Ah, thanks. That was me....glad to meet you all.

 

Hey guys. New Z owner over here. I'm out in Orlando.

Lame post....I know

 

Welcome! Keep an eye out for meet announcements.

 

What's the normal meeting location? I'm pretty familiar with Orlando

 

We usually meet at either Hooters by the airport or BWW at Waterford Lakes.

 

Well that's pretty cool, I'm fairly close to all of those areas

 

Damn i wish i was still in orlando >< i had a silver Z with smoked out L.E.Ds and an invidia exhaust setup but i moved to PR on a good note i just got a brickyard z couple days ago so ima start working on this one soon! best of luck to you guys out in orlando

 

Anyone from the Orlando area planning on making the trip up to GA for Z Nationals?

We would love to have a big attendance and we have some really great prizes from Sponsors this year. Check out this thread and the one in the SouthEast section for a running update.

 

I am new to Orlando. I need a recommendation for alignment shop near Waterford lake. Anyone have any input for Firestone Lifetime alignment on Chickasaw and Lake underhill. thanks ahead for all feedback. I have a stock 2004 350z convertible

 

Welcome! I've never used that shop, so hopefully someone else will pop in and help you out.

 

TIM, welcome. I'm new to Orlando as well and i actually live around the same area. Hmm I wasn't aware that fireatone started that lifetime deal again? Wonder if its still $99 like it was before.... I have no idea if the store you're asking about it good, I guess you cab look at reviews online .. I'm running a stock black z( festival motorsports sticker on drivers side), ill wave if I see you Haha

 

i have the firestone lifetime alignment.. its worth it if you are lowered. you can go everyday if you wanted to... i go to the lake underhill loc. the only bad thing about that location (for me) is that i have to remove my bumper when i go in.. they deemed my front end too low

 

^ how much did you pay for it, and are the techs any good?

 

not sure how much i payed, maybe $120, i got it over 3 years ago... they get the work done.. i have camber kits so im usually in and out in under 45 min.... ive gone to other firestones where the tech said they had never seen aftermarket A-arms before

 

Just got my alignment.. Took less than 40 min. Only thing bad is they didn't give me a print out of the before and after numbers. If you want it make sure u let them know before they start

 

Right now they have a special for 149 buck. My car is not lower and running 20 in wheel(stagger). I have a inside wear on all tire. I was recommend to get the setting of

Front specs.

Camber: minimum -1.33*
nominal -0.58*
maximim -0.17*

Caster : minimum 7.42*
nominal 8.17*
maximim 8.92*
Left and right difference 0.75*

Total toe in: minimum 0.00 in.
nominal 0.04 in.
maximim 0.08 in.

Rear Specs.

Camber: minimum -2.08*
nominal -1.58*
maximim -1.08*

Total toe in: minimum 0.043 in.
nominal 0.075 in.
maximim 0.106 in.

Anyone have any imput will be helpful. Sound like this friestone does good work so I will take my car there. Will let you guy know how it went.

 

Alvin was the tech guy at firestone that did my alignment. link to my alignment config.

Front. my caster are a bit off so my camper was off. This might be due to compression rod bushing being bad. I have to check this. Might have to replace them. Anyone know of a good tech to do this work?

rear. my camber is in spec -1.9 since i am running 20. I need a camber kit to get close to -1.

Firestone have a special lfetime for 149. Joe is the manager. make sure they print out the before and after reading. Alvin was my align tech(seem like a nice guy). I am getting a camber kit for the rear and then get it realign for free. As for the front, all my bushing was in good shape, however, i am trying to see how i can get my camber and caster back to spec. Might cost alot of money. Have to keep an eye on how the tire wear and see if it worth it to replace better bushing to get back to spec.

If i see you on the road i will wave .

 

Anyone here drive the 06-08 Carbon Silver Z that was on Welch Rd last night that turned into Errol Estates around 8pm? The car had a rear diffuser with a wicked exhaust and some sort of flourescent lighting between the tailpipes.

If so, PM me! Thanks
