Guess I got lucky with my shake. Turned out the right front lost a weight. Did they road force balance the tires? If they had to put a bunch of weights on to balance them, then it's possible the tire is "out of round"(too much runout) and no amount of balancing will get the shake out.

They were balanced when I bought all the tires... Each wheel has a different size weight and only one... unless there is more on the inside of the wheel...

I had a horrible shake after a recent trip of about 100 miles to look at a Motorcycle that I ended up not buying.
Three days ago I had a blowout on my front right tire.....
Shake is now mostly gone! Still a minor one though.. guess it's normal for these cars. Looking at my front left closely, as it's the same tire and may be going out soon..

I would really like to make it out. Im just not sure if I can due to the busy work schedule. I know Liz has hit me up about going. I really want to go. I will have to see if I can take some vacation time so I can make it.

But I am scared to death after the way it ran today that I will never make it out to Aurora with it. I had to get off the interstate and take the in town roads just to meet up with Liz and Erik today.

Ok. I have determined part of the Complete power shut down on the Highway is related to the Traction Control or Traction Control Sensor. Didnt start til I get the 2 new front tires. When I turn off the Traction control, it still has the hesitation that it always has had since I bought it, but I can take it on the highway and the power dont drop out from under me. I will be there.

**UPDATE** Repalced TPS sensor, running alot better, still contending with other Gremlins, but car is kickin down now at least. Throttle body could use a good cleaning. Looked at the four front plugs and wires and they look fine and was able to tell the plugs and wires have been replaced within the last 100K miles. I am ruling them out as an issue and moving on to Coils and fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator, possibly Cat Converter.

i am still planning on coming but my paint kind of went to the wayside. i just ran out of time and money, so no i did not get my car painted . i am bummed, but in a way relieved cus i am not worrying about getting in done before school, and doing a good job on it. i think its gonna have to wait till next summer, but i am gonna try and save up my money and get it professionally done, so i know it will be done right, plus i want a couple custom touches that i would like to add that i could not do. so we will see how that turns out. i am still planing on coming and really looking forward to meeting all of you. Aurora MO or Bust.

Unless you get right up on Liz's car you really cant tell, and I have spots on mine that I am going to have to touch up. There is really on aurora out there thats completely perfect except for maybe Collins, but that car was his grandma's car and only had less than 40K on it when he got it.

Collins i hope you went over those with proper purple since then

i am not to worried about it. the only thing i am worried about is the rust spots. i have several rust spots, and with new paint, those would be fixed. i just dont want the rust to spread. the rest of my paint aint horrible, but it has lots of small bad spots that bug me.

Mine has surface scratches on alot of the panels and there is an Oxidized spot right on my Pilar by the gas tank as well as some paint missing from the rear bumber. Going to have to get some touch up paint before the meet. Liz and I are in the process of several mods on both the Silver Bullette and Scarlette right now. When all is done with our fleet of Rora's heads are gonna turn and Jaws are gonna drop.

Lance,
Your sounding like me. Your your cars worst critic. Posted some pics earlier. The Silver Bullet is comming along nicely. Lots more planned but my lips are sealed. Its gonna be worth attending the meet guys just so you can see our fierce fleet of ladies.

Sweet! Correction on my shop. It has three bays and I don't have a lift at this moment. And one of the bays is tied up with my Aurora and van.
I will be attending the meet, no reason not to, with or without my Aurora.

Still planning on coming. I believe Dan is car pooling with me as it stands now. Unfortunately I suffer from this horrible disease called life. It tends to throw curves every now and then. Like two hit and runs in a 24 hour time frame.... But if all is well and I can afford it....we will be there.
