Originally posted by EurospeedOnce you start to notice that they're getting louder than usual, it's time to adjust them. It's really not hard, and it's best to do it with 2 people. Takes about an hour at the most, and it makes a big difference.
My fast says: traction control is for the faint of heart :evil:

Originally posted by Scott314That's not entirely true. The clearances can actually get tighter as your engine gets more worn, in which case they wouldn't be getting louder, but they would need to be adjusted.
