Nothing for a little while Dave. Time to sit back and enjoy it so far

I removed the RHS wheels, washed, polished, wheel waxed, rotated & adjusted the tyre pressures.
I had alot of trouble actually getting the wheels off the car after removing the bolts, hence only one side was done. Tomorrow for the LHS.

Today I pulled out a good sized nail from the left rear tyre.
But it looks like it didn't go through. Then I washed the dirty little girl.

Got my wheels rotated and aligned. Should make the tyres last a bit longer now. Speaking of which, is it normal practice to do balancing when you rotate wheels? Toe for both fronts were adjusted from -0.08" to 0.00". The camber some how got adjusted too...
I thought it was not adjustable?

It might be just what I have picked up, but I always balance the tyres when I rotate them rear to front on any car I work on. It just eliminates one more variable when it comes to driveline shudder.Originally posted by DaveMack View Post

Went and gave my Pogo a good wash and cleaned the interior. I'm heading down to Hidden Vally for Off Street Drags tomorrow night to give it a run. Should be fun.

I have to agree with the Blitzen and thats just diligence on your part mate to balance on a rotate, good work, balance can go out through time and you might introduce a gremlin from the rear to the front. Back in the day mate they used to balance them on the vehicle which was the go and this eliminated anything going on in the drive line and hubs. HAve fun at Hidden Valley mate , i used to live in Jingli mate!!!!! love it up there
