You can make one very easy. I'll look for the one I made if you don't want to make one.

Here's the how to

Torque steering is the influence of engine torque on the steering for some front-wheel drive vehicles.

Fishtailing (also called "tank slapping") is a vehicle handling problem which occurs when the rear wheels lose traction, resulting in oversteer.

hello,

I've been on here for awhile and in and out of vegas, but I was wondering if any of you guys knew a good place to get my wheels repaired. They have some scuffs and one of them does not hold tire pressure all that well. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I see you guys do the Thursday meets so I will try to be out there this week...

I'm going to have a busy week! I'm going to install my uicp and fmic before the races. I'm also going to barrow my friends fender rolling tool and try to roll the rears.

Anyone have a place I could do this stuff?

uicp will take no more than 20 mins with the right tools. Fmic would be about 30-40 mins. Prep time would be about an hour...taking off the front bumper.

Turnaround time with everything accounted for...about 3.5-4 hours if ur by urself, less if u have someone to help.

Man, I need new wheels! I tried cleaning the brake dust deposit on my wheels and ended up with some light scratches! Sucks!

Looking at Rotas, what's the reviews from you guys? I read that they have a year or two of bad rep, but it's mostly good now.

The bad rep is that they break easily, on the spokes itself. But I also read that when that happened, rota issued a recall.

What do u guys think?

I've done the install on my other car. It's not hard, but I can't do it in the car port at my apartment.

It's cool, I have a place I can do it.
