I never would have thought lighter tires and rims would make such a difference on a dyno! That is just crazy.

Feeding the addiction. An acquaintance of Kracka's is parting a car that already has Rallye 4's. I wish I'd gotten that email a few days sooner! Some sweet parts on that ride.

So, these must be for the harnesses, correct? I think you said you will have real race harnesses?

The Rallye 4's use the stock seatbelt anchors rather than a harness bar. The nice thing is that they are easily detached when you don't need them since they have releases similar to an OEM seatbelt.

Just returned from Discount Tires in West St Paul. Put a set of 265/35/18 Star Specs on the Volk RE30's. The guys there are pretty cool. One of them has a 400whp Mustang that DB tuned for him.
MAP said they should receive the tappets that they need to finish my head today. None of the ones from my old head were the right sizes for the new one. If it is finished before DB closes then I'll go pick it up this afternoon.

Nice! Not sure if you saw my posts about it, but did you buy the TPMS sensors from them?
Just an FYI they were not able to program them.

Crap. I need to do that airbag sensor recall soon anyway so I can have the dealer do it.

I just stopped at Discount, they said in a month or so they should have the software update. I am waiting for it and they were cool about it. They said they would flip the dealership bill if I wanted them to since they said they would be able to do it.
So I will wait a few weeks or a month and if nothing still then I will have the dealer do it. The thing that made me the most mad about the dealer was how they wanted a separate appointment to do it and acted like it was brain surgery to do it.

Brookdale...the guy was all like it doesn't take five minutes at all. I told him I had all the sensor id's so you plug your computer in and enter the numbers...done. Then he was like well the computer is like 5000 dollars. I was not happy,he was treating me like I didn't know shit. Then he wanted me to make an entire appointment, f that.
My first bad experience there but whatever.
