I did not ask about non-oem specs beforehand, really should have just told them to do everything but the front camber.

Firestone did it since I have a lifetime alignment with them. Not sure if it was just an overzealous tech, or if they get docked pay for specs that don't meet OEM ranges.

Try a different tech. Could be a store thing but I dont have issues at my Firestone. Or try a different Firestone. I think the lifetime is good at all (I havent tried this though)

Fairfield refuses to work on my car since "it's too low." Concord is the nearest one that would touch "really low" cars. I'll just see when the tech that did the first alignment is in, and ask for him. He corrected everything but the front camber (left those around -1.8*, and didn't fcuk up the wheels).

Dang, they're both pretty cute in a "girl I hung out with in college but never lead to anything because I'm "so funny" like her brother" kind of way.

@sdlynx I think you need to figure out how to get a roof scoop

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ2csVvmwuY"]FIRST TEST - FIAT 124 ABARTH R-GT - SOUND & SHOW - YouTube[/ame]

I wonder what FIA group this car will be in. Maybe R3 like the GT86 CS-R3? but that's dominated by FWD right now, or perhaps R-GT, which is mostly 911 GT3's?

R-GT: "two doors, two wheel drive, naturally aspirated or turbocharged or supercharged, no limit on engine size (though larger engine does mean higher minimum weight), must be a production car with at least 200 road models built per year, and must have a trunk of at least 75dm^3"

I could be wrong, but I think the title of the video right there says it:
"FIRST TEST - FIAT 124 ABARTH R-GT"

Poor guy sounds like he has a cold. Sneezing the whole time during the video.

Sweet music to fall asleep to. Just put it on loop.

Happy Monday all.

Things I like about the kouki 86...taillights, steering wheel, and the dash pieces (I should say piece since it's one instead of two). Gotta wait for the pre-delivery inspection to be done so I can see how it drives.
