Default Props to Steve at SPI

Today I had my alignment done at Simone Performance Imports in Newmarket. Laser alignment, they know Nissans, they understand performance cars, they set up track cars and they sorted out some issues that I didn't even know I had. Call them - it's worth the drive!

PM Sent.
Just a reminder - I run an NX and not a Z car. My car has a completely reworked suspension that causes most alignment shops to shudder - coilovers, camber plates, castor bushings etc.

(oops, those are fighting words!) I'm still having fun with my NX and will keep pushing it to the limits. This winter I found a Z that really tempted me, 03 with low mileage and maroon colour, but from emails figured out it was auto and that spoiled that. Once my kids are done University I can will consider it -- but I've got a few friends who really think that I should get an STi.

STi is a blast to drive on straights, but will disappoint you on track.

True but you can still throw them around pretty good; and just like a Z car with the right work it's an awesome machine. Check out this link http://www.armsinc.ca/phpbb2/viewtop...006&highlight= and note that the car in question is actually a WRX. I've known the owner for a few years and this Subaru is incredibly competitive.

But taking my thread back on topic - Simone Performance Imports subdivision is SPI Racing. Track heritage here!

Dave, you know I'm always up for a day at the track! It just has to be a road course and not a quarter mile
