Yeah I'm bummed I just spent $170 on an alignment - and from a very reputable shop - that is essentially worthless. This goes to show just how difficult it is to properly align our cars. I'll be hitting West End, where Flash got his car aligned and balanced, as soon as I can. I'm really looking forward to a properly handling car!



Insulation wrap has been ordered, so we'll see soon if it improves the boost by keeping the fluid cooler. Flash, let me know if you find those delrin swaybar bushings - and if you have anything for the rear 19mm bar as well (inner mounts, solid drop links) - I'll give you some cash for 'em and install them at the same time as the insulation.



And Newcastle it shall be - thanks for all your help as always!

A had four new tires installed last year and I did NOT do the four wheel alignment...

... now I have a rear tire that needs to be replaced already! Even though the car handles fine, something is out on the rear curb-side.

It does NOT pay to not do things properly! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/whine.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Sometimes you don't know your alignment is a little out until the tires start making noise from wearing funky - and sometimes that's too late to save the tire.



I'll be getting new tires soon as well. The fronts on my car are about six years old and most likely hard as a rock - they have plenty of tread left but don't grip well at all and are probably contributing to my truck-like steering feel. The rears I bought last year, but they don't match the fronts (which were NLA) and feel too stiff in the sidewall - plus I want to go up a size, from 275/35-18 (I thought they'd be wide enough for 10" wheels - previous tires were 265's - but they still look too 'stretched') to 285/30-18.



I desperately need a second income to keep up with the repairs/mods on this car!
