If you DD it, then you'll eat tires quickly just driving it around town.

I've seen guys drive cars (not Z's necessarily) on the street with -1 to -1.5º of camber up front then get to the autox and adjust the front up to -2.5 to -3º. After then event, they have to set it back.
Thats where my Firestone lifetime alignment service comes in handy =)


SHAWN do yall deal with a glass company? I need a new windshield....Lance and Bradley apparently know someone with a hook up but they have yet to come through for me...im assuming its because im white but I dont know...

Wedge Kyes ( I think that's the spelling) is a place Dave told me about. It is located on Airline right next to Mikes Audio. They do corner balancing as well.

That's cool, but you will have probably have to go see Soleil on the ****. I had to move my tinter over there, because one of my other installers had some legal issues with the military.

I doubt it. I have to figure out this noise I'm getting in the front driver side when I turn. Getting a popping noise

Gonna inspect the bushing and tie rod.

We weren't going to do a June or July event because we couldn't get Zephyrs but we got Belle Chase. If you haven't autocrossed there before its great. Usually a low turnout so you get 5+ runs sometimes and the courses are fun and fast.
