How much do spacers cost?

Is there anything that can be done to forestall any potential wheel bearing wear? Better grease? Just guessing.

Fuhrius,

I thought RMS leaks were primarily on pre-2000 Boxsters. I was surprised to read that you had one too. I also have a 2001. What happened in your case of an RMS leak?

Actually one of my Kumhos IS ever so slightly out of round, as determined by a Hunter 9700 wheel balancer.

I just haven't had the time to ask Kumho about this.

He was probably only going like 40mph. The wide angle lense distorts the speed.

Polite "beep" for alarm being armed?

My Lexus sounds a nice polite "beep" that signals that the alarm has been armed. It is a short and not too loud "beep" that sounds more like "bink"--not like those obnoxious squaks that cheap...

How much nitrous would it take to get my 2.7L to be the same as a 3.2L? 50-shot? 75? Would I need to increase the fuel-pump size?

Sharp "Crack!" when car is twisted

When I turn up a steep ramp (e.g. sometimes when turning into a parking lot), I hear a sharp "crack!" sound. Actually maybe more like a loud "Knock!" sound from the suspension or chassis. If the 2...
