fastrack in peabody.

i've heard very good thigns about them

 

Does rimpro do alignments? I thought they just fixed wheels.

 

yea I think they do, but I'm game for this other place if it's supposed to be good, mikie you going with your -3 again!?

EDIT: yea I'm down for FasTrack, looks like a good facility there

 

i'm keeping the same settings:

front:
-3 degrees camber
1/4" toe out

rear:
-1 degrees camber
0" toe out

my tires are worn evenly, so i think it's pretty good. if anyone wants to auto-x you can move the toe out to the rear. that will really get the car rotating at lower speeds, but i wouldn't use it on a road course.

anyone up for a fender rolling party if i get one of these in the spring?

we can practice on the jeep and any other beaters before trying the nice cars

 

totally stole my idea Sometimes we scare me.

 

i never really find it scary. i find it more comforting knowing that someone else's brain [dys]functions similarly to mine.

 

i should be down with a spring alignment. i'll probably just go with stock settings.

 

Does anyone know if we can make more camber on the stock suspension? Or does anyone know what the stock camber is?

 

here ya go.

i'm not sure if the IX is the same, though

i's need to learn more about suspension

 

suspension should be the same. I think those are just camber bolts. I was considering getting camber plates. I know works makes one.

 

8 and 9 camber is the same

 

i will learn you sometime. it's actually not all that complicated in theory. there is some art to it though- there are a lot of good general rules, but again, you have to try different things and really see what works.

the biggest thing is you have to account for how the car will be driven and make sure it is set up properly.

 

so here is the quote of the day for me....i was reading this article about fortune 500 companies that were involved with the *****. One of them is Siemens. I guess they tried to market a line named after Zyklon (the gas used in the holocaust). The author writes:

"Well, a few years ago, in an act of insensitive ****ery so colossal it could blot out the sun, Siemens tried to trademark the name "Zyklon" with the intent of marketing a series of products under the name. Including gas ovens."

Are people REALLY that obtuse?

 

Yeah building a decent street setup is pretty simple. I would really like to get to -2 or more camber so i think camber plates will be the only way to go. I am trying to get most of my modding done for spring so i can focus my expendable cash on track days For street, stock everything and some springs is perfectly fine.
