    idles smooth at 900. ran quite a bit better since i figured out the dist cap thing.

    tsk, i have a crappy cell phone camera as my only option. probably doesnt help that it was dark out and kinda breezy. (perhaps the exhaust looks/ssounds that way from cams being retarded about 8* or my exhaust choice? [3 inch exhaust and different muffler])

    ill look for a new ice patch so i can re vid the schenario. (its been doing this for about 40000 miles city driving and 10k heavy track driving so im not too worried, its just annoying.)

    are you sure your wheel is not bent? have you tried slapping on different wheels all together or just tires?
    I hate wheel gap with a extreme passion

    yep ive tried. several sets of tires, and rotated wheels several times. it still does it no matter which wheel is on the rear or spinning. even tried with a spare.

    when jacked up the wheel doesnt wobble like a bent rim either. the wobble vanishes off weight.

    Well, one of the t-tops wasn't latched real well… God only knows where that t-top flew off to at 150+ mph. Didn't scratch the car or anything, just a boom and it was gone. I sure as hell didn't stop to see where it went. I didn't see any stories on the news… so that's a plus.
