    ...for that matter, when is this level of uncontrolled thread drift going to set TC off? Is he too busy flying Magnum around in that helicopter to notice?

    Actually, I took the street wheels to a brand new DT here on Davis Blvd. in Keller to have new street tires mounted last week, and they did a pretty good job. Cost for four wheels and roadforce balancing was $60, so if Sammmmmm hasn't worked a deal before before tomorrow, I might see if I can talke them into a TCB deal for track tire mounting & balancing.

    Discount mounted my AVS-ES100s on my 17" BBS for the Passat and handled the job nicely... no nicks, scrapes, or cuts on anybody's part and parts. I think DTs are highly subjective.... you have to find a good one and stick to it.

    Did the search for a TCB tire mounting shop ever result in anything? I may have some new wheels and tires coming soon from separate locations, and need to find a shop.

    Do a search! :P

    I don't know what the Oklahoma contingent does for tire mounting. Us westerly folks worked out a deal with Goodyear Tire on Bedford Euless Road just south of North East Mall. Mention DFWMiata.com and $40 should get you a set of wheels and tires mounted and balanced.

    Hey folks, I mentioned that I had a tire changer purchased recently from Discount. I had sent my 6.5 hp, 35 gallon tank Craftsman air compressor for repair and was told today the cost of repair would be more than a new one just like it. I ordered a new commercial type, 60 gallon tank unit from them today and should have it next week. Then I will be able to mount tires for anyone who wants to bring them to the Hamlet of Haslet, about 12 miles north of downtown Fort Worth, or 10 miles south of TMS. I work cheap too...

    I have a feeling OzCop is going to have so much Canadian Club by the end of the year he could float a battleship.

    BTW Phil - aren't you supposed to be in El Paso?

    We decided not to go. The car is still on jack stands in the garage, but will be picked up by Wayne today, and taken to Lewisville at 5th Gear for alignment and corner weighting. I hate to travel that far in a car that has not been tested, or properly set-up following major suspension stuff...We just hope the car will get out of its own way...

    Yep, we will be there. I have to work at TMS all day Saturday, so Wayne will be dragging the car out there Sunday AM... All I have to do is drag myself out there, a perfect opportunity to take a crisp morning drive in the Miata...probably before daylight since I have to help with course set-up...
