    The problem with the wheel weights is that R compounds build up boogers way too fast, throwing the wheel out of balance anyways. They also wear too fast to effectively balance an R compound setup.

                    File for one with the government. It'd be only $50 a month though.

                    Welfare only covers so many mods at a time....

                    and you'll need to impregnate a co-worker.

                        I was late seeing this.
                        Charlie, how many DE weekends do you have in at Mid-Ohio?
                        Sweet driving, looks like you hit T1 hotter than in your videos from previous years

                          Awesome vid, man. You can really drive

                          Btw, can someone explain the whole wheel weight concept? Do all e30s have them? Is it just a balance issue? Thanks.

                            He's simply referring to the weights that are either adhesived on, or clamped on the very edge of the wheel. Whenever you 'throw' one of these there's going to be an obvious shimmy because the wheel/tire combo is now out of balance.
