I don’t know, I believe I may have uttered that, or certainly would, given the opportunity.

I didn’t say it was impossible, though it would be with the method described by Hagrid’s Hairy Hamroll. You don’t need to know the difference in track either, you just need to anchor the string so it is square and parallel to the center of the car. I prefer toe bars and I use a cheap leveling laser to keep the thrust…

Most replacement dampers contain low-pressure nitrogen. If they are being replaced because they are blown and the gas is gone, the car will sit higher with new dampers. Or different dampers, depending on how much gas they put in there compared to what’s coming off. It’s a small change, and therefore an even smaller…

It looks to me like he may have inherited some of those from another generation back. We have some collection overlap. Good show!

I would make better toe bars, level the garage, and use greased tiles to allow the suspension to “float”, but I’ll do it myself every time. The pros just tweak it until it says it’s “in spec”. I get what I want down to the mm.

Probably not, at least not a front end alignment. If you have independent rear suspension it’s a good time to check but you still shouldn’t have to, depending on your suspension design and how picky you are—if the new struts have more gas and change your ride height that will change your rear toe setting, but it…

True, but the negative camber still actually saves wear on your competition tires. Due to some unexpected properties of radial tires, it’s possible for some setups you’ll wear the inside a bit when you are making the most grip, but not by much. The whole point is to maintain a square contact patch as often as…

Came here to post this, you beat me to it. I actually bought a camber gauge, but in the end I found a plumb bob was more accurate. Dealing with IRS is much easier with some floor-tile leveling lasers.

Only if your front and rear track are identical. And your rear toe is evenly set, and, if you have rear camber adjustment, that adjustment does not alter the track. Suddenly my glorified Geo Metro that I compete with seems outrageously complicated...

DC2 Integra, never a problem, ever.

Dammit, what’s that Suzuki next to it?

Nah, it’s the most Hawaii thing ever. There is a fleet of those in that livery that operate all over Oahu right now.

And those that think the Aztek is ugly, should see the Buick Rendezvous. A couple of days ago I saw a skinny dude in a ragged trucker hat chatting up a lady twice his size in the parking lot of the “storefront” church next to his (or her) Rendezvous. I wanted to take a picture so bad, but it would have been an…

I watched it because it was on, inexplicably, in the breakfast nook at the Econolodge I was staying in. Made my morning. The room smelled like dogshit, but who cares? All other hotels seem to only show Fox news.

“They were just trying to choose a powerful and auspicious name.” So was Donald’s grandpa.

No shit. I’ve had cars given to me that would have been a bad deal if the owner had paid me to take it.

Hello 50/50 weight distribution FTW!

Uh yeah, I’m pretty much fine with anything anybody wants to park on their front law or anywhere else, because I’m classy like that.

This is not working worth crap for me in Hawaii, but I laud the effort anyway. I would %100 rather watch Lemons or Chump than F1 or NASCAR.
