Looks like someone tried to force a bolt in there that was too big, or there was a bolt in it and dropped it/hit it, maybe over torqued a flywheel bolt? Strange

Anyone looking for bottle caps with roller tires for $40 for the set? I've got 2 sets, but don't want to toss them if someone wants them on the cheap.

Drift spares? I could do that. How shitty are the tires?

I've finally gotten my car aligned! On the way home from JMP on a Wednesday afternoon, I tested it down Stunt Road & Tuna Canyon, and something seems a bit off. Steering responsiveness is kind of null in the center. The bushings are good, there isn't play in the refurbished rack, but like, when I turn into a corner, I really feel the car taking its time to settle its weight before it bites into the curve and turns. There's this weird delay in getting the car to turn. I've been on the stock sway bars all this time, but I don't remember experiencing this phenomenon before.

Meant to comment on this earlier... that will tighten up and go away after you do swaybars. Mine felt the same after I installed my suspension and before I did swaybars.

Something to do with a system imbalance. When first cornering, you're inducing a moment of roll to the front by changing its direction relative to the rear (so the front want to go right, the rear wants to stay straight, so the weight of the car shifts to the front left). With such soft swaybars and such stiff springs, theres no roll resistance side to side (before with everything soft it was all absorbed equally and felt better) now with stiff springs you place all that burden on the soft sway bars and as you notice they dont really do shit and it takes a moment for the weight of the car to settle into the turn and "equalize" front to rear. With a stiff front bar, the car will do a much better job of resisting that roll moment when you first hit a turn.

Hope that made sense. If anyone can explain it better or correct me please do.

Pretty crappy, but I'm sure it could get you some fun tire smoking.

Just picked these up for a steal of a price.
Azev Type A
16x7-1/2 et 27
Chrome and straight. Missing 2 emblems on the center caps but all caps are there. Nice rare wheels, can't wait to buy tires and mount them on my e30.

Those would look awesome on a proper early model.

Anyone near Fresno that can help me figure out the surging idle issue on my e30
