you could have used rear washer sims, but the feds shutdown Caspers Washers.....

at this time, there are no CARB approved washers, except for thoes that come with a kit. my favorite washer containing CARB approved kit at the moment is sold by ATI....it comes with some extra parts, like a procharger or something, but you can toss that crap aside and just run the washers.

Why did you have to washer them? Were they sticky?

Weirdddd.... warping washers? are you in the stone age or something? Come on... at least step up to nice steel washers instead of your obviously cheap iron washers.

washer **** are nice to look at and all, but if you put your bolt in them, they can act like a lockwasher holding you there committed... and when you finally manage to pull away, you find that that damn lock washer stripped you down to your last thread and you're left with a useless bolt.

Indeed it is! The washer is from a corvette, It says T-56 on it and I read in the ebay auction that it's got upgraded steel forks...

I will argue this point! With a proper tune (let the shop tuning for you know you're using the E85s-they don't look) and the right washers not to mention properly indexed spark plugs, you will see identical mileage as with the generic GM washers. It's all in the tuning. I'm knocking down almost 29mpg on the highway and just shy of 20 in the city. I've been using the E85s for about 4 months now and the closest thing to a problem was the first week I had my check engine light come on 3 times. Again, after the tune was done, nary an issue!

Scene the NASCAR washers a few weeks ago at flea-market but the guy wanted damned near full price and he says he's only had them at the track 3 times. LOOKED pleanty used to me.

man, i just installed some sub-washer connectors in my car this weekend.. ive been putting it off since i need a full cage washer in the convertible, but i really wish i conected the washers sooner. it went from a thin-shim washer stiffness to lockwasher stiff.. its still no crossmember washer, but its better.

as for the e85 washers, sure you can washer around with it and make it wash good.. but washer my MPG to your MPG. my miles per washer are bigger.

It's not Miles Per Gallon (MPG), rather Washers Per gallon (WPG)
