Nuge, I got sunburned pretty bad, too. Apparently, I didn't learn my lesson last time I went out with a bunch of Z guys to an AutoX event and got toasted.
I remember that!

EVENT WAS AWESOME!

had a blast!!! Q that pic is crazy....lol at smart car!

IF ANYONE WANTS TO COME OUT TO A BIG EVENT! AT LEAST COME WATCH!!

These events are nationally recognized, people from california or even farther will come out and try to win the competition portion of the event!! D1 licences will be given out most likely to the top placers so they can go on to compete at bigger events elsewhere!

^ I hope they're giving you at least a year's worth of warranty for that price. I take mine to Firestone or NTB; it's cheaper and I don't have to drive to downtown Plano area.

It was nice to seeing you again bro and your UPGRADE Z!

6 month is like 70
1 yr is like 100
3 yrs is like what nexx said.
I don't remember about 1yr but 3 yrs, you have a one time transfer to another vehicle.

I agree with chris about going to NTB or firestone. You can easily find those shops in local, that will save you a lot of time in future.

Edit: I didn't see any special going on at NTB but here is 10 buckz off on alignment from firestone.

Default Alignments

I am for one an NTB fan over firestone.

I currently have the 5yr alignment special on my Z and i have taken my car about 5 times in the last 6 months. Usually before and after an event! I just came from doing it friday prior to saturdays event.

In general there are more NTB's with in-ground alignment racks... if the rack isnt in ground and you bump up the rack then you really need to push on the hatch and hood and settle the suspension.........

firestones usually are older facilities with older alignment racks/equipment...etc...rare to find inground racks..

NTB'S WITH INGROUND RACKS: sure there are others, but here are what we know for sure....
CAMPWISDOM - GRAND PRAIRIE
HWY 121 - GRAPEVINE
PRESTON - FRISCO

I am getting a new exhaust this weekend! I think I am going to go with the new Topspeed true dual for the 370. It is cheap and looks nice!
And chef J you work at the ntb off 121 and preston? Can you ask your manager if the mechanic is in with the tool to fix the lugs on the blue 370z? I went in and he wasnt there.. last time I was in to get my wheels put on one of the guys stripped my cheap autozone lugs... and I need them off
