How does the Eneos compare to Royal Purple? I was wondering this, I was debating if I wanted to get some of this oil, but I haven't heard about anyone running it yet.
I don't have the time to go through this and find out if he ever got around to the UOA of Eneos later in the thread, but do look through it:

UOA from the VQ35

Although not specific to what it is being compared to, this explores measurable differences between ENEOS, other synthetics, and conventional oil:

haha ben, he was actually iffy about doing this at is house... coz that means the porsche and audi will stay outside for a whole day.

corner balancing is making sure that the weight of the car is distributed on all 4 tires, well not necessarily even. think of a chair with 4 legs being even on the ground.... if you car is not balanced, it's like a chair that has 1 or 2 legs not even and it rocks diagonally. so corner balancing is making sure all "4 legs" of you car is carrying the whole car evenly.... hence it has to be 50/50 cross weight. this will help a lot on the car's handling when turning.
i think you explained it to me like this last time LOL.

When did Benny get a P Car?!?!

hahaha.


hmmm he got it sometime in may or so but didnt pick up til august or so... he bought the Arlan motorsports shop car, it's the boxster S with all GT2 parts in it... pretty crazy little boxster.


bjeong1381: well i havent found an article that states which one to do first.... it really depends. if you are chaging a lot of alignment and if corner balance is not the off, then align first then CB.... if the CB is way off, then CB first and align. from experience, we usually do align then CB... as long as you sit in the car when they align, then after CB the alignment shouldnt change that much. if not then align again. now we have a camber tool, we will check camber first before CB and note the change after.

I'm down for this but I don't have a paypal account. Is the pre payment required or can I just show up and pay the full price?
