Thanks Mark , Actually it's far from being dialed in , my car has never been logged going down the track , I'm hoping to have a datalogger hooked up before the next track outing and a boost controller shortly after that .

I posted pics of rims I got from a Supporting Vendor:
1. None of the tires were balanced
2. They put in extra valve stems on the inside edge of the INNER barrel
3. Have an email from August saying they were going to ship,
then I didn't get them until Oct 5.


All I did was post the facts & the pics, but because I made "multiple" posts
(C5 & in C6) I got banned.

The $ the Vendor pays is more important than a 10 yr member's right to inform his forum brothers I suppose.

I was banned from the cf a while back myself. Bunch of %#^$&* for mods over there.
You were there for 10yrs YoEl? Members like that are why vendors advertise on a forum in the first place. Nice, real nice.

That's what happens when Ellis buys tires made from smelly cheese.

I guess he wanted whine to go with them.
