Maybe that's the reason I am so much faster than you. He also does the alignment using string which takes much longer.
That must be it, Vinny ...So if I got that $300 alignment then I would as fast as you?!!

It takes experience and skill to be fast in an S...Something most of us have much less of compared to you. You should look into some competition racing, Vinny. Track days are fun. But at the skill level you're at, Vinny, Competition racing is the next step up.

You came on here slamming my guy without knowing the quality of the work he does. He was honest with his price. He charges book time for 95% of his jobs. Wheel alignments are different. The guy builds and maintains race cars. He tried to explain to you how 3.5 degrees of camber is not necessary, but you knew better.

If you've ever experienced the real difference, you would be amazed at how much difference a great wheel alignment makes in the feel of the car. It will also show how the car is supposed to handle and what the car will do in certain situations. That is what makes you learn what the car can do, what you can do, and how to drive it.

Competition racing also costs a lot more money than I have, so I have to stick with track days, otherwise I would be doing it.

I'll be doing Laguna Seca in September and then Infineon in November. That's my schedule for the rest of the year. Chuckwalla has to wait until next season.

Hey, I hope I'm not bothering by asking but are you still doing valve adjustments?
I don't think I can PM you yet since I just opened my s2ki account but I don't mind giving you my number here.

Takchi with CounterSpace Garage can do it. He's local. He did mine a couple months ago
