I take to addison wheel alignment. It's an old school shop but he's very good.

http://www.addisonwheelalignment.com/

$138 for an alignment and he will do them to your specs. Takes his time and gets the job done right. Nice guy too.

That would be O.G. dsm ****e right there, I remember moments when members at a dsm meet would need extra zip ties,hoses etc.. and people would just randomly come up with parts they had in their cars to help a dsmer out, the good ol days. Non of this evo-prestige bs.

O.G.? Hell, that was last year's shootout.

Head swaps, timing belt changes, motor mount...er..."fabrication", all in hotel parking lots. Wasn't it two years ago that someone trailered their car to the Econolodge in Norwalk, Marco met them with a fresh shortblock when he pulled in the night before racing, and they slapped it together and ran the next day?

Good times.
