I paid 80 bucks each axle on ebay. just need to make offers on the ones that are on there.

I had left the twists on because I took a run up to Edmonton and back and the PS2s are most certainly more quiet than the 615s (on the OZs), and I was going to take it to the track in the middle of September.

I have just been informed that the track day was cancelled (our province is on fire...), so they will be going back on today, if I can find some time.

Brake light switch. I installed a new Facet one but the brake lights stayed on. I tried adjusting it but they stayed on. When I pushed the button with my fingers it worked and installed the pedal contacts the switch so I don't know what's wrong.
Also put in new rear drop links.

I hate chasing electrical gremlins; usually ends up with the car back in the shop and me cursing loudly.

Did you pull the button all the way out first? There's a ratchet inside that lets the brake pedal push the button in the very first time it's installed. If the switch is uninstalled the button can be pulled out, which resets the ratchet.

I took them off because I did not like the weird look of the front tyre being taller than the rear. Pics for reference in the 660 thread.

Ok, now convinced my PS2s are shot, because the 615s are so much better.

A good run in this AM, I love it when there's no one else on the road.
