Hey Slick who did your alignment?

FRS_Ken · 06-13-2015, 12:53 AM

I had @Slick install my rear Eibach sway and 2more pairs of Cusco adjustable rear links and the Cusco differential brace on Thursday. He also found a possible cause of my blown brake fuses - a melted wiring harness due to hanging on the muffler, he re-routed it and taped it up for me

Even without the alignment done I could feel a difference.

So Friday morning I was out at Mainstreet Automotive in North Gower and they installed my front Eibach sway bar and did the alignment. All of those adjustable links really complicate the alignment process!

Turns out my right front had an extra 1.25deg of camber since the last alignment.

The whole thing feels so tight and grounded now.

My APR CF GT3 mirrors are still a pain to get adjusted just right, but I'm getting used to them. Still not as useful as the stock ones with the anti-blindspot mirror glass I had though

I had it done at Getty Automotive on Canotek off Montreal Rd/174. He does great work, dude is more OCD than me.

Got my alignment bang on to my specs, car feels great now.

I think the most important question would be is the alignment rack in-ground? lol

I'm terrified to get my car onto our rack at work. MY jack doesn't even fit under my car anymore

#lowisalifestyle

I forgot the woes of being lowered lmao

Slick · 06-13-2015, 01:37 PM

Not in ground but he spent time modifying it to sit lower, and also longer ramps for a better approach. He told me the only car that has ever scraped was an S10 truck that sat 1" off the ground. He had a dropped & stanced S14 in there last week.

Is there a meet tonight?

UMB FR-S · 06-13-2015, 09:11 PM

Spotted! Oblivious Andre sitting at 10th and charlemage lights 5 min ago. My frantic hand waving didn't get his attention maybe my heavy throttle did after my turn?

Dreamer · 06-13-2015, 09:43 PM

I'm back in Nova Scotia on Vacation so I won't be back for a meet until week after next, but I'm looking at around 10 for the 1morelap. Though depends on a few things for me. I've never tracked before, but this seems affordable to start.

LOL, my wife pointed you out as you were going across, I honked after you got through.

If you haven't tracked, then 1MoreLap is probably not an option for you, experienced drivers only.
Come to the MCO full day on Friday!

^This! I'll be there as well as a few others. Hell my brother who owns a Mini Cooper S will be there. He was as hooked as I was after the one day of Autocross school with MCO a couple of weeks ago. Pretty awesome group.

Really? There's some terribly false advertising going on here, then.

Specific dates may be more geared to newer drivers but most 1 more lap events require previous experience. You can always email Greg if there are any questions.
