isn't that crazy. remember when they wanted to be as low as possible? now the wheels are so insanely big that they need lift kits!

open night is wednesday and it's $25 from 7pm - 11pm. haven't read up on rules and regs yet.

 

I was thinking of some 42" for the TL with BFG's in 305/10-42.

 

 

Hey AJ, where you driving in Port Orange today?

I thought I drove by your TL on Airport Rd...maybe not though

 

I Let my Dad borrow the TL, and he probably went to the Port Orange Walmart, he probably took airport road. However I was on Tomoka Farms Road around 12 ish in the 760 going to a business meeting.

BTW you have my number, call me or txt me if you are up here, we can meet up!

 

any one know where I should go to get a canber kit installed on my 07 TL-S?

 

Where do you live? My friend will probably do it for $50. Is it just rear, or complete camber kit?

You would still have to take it to a tire shop to get it aligned, but they will charge you like $150 to install the kit.

 

I live in St. Cloud. i'm not positive if it needs just the rear or front/rear. I have a good friend that is a manager for Tire Kingdom in Orlando. He'll get it done for a sweet price.

 

Yea my House, I'll help you put the kit on I did mine myself.

 

That would be great. I'll probably order it this week. Once it's on do I need to tell the allingment place (tire kingdom) that it is on there? Will they need to do anything with it?

 

ughhh, Tire Kingdom. Bro, I hope you have better luck. I tried taking my TL there after installing suspension and new 19's - side note, only reason I went there was because I had existing plan on previous vehicle. They called me up an hour later telling me they wouldn't be able to install TPMS sensors and they "did what they could" with the alignment. Even funnier was when they referred me to their performance branch that 'specializes' in these types of applications.

I told them to kiss my rebel dick and found a local shop that I could sit and shoot the crap with the wrench while he turned my wheels. They did a great job but still recommended a camber kit for further tweaking.

Oh, growing up, Tire Kingdom was right next to my parents shop I worked at so, it was very convenient for me to drop off my car to get aligned during the day. I'm not exaggerating when I say that on average I took my car back 3 times until it finally tracked straight down the road or didn't wobble.

 

Here's my experience so far with these "tire shops":

Tires Plus:
1) Scratched my brand new Ron Jon's and I made them buy me a new rim.
2) Couldn't align my car because it was "too low" (do they not work on Corvettes?)

Expert Car Care:
1) We can't align your car because it needs a caster kit with your camber kit
2) This is the best we can get it aligned...sorry

Find a good mechanic by asking around with people who drive cars like yours (people with modified suspension and good taste in mods). Talk to the mechanic and see what he can do for you.

 

Best alignment place I have been to in orlando was at
First Class Automotive
3608 E Colonial Dr
Orlando, FL 32803
(407) 228-2849

Across the street from Fashion Square mall.. they WILL do lowered cars.. its the place that always has nsxs and s2000s in front..

 

Yes..., that's a good place to go to get your work on. My buddy Jason with the NSX always brought his car there to get it work on. And he's live about an hour half away from there. I think he said, the lead mechanic / owner has Ferrari and NSX. If you tell him you know Jason Blair with the green NXS from Palm Bay, he probablly give you a deal.

 

Definately stay away from tire kingdom!

Unless you do what i did when I had like a 3 yr aligment plan that I transfered to my lowered vehicle.

I would basicly ask for a printout of the aligment, then take it home and adjust to where I wanted my camber/toe settings to be then take it back and tell em I just wanted it checked. I would again ask for a printout to se how close I got.

I would repeat until satisfied. The aligment guys there think they know it all but dont know crap. As long as the computer screen lights everything up in green thats where they"ll leave everything. And dont even get me started on terying to tell em you want to leave some toe in to counteract the negative camber and improve handling to the way I wish. They'll sit there with a dumb look like if your the one that doesnt know what theyre doing.

 

Speaking of Jason, where the heck is he? Tell him to get his ass on the forums, lol. I will definetely try that place out when I get my new tires.

Does anyone know if they do a lifetime alignment?

 

The owner of the shop drives a black NSX is Nabil. He is a cool guy, actually took me for a ride in it last summer. They used to have a guy Oster that worked there. He was well known on the NSXPrime forums but he relocated to GA. Those NSX guys trust Nabil with their cars and ship them or drive from hours away so he can work on them.

 

So do you know if they do any lifetime alignment deals?

 

last time i check no.. they charge about 75.00 bux for an alignment.. just call them i posted up the info.

 

Thanks for the heads up everybody. Does First Class Automotive work with the camber kit? i was actually thinking about taking to Nix & Black on North OBT. I took my lowered 03 Cobra to them a couple of years ago and they did a good job. They know what they are doing. I was thinking about getting a new set of RJ Inspyres. I sure as hell don't want them to scratch them.

 

THey do almost everything. THey should be able do the camber kit for you. It's really easy. I can do it too.

 

He always busy with work. He doesn't have alot of free time.

 

^what's the status of those led tails?

 

Still waiting to have extra money to get another light. Cuz the right side has a piece broke off. I need another right side, so I can switch the lens. Does anyone know who has it for sale cheap ( really sheap)? Ebay has it for around $70. I try to find cheaper then that.

 

just checking in here guys.

and yes i went to tire kingdom and ended up having to go back 4-5 times just to get my car in drivable shape

 

^Go Gators!

 

 

 

Go OU!!

Hey guys what's up. I was just wondering if we were going to do another meet soon. I missed the last one. Umm is it bad that I'm stopping people that have TLs like mine LOL. Oh and FYI. I saw a sick 99 to 01 TL over in Oviedo today. Was sitting on 19s. It was white. Whish I could post the pics threw my iPhone. :-(

 

What were you doing over in Oviedo? That's where I live, but that wasn't my car

 

I go to the Planet Fitness over there. I live over buy Ucf.

 

I looked at a house that's for sale in your hood a few weeks ago. When I was leaving the subdivision, I saw your car.

 

When was that? A few weeks ago?
