RE: Next Twisted Sisters run.
Saturday, January 19th will work for me.

The next weekend on the 27th is SASCA Autox. Next Coffee & Rides on the 26th. So, the 19th sounds about right.

Also NTB for 199 will guarantee a alignment and do unlimited alignments for 5 years.

+1

I bet getting rid of all that toe-in in the rear made a huge difference. That would have kept the tail of your car from swinging as wide at all speeds below sliding, I bet that's made a bigger difference in your handling than the additional camber. Well, that and the perfectly vertical front tire.

And thanks for the heads up about NTB, I didn't know they would set it to the specs you ask for. Firestone told me to pound sand when I asked, so I figured all tire places would be like that.

Yeah, NTB was super nice and did all I asked. As far as the twisted sisters on the 19th I will be out of town that 4 day so I will have to sadly miss that. The new alignment makes a huge diff. I would say that and a good set of tires are the best bang for buck if you love assaulting corners.

Hi guys!! Just wanted to come say hi. I haven't seen many 86's in the area other than a super dirty orange FRS in the parking lot of La Cantera (dude, clean your car!). And I think a guy in Boerne who works at Autozone owns a red FRS.

Anyway, if you see a girl in a SWP BRZ in the Boerne/NW SA area, it's probably me!

I am looking forward to getting my RCE's and alignment parts on and set up. I'll be going with NTB as well, that's not a bad price.

Edit: are you just running the WL rear chamber bushing and crash bolts?

Well I drive an HL FR-S that's always dirty, but I am rarely at La Cantera so that isn't me.

Welcome to the group, I think I've seen you around once or twice.

That's odd, I usually stay in the Castle Hill area when I am in town and have never seen another Hot Lava. Lots of others, but never another HL
