OT, but.. It does suck! I was working on rear alignment last night too. Where are you measuring from and to for rear toe? It's pretty difficult to get a tape measure across the front or rear of the back tires as there is a lot of shit in the way (exhaust, sway bars, diff/driveshaft, etc).. There is a spot about 1/2 way up the back of the tire that will clear the exhaust, just above the toe link on the spindle. But the spot in the front of the tire is about 4-6" lower and the geometry doesn't seem right comparing those two measurements. Send me a PM if you'd like to discuss alignment.

DP_Michelle G · 03-20-2007, 11:42 AM

Who driving up from the OC on sunday LMK so we can roll up in a group

A Spec Products · 03-20-2007, 11:42 AM

I just pay for alignment

Cause its easier

And it comes out right

And cause I'm BALLINNNNNN

LOL

*MELLO*SOS* · 03-20-2007, 01:06 PM

I just paid for a ballin alignment last Thursday from this guy I refer to as "The BMW Snob".. But I fucked up my rear right on Friday; replaced the arms on sunday, now the front is fine, the rear left is fine, but the rear right needs adjustment. Just wondering where/how you guys are measuring for rear toe with all the components in the way? My DIY alignment on the front was damn close; caster was off by .2/.3, camber was off by a degree l-r and toe-in was even left-right, just a little too much toe-in total. The front seemed a lot easier to measure.. Besides the snob's shop is all the way the other side of town, they take a long time to get the work done and the dude has an attitude...

See you guys on Sunday

A Spec Products · 03-20-2007, 03:18 PM

This is where I go:

JC Auto House
9237 Lower Azusa Road, Unit O
Temple City 91780
626-287-7781

Ask for Cyrus

He is the man, also mounts tires, stretched, whatever

Takes his time and does it right, never messed up any of our wheels ever

kenversusryu · 03-20-2007, 04:04 PM

mello,

I'm not sure how you're measuring toe. It sounds like you're measuring from tire to tire but I do it with string. Try this.

http://www.negative-camber.org/jam14...alignment.html

it's a crude way to measure toe but it's pretty simple. but so far my measurements in the back are 0 toe with .83 camber in the right rear and .94 camber in the left rear.

10 bucks for spectators! holy crap. Do i pay 10 bucks too? What about mounting tires? HOw much does WSIR charge?

I'm coming up from ventura county.

s13coupe805 · 03-20-2007, 04:14 PM

does cyrus have a silver ae86, if so he helped my buddy out at top drift last month. helped him w/ his tie rods

s13coupe805 · 03-20-2007, 04:15 PM

kenver, where in ventura county r u, we rollin up from Oxnard on saturday. hit me up on aim. my sn is oreaga

*MELLO*SOS* · 03-20-2007, 04:17 PM

Yeah I've been researching all different ways to do it recently. The tire method seems to be the "easiest" although I understand the tread isn't exactly accurate. I've read of the string method, one guy suggested running the same wheels on all four corners with center caps, measuring out 100mm from the front caps and 102.5mm from the rear cap (probably the link you just gave). I'll give that method another shot; but I don't have center caps, plus I have mismatched wheels on there now so it's not really accurate. I have the Fastrax camber/caster/toe tool, but it's a bitch to find level ground! I know about making some shims for my garage but there is so much junk in there it's not an option right now...

Thanks for the link though.

And yes, as a driver or spectator you have to pay $10 for every person in your car to get into the track regardless of their role. No place to mount tires at WSIR, but I hear there is a nearby shop in Rosamond that is open on Saturday.

kenversusryu · 03-20-2007, 04:20 PM

I'm from cam but i'm going up sunday.

s13coupe805 · 03-20-2007, 04:23 PM

oh ok thas coo, yea we going for htm. got any pics of ur car, hit me up on aim. in fact i'm in camarillo rite now at work lol, with the rain, god i love the rain

MaRshMaLLow · 03-20-2007, 06:04 PM

what sux about WSIR is that even though you pay for the track day you still have to pay $10 to get in no metter if you're a driver or not ....

kenversusryu · 03-21-2007, 12:12 AM

^^ that does suck.

Oh well. I guess i'll lose some track time for a tire change run. Maybe i'll get some lunch or something too. I doubt i'll make too much progress on my first track day anyway.

anyway. i'll see you balcony guys and gurls on sunday! booyaka.

- Sang

btw. Did you guys get some kind of confirmation e-mail or something? I have no idea how this works. Just pay and show up?

Dousan_PG · 03-21-2007, 12:37 AM

pay and show up
print out your paypal reciept if your worried.
