In all seriousness, Eddy just kills it still, if you just listen you would never know an old man is playing. He is just unbelievable - ageless. His bro and someone's son on bass sounded tight too. I have to give it to Dave, he aint perfect but he makes it fun.
You are right, dude did not need to stick his goatee face in the video that many times.


Update - seats are in and I am taking test run NOW crossing fingers.

Someone explain to me why my seat belts are stock locked. It takes forever to get them to release, what gives?

Truths:

I did not like my alignment, it was to jumpy/twicthy on the road, too much for a daily driver. What I did like was turn in and taking a series of turns, car felt nice. Any straight where I got on it I was not comfortable, car was all over. Car drives straight, just on power its weird going straight.

That said the car is not running right, I have a idle at 2000 and sometimes its stumbles, bogs / hesitates when you nail the throttle. If I roll on throttle car just takes off, pulls much harder than before. I never was able to really get on it, but I just drove it hard and it moves. Now it needs to be fine tuned, prolly 3 months LOL

Stock seats are comfortable, nice and clean right now what a difference. The race seats were a little punishing for a daily. Stock seat belts are a pleasure too, to be honest if you are daily driving.

But I think my assumptions were reasonable in favor of hunter. The real question is the true potential accuracy of their elite alignment rack.
I domintate speculation! I can ask the guys over @ R/T Tuning what the accuracy of their machine is. I honestly don't know a thing about what their literature says or doesn't say with regard to the accuracy statement you mentioned. I do know, however, that any shop worth their weight isn't going to invest the kind of time and money it takes to get a piece of equipment like that if doing it the old school method works just as well.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter what method you use as long as your car feels right. I am happy using an 'elite alignment rack'.

I like that except i think it favors weight too much. If you do it without the weight it would be more fair. You're basically giving up a second for each pound... not too fair.

autox run (pax time) + track lap + kart lap = king of domination.

funniest **** I've seen in a while.

I would guess the reason is time. A shop can probably do 10 or more alignments with a good machine in the time it takes to string it. I know I would not want to make a business of stringing cars...

As long as it feels good, it must be aight Otherwise you'd be alwaysinalignmentshop.
