There's a place in Norfolk that is awesome. They'll actually adjust your alignment to make your car handle the best, not just to make sure it's in specs. Unfortunately they're closed on Saturday but if anyone else is ever interested, here is their website.

Pretty good my engine hasnt blown up so we did something right. I do need to use a dremel to cut that support out of the hood.

Other than that I havent really gotten up on it too much cuz im worried about shorting that sensor again.

P.S- when your done, adjust the rubber bump stops that the hood rests on while closed by turning them counter-clockwise(?) to raise them so the hood doesn't rattle/have slop.
Did you see this post about hood latch? You could try this as well.

What kinda drill you talking about? I think the dremel would be the best weapon of choice.

Just a regular rechargable portable drill, but can't a dremel tool fit on that kind of drill? I've never used a dremel. Excuse my ignorance.

Yeah right! I'm mad, because I just bought a new padding for my car. My old one mysteriously ripped. I was scaried that it would effect the paint on the hood. Now I have to take it off because of the intake mod. That thing was expensive!

$80, but I don't think they are a high demand. We'll see.

Are you working today? I could bring my drill over later to see if it will work.

MEETING FEELER

It kinda seems like since the Douche bag Lee (MaliciousRC) abandoned us and Mike kinda faded away with personal issues, I think someone should step up and try and plan a meet or a time where we can all chill and talk.

Looking to do something the 3rd week in July weekend or maybe the first week of Aug. I would also like to get maximum participation and open a new thread. making it more visible.

Last year I thought we had a great success at the Hampton McFaddens meet but not sure if we should do that again, but the plus is it might entice some NOVA peeps.

Need some feedback on DATES AND LOCATIONS
