Was out in the driveway wrapping up a front diff bearing install on my FJ. I was installing the wheel and tire and realized I've got a confession that's been kept secret for 30 years. I've literally told no-one....So here goes.....
Back when I was 16 and a new driver, I had a 1972 Datsun 510. Painted Guards Red, lowered, 2.0 liter L20B engine swap with a cam and dual carbs. It was sweet. I had the old American Racing style slot mag wheels on it. One day, I got the idea that the car would look a lot better if I lined up the wheels. So i jacked it up and carefully rotated the wheels around so that when you looked at each side the slots in the slot mags were all positioned in the same place rotationally. I was very proud of myself. Of course the first time I drove it after all my hard work went out the window. As if this wasnt embarrassing enough, it took me a couple days of hard, internal, thought process to figure out what had happened.
