Talk about not getting personal! What is your malfunction. I defended your position . I agreed that using outboard hats would alter the position of the wheel by brining it closer to the outside (the fender) I also agreed that using aluminum for a part that was going to be subjected to more stress and using a weaker material for the part was a bad idea. I also pointed out that the oyher posters stattement that the use of outboard hats would not alter the position of the wheels was not really accurate because most people wouldn't be willing to order new wheels with altered offsets which would be neccesary to make his statement ( about the wheel position not changing untrue). Sure he could get the wheels and dimensions to wind up just about anywhere he wanted to if he is willing to spend a ridiculous amount of money. Before I would spend another $ to make new wheels with adjusted offsets to compensate fot the repositionng of the wheels furthur out and closer to the fenders I would spend the money on CV joints and custom rear suspension that would improve the accesability of the rear rotors and improve the transfer of power to the rear wheels, and improve on the antiquated ball bearings. You still didn't pick up on the fact that I was supporting your basic position that any convinience you might pick up using aluminum hats to install outboard hats was out weighed by the additional problems that such a modification might cause. Aparently you don't like people agreeing with you anymoore then you like people disagreeing with you. Why do you bother gettinng involved in a diaoluge. Just send your self an e-mail and then you probably won't get into a disagreement. But if this last exchange is any example you will probably still argue even though you are the only one participating. You have no idea how I use my car, how it is equipped and how I drive it. So before you tell me to just paint my calipers take a look in the mirror. I'm not convinced you even know what that guy is doing with his car let alone what I am doing with mine. I have had several sports cars over the years that ranged from stock to race equipped and not street legal. I have also had an offshore race boat, a worked 750CC Kawasaki race jet ski and a variety of motorcycles. I crashed my NSX at over 150MPH. So don't assume to tell me what to do with My Pantera. I don't talk about my other go fast stuff because this is a pantera forum. What happened ? Did they throw you off the Cobra forum or did you stop participating because you already knew everything?
