"Plan B" Racecar for season opener
The Audi Car Club Chicago Chapter first autoX of the season is next Saturday at The Tire Rack test track. My Passat winter build is NOT DONE!
I just registered my 2000 Grand Cherokee. I guess I've finally made the jump to AWD, but not the normal way. It'll still be fun and a challenge. :driving:

I'm pretty sure I managed Slowest Time of the Day.
I didn't even look at the pressures. I just ran them as they came out of the service area. I couldn't push them at all because they were so freshly mounted the rim/bead was still wet. I just focused on choosing good lines and smooth control. After lunch, enough time went by that I pushed on them some, but I didn't want to go too hard. It was a fun day.
The wheel weights they stuck on the inside of the rims were ever-so-slightly brushing the front calipers as they went around. I was getting a scrape, scrape, scrape sound with the wheels rotating. While poking around trying to figure out the source of that noise I discovered excess play in the drivers side TRE. :hmmm: It's always something.
When I got home I replaced the TRE and took an angle grinder to the front calipers. I took just a touch off the surface where the weights were touching. Much mo betta' now. Next up is a visit to a Firestone service center to take advantage of the lifetime alignment. :thumbup:
