I think if the rear rollers move, they also move the front? That's the only explanation I can think of as to why the front wheels are rolling

Sensing sarcasm is definitely not one of your strong points.

You proved it 4 times in this page.

FD ownership has been a long time dream for me. I've owned mine for 4 weeks now and love every second of it It's a 93 Base PEP in a black metallic over tan leather. I'm a fan of the stock R1 body so that's the current direction I'm leaning towards. I have a bunch of things planned--waiting to install the new stock bumper/R1 lip (need to purchase), waiting on R1 rear spoiler, 99 tail lights to be shipped, and eventually I will change the hood to a Shine vented Feed and ax the hood pins. Might change the Evo R lights down the road as well..

The Super Advan Ver2 (and SA3R) have also been a dream wheel of mine for years now. I think those that don't like the style will change their minds after seeing these pictures. They are 18''x8'' +38 front with 235/40/18 and 18"x9" +40 with 265/35/18 Nitto 555s that were purchased off the forums--thanks Ryan! Enjoy, there will be more pictures to come! Forgive my subpar photo taking skills and the dirt

I havnt logged intake air temps yet but the the oil and water are interesting.

If I run 10 heat range spark plugs things start to get too hot after 2 hard laps, but if I use 11s they sit perfect 90*C water and 100*C oil.

No ducting at all (thats all about to chage) at the moment and huge gaps for the air to flow under and arround the cooler/radiator. This is in 10*C outside air temps and only 3 lap sprints though.

About the dyno...

I'm not sure how many of you guys have seen it, but my tuner has a MustangDyno that hooks the rear rollers to the front so they all spin, and it gives it a feel closer to being on the road. The dyno can also simulate wind resistance as if you were driving down the road. It's pretty trick. Probably the same dyno.
