILLIANT!

So yeah, the goat will be better suited for autocross after this Saturday Hotchkis swaybar and lots of Pedders suspension goodness going on the car. I can't wait.

Great to hear, Dan.

looking forward to seeing how the car does on the PVGP weekend, since that's the next BR event. I won't be @ the MS event for NHSCC, since I'll be @ the Tour event in Peru.

Damn it, I forgot I'm gonna miss PVGP weekend. That's usually a lot of fun too. Oh well, vacation FTW.

Don't know when my car will get it's next auto-x upgrade . My coilovers I don't think are ever coming out and my goddamn brakes need redone like YESTERDAY. They're getting to the point of being useless AND annoying. Thinking about buying another set of pads and starting from scratch.

When are you putting on the sway bar endlinks?? I'm curious to know how those go and how different it feels.

As far as the coilovers... don't know what to tell ya. I'm hoping to get my Konis ordered and on before Peru. I'm running out of time... now that I have the OT $$ coming in, I have the cash, but not the time. Almost tempted to see how much it would cost to get someone to do the fronts for me. I can do the rears with ease....


Starlight will most likely be a no-go here. I'm working late, and then have to get stuff done for the weekend.

Probably same time I do the brakes. Hopefully that's REAL soon.

I'll ask Melissa how much it cost her to get hers installed on the Accord.

I'm also a no-go for Starlight. Won't get there till 6 at the earliest plus I haven't been sleeping at all this week.

I thought about talking to That guy you mentioned in Levelgreen where Denny gets alot of stuff done ( Jim ? ), and see what he would want. I know he charged about $300-ish to replace the springs in Denny's EVO ( ballpark ).

Yeah, Jim's a good guy to talk to. See if he'll measure the cornerweights on your car too. He did mine one day up at BR. I know it's a VERY important thing to know with coilovers, but it would probably help with your Konis as well. It'll give you some idea of how to set them up to get the car almost perfectly balanced.
