Message Dean, the previous owner flat-spotted the front right tire. No clue how the hell he did that. With the car still stock and VERY quiet(compared to my NA B&B), it's getting annoying fast! So I said, "Hmmm... What if?" Uh-oh, there's that voice from the Dark Side again. What's it saying now. "Well Arnel, you COULD take off the TT rims from the rear of the NA and swap them to the front of the TT." Hmmm...yeah I can do that. 8.5's all around is a good thing. Let's do it...

..DONE. 7.5's all around on the NA. 8.5's all around on the TT. I discovered that the TT has some negative camber and the flat-spot is on the inner part of the tire. Well, with that tire in the rear of my NA, I go for a test drive and I don't feel it at all. With perfect rear camber I must not be rolling on the flat-spot. COOL! Go to take out the TT. Smooth, quiet! No more of that annoying rythmic noise. VERY COOL!

Oh, and I'm in the TT coming back about 4 blocks from my house and I come up to an intersection with a clean big-ass black Monte SS. I go thu the intersection and the Monte turns and follows me. At the next stop sign, I see three kids in the car checking out the TT. A quick boosted launch off the intersection shows them it's a true TT. Not fronting here. Kinda get a little sideways. :-) I get to my street, turn, they follow. I slow up side by side to my sticker plastered NA parked in front of the house and their jaws drop! The look on their faces, priceless... :-)

Next...HKS ALC from NA->TT. It's begun...Oh help me...
