Anywho, if you have any random ideas about the whole leaning situation you saw with my car don't be afraid to speak up, lol, i'm startin to run out of plausible solutions for it.

Springs...........

About all first gens have a "leaning" issue on the drivers side. This come from spring sag on the left front. Our cars may be balanced as far as front to back, BUT corner to corner weight sucks. The left front corner of our cars bears the most weight. I can't remember if you have replaced your springs or not, but that would be the first place that I would start.

Long. All that I can say is, DAMN. What a freakin turbo. What do feed that thing? Small animals?

Well Now there's the good and the bad. When driving the car with the 45r it is a lot lagyer then the 35r,
But you just slightly give it some gas and man all you hear is LOUD turbo wislle !!!
And when it hits full boost I just Kraped in my panties!!!!!DAMN It pulls HARD!! now on to the bad I think that my alternator is giving up. When driving it is showing 13amps but I could
hit the brakes and the motor would just about die and the lights would dimm, Let off the brakes
an it would all be good, and the amps would drop to 11-12 So I'll fix that when I get back up. LOL.

Thanks to all the guys who braved the heat and came out. I feel so much better about my FB and Long's FB. We both waxed a fairly new Porshe. And it wasn't no stinken Boxster. It looked like a 911 Carrera S. Out pulled him from 1rst thru 3rd What a great feeling!

Anthony. You better get that vid loaded!

The website I usually use to upload the vids is down. Sam, I can try to email them to you and see if you want to post them on youtube? They're pretty short so I don't know if you can link them together...lemme know.
