How did you guys balance your rims? Did you add a piece of aluminum somewhere to machine balance that and leave the CF as it was/ Did you just balance the wheels and hubs as a unit?

hmmmmmmmm

Balance? Extra weight...

I think '04 has only spent 2-3 min. of its life at "tire balance" speeds. I have been driving on the carbon wheels since March with a couple high speed Auto-X at Texas Motor Speedway road course with speeds at 90-100 mph with no vibrations. There's not much weight in the outer part of the wheel and we offset the seam of the tire from the valve.

Say it ain't so, I can't imagine UTA keeping somethin on the "hush hush."

Our cure is to just vent the diff. I was quite suprised to hear that you guys didn't do this.

I am confused as to whether the Taylor-Race Engineering/Quaife differential is vented and sealed, not vented and sealed, vented and not sealed, or not vented and not sealed.
