The seals that Vortech uses are fucking garbage, along with the bearings.

There's a company that makes their own seals that are supposed to resolve the issues with the original. They use a different material and also a light tension spring. I hadn't planned on replacing the the bearings because they aren't making noise but I broke one on the compressor shaft while pressing the impeller off so I'm going to replace those. They're the ones that usually go bad anyways because they are on the high speed side.

Tons of companies make spring guard seals for that. Vortech cheaps out.

I think he is referring to the Hummer H1 rims he got some time back.

Well H1 is slang for the non-military hmmwv, So H1 wheels are the military 8 lug wheels, and to run them on most trucks you need to re-center them. And this is my test wheel so I could figure out the process.

Next time you find a deal on a C5 for 5k, and you decide not to 'pull the trigger,' send it my way. Ill buy it, and give you $100. I will also swear my undying allegiance to you, and forever concede that are correct about everything. Win, win, win.

What kinda new?
I'll be finishing the MX5 in a week or so, at which point it will have a fully rebuilt engine, literally brand new set of brakes, essentially new top. You've seen it. I'll give you a good deal if it's the sort of thing you might like. Fun to drive, easy to park in cities, easy on the gas.
