Gus only goes to the finish line. I did the St Jude Memphis one and that was huge too. I didn't know your husband ran them. How long has he been running? I set a PR yesterday, I ran 14 miles in 2:05. lol its not great, but it is for me!

so the corner balancing went sorta ok. started out like this with sway bars unhooked, 1/4 tank of gas and me in the car

LF 1015 RF 926
LR 599 RR 584 total weight of 3124

screwed with it for about an hour and couldnt really get it to shift around enough. finally went and got just over a half tank of gas and got

LF 1025 RF 926
RR 609 LR 590 total weight of 3150

need to do some more reading on balancing to try and shift some of the weight back. but its a 60/40 split so its not really that bad. need more to balance left and right

I thought the point of corner balancing was to find out the weight distribution so you could make the necessary suspension adjustments?

By the way, thanks for getting me hooked on crack, I mean, Rock Band, ass.

it is, but the things that i was adjusting werent working. so i need to find out what i need to adjust to get the balance left to right. im not as concerned with the front to back cuase i sont think im gonna be able to shift 200 lbs with out affecting camber. which is -1* right now

i have access to them any time i need them so i can get it done right whenever. i ended up putting them back the way i had it originally becuse it was closer than what i ended up with

[BigBalledOX]

Ah, ok, that makes sense.

I'm trying hard to resist the temptation to buy Rock Band. Its not going very well.

Hey, I forgot about this in last night's drunken haze - what about the SVT heads?

[jaged]

the heads are on the car still with the cams

[BigBalledOX]

Oh! I thought you had the cams in the 3L heads and they were on the car. Ok, cool, just wondering.

What are you trying to corner balance? The only things corner balancing has an affect on are the cross weights so that the car handles the same both in the left and right turns. Right now in that sense your at ~51.5/48.5 which should be easily adjustable to 50/50 if you have coilovers.

i have the d2's. i was trying to do it the wrong way. i should have read more before i did this, but th people that have done it that were there really werent that much help.

basically what it amounts to is i have a lot of adjustablility, but not enough knowledge to apply it properly

[BigBalledOX]

Damn maths!
