fantastic thread DB! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to us!

 

any good place to get alignment in new jersey?



-mike

 

I found a local shop that builds road race miatas and is supposed to do a mean alignment, to your specs. I'm going to see if I can get in there tomorrow before heading to the track.

 

Muellerized......FTW.

 

great write up dave. makes perfect sense and this is something that alot of us have been over looking for a long time. more great knowledge shared for the rest of us!

 

its not like you weren't trying to push buttons or anything there Mr. Innocent. you might have to mess with your 4G63 a little longer to keep up with dave's Evo, then you could prolly talk

 

Just had Robi dial my car in yesterday. It is a totally different beast now, telepathic turn-in.

 

After reading this I finally got a four wheel alignment...and what a shock! My Evo previously ran a 10.98@128 on the before specs! Crazy, I wonder how she would run now. Speacial thanks to Kevin at Belltire in BayCity Michigan for the great job and it only cost $50 bucks! Here are the results without cas/cam plates:

FT:Left Before/Actual FT:Right Before/Actual
camber:-1.3/-1.3 camber:-1.0/-1.0
caster:+3.3/+3.3 caster:+3.5/+3.5
toe: +.50/-.03 toe: -.19/+.02

Rear:Left Before/Actual Rear:Right Before/Actual
camber: -1.5/-.07 camber:-1.8/-.09
toe: -.06/+.16 toe: +.06/+.11

Front Summery Before/After
Cross Camber:-.3/-.3
Cross Caster:-.2/-.2
Total Toe: +.31/.00

Rear Summery Before/After
Cross Camber: +.3/+.2
Total Toe: -.01/+.26
Thrust Angle: -.06/+.02

In a nut shell my evo feels alot more stable at higher speeds and the steering wheel is dead center with no pull either way. So thanks David Buschur for this thread! Oh for the record, my evo has 2,900 miles on her,just in case one was curious.

 

Alright! I've been waiting on you guys to get this up and going. It was mentioned sometime awhile back that this service would be provided. Looks like when I come up to get re-tuned I'll also want to get a new alignment. I've been asking around Dayton where a good place was, but kept putting it off.

razorlab,

Nowhere in my post did I mention how long I have been working on 4g63's. If you are bragging that you have been doing it for 9 years, you'll need to brag to someone else. Come November I've been doing it 18 years.

 

My brothers car has been to the track quite a bit lately. He ran 11.01 at 129 mph last night on pump+alky. Car has a 2 liter in it and our GT35R kit. I am going to try and put an alignment on it tomorrow if I can find the time and he is going back to race it tomorrow night with no other changes. Wants it in the 10's on pump+alky and then is going to put race gas in it and see what it runs. Be interesting to see if the alignment effects the car.

 

might as well stop now Dave. these idiots are prolly willing to keep pushing buttons to get another banning going. its a shame that idiots like themselves try to ruin a thread that contributes good info like this.

mods might need to send out a pm to warn these two. would like to continue seeing the feedback from members who get there alignments redone and posting their results here.

freshsrt4, You are correct. I will put them on ignore.

Thanks for the reminder, I was getting a little ticked off.
