Removed the 6 X 15 Fuchs and installed 5 1/2 X 15 Steel Wheels with new Verdestein 185/ 70 tires. Next project will be to replace the steelies with the alloy versions.
At least you didn't leave it sitting on top of the air cleaner like I did once. =)Quote:

I gave the car no quarter; four run sessions on Saturday and four run sessions on Sunday with multiple starts each day and a final race on Sunday. The car never missed a beat despite the awful screeching and grinding sounds every time I pressed the clutch. :D
Then, on Sunday night as I was loading the car onto the trailer...
Ouch! Those trailer loadings are hard on a car. You should know better :D
