Caster affects how easily the wheel turns back to straight after a corner. If there is an adjustment you usually max it out. usually there is no adjustment.

so adding more -caster would be moving the wheel towards the rear of the car?

oh nevermind I figured it out. so the wheel doesnt actually "move" that much

and i saw someone saying they flipped the UCArms side to side

This was my view a couple weeks ago. Bricktown is walking distance from my office. It's a pretty cool entertainment district.

Those PCI Bearings are easy to install.. just two bolts.. no pressing. you dont have to worry about lining anything up, the rod goes through after you have the bearing in so no worries before hand. hope it works out.

I know I'm most likely alone here.. but I'm stoked for the Daytona 500!

did something happen?

they really shouldnt wear out.

if it wore out, there is something wrong, almost always... like, using an N1 pulley , some tiny underdrive pulley, etc.

never rebuild, realistically, when an New OEM one (for a vtec engine-higher volume) is like, cheap.

I watched it too. Was kinda pissed that Jr. got taken out in the last few laps. The dedication of the 3rd lap to The Intimadator was pretty cool/intense.

i have the N1 crank pulley, but i don't think 2.5 months of driving will kill it. it was suggested that I upgrade my oil pump from the stock OBD-0 B18a1 to a newer one. All this stems from my oil pressure fluctuating. Last week it wouldn’t go above 30 and the last 2 days doesn’t want to go below 40. No idea what’s going on. Said my pick-up could be clogged or oil pump needs replacing but I’ve had like 3 oil changes and my oil pan was off last month and there was nothing wrong. So I dunno. Going to put on an oil pressure gauge b/c maybe the sender I have going to the tunerview is screwy.

At warm idle, pressures should be around 20. While driving I think 30-40 is the average. When mine is cold it can get as high as 60. I'm running an ITR pump on my LS(which is the same as all newer(after 95) b series oil pumps)

I always liked Nascar, but the last couple years I have really gotten into it, going to a race changes it all! It sucked to see him get taken out so close to the end, making a good run too. Everyone loves crashes, i get it.. but when its the guy your rooting for, it sucks! The dedication of Nascar fans is serious, that lap 3 silence, that was powerful, cant find that in every sport.

So after a few days of high 50's.. woke up to another 4-6 inches of snow. The world is coming to an end.

Yeah my warm idle is like 21-22 and driving was ranging between 30-40something. I don’t think I hit over 50. But in the last 2 weeks it’s gone all screwy and have no clue what’s going on.
