CL I will send you the address tomorrow morning as I am on my phone right now.



I am trying to find a shop still to align the TSX. I want to find a place with an in-ground alignment rack and laser system for the best readout. So far 42autosports which helped build a race TSX does not actually do alignments like I was hoping. Just got done emailing GMP Performance to see if they do. I know I will pay more but I am extremely anal about shit with the TSX. I can't believe that I have not been able to find a race shop in Mooresville at all with a laser system or even a non laser in ground system.

I am trying to just align it on the current wheels right now although I have considered putting it back on the Takatas which I will use for track and set it up at the ride height and camber angles I will use for that so I don't have to do it again.

If I go to ECHM which is pretty much set in stone at this point my track day will hinge on the outcome of my latest ticket that I got in NC. If I can get it reduced it will be a go. If I have to pay full price a track day will be pushed back to later this fall and maybe early next year unfortunately. Guess it will teach me to drive slower on the public roads.

jason you should try the firestone up by concord mills, apparently they have the in ground alignment rack. the new store around me has it as well and i had no problems over there. i asked gmp if they would do my alignment, pretty much didnt want to touch my car cus its not a euro, even though i had them roll my fenders when i got my car. good luck

ACCURATEin

x2 firestone. They have the nice in ground roll on style machines with the lasers. Last time my TL was on it was a long time ago when I first put the coilovers on the 6mt. I purchased the lifetime alignment but haven't been back since haha.

happy birthday son.

Eric....your shots are just FUCKING spectacular....

if you can chop my TL in there, I will buy that image and print it LOL

CCColtsicehockey

Hmmmm I wonder what the fine print is on the lifetime alignment as I will probably change ride height and camber settings everytime I go to my track setup and then want to go back to riding on my stretched setup.

ACCURATEin

Thanks Anil! haha I need to travel across the country like Bearcat and meet up with everyone and take photos of their TLs.

I remember asking about it when I purchased it and he said you could bring it everyday if you wanted.

DLntheCL

Eric your photos are so badass.

yes i got the lifetime alignment as well and will be making another appointment once i get these on next week : )

ACCURATEin

Thanks Ben. Ohhhh buddy! I think I know what's inside those boxes. Can't wait to see them on the car. I remember you telling me at cars and coffee what you had planned. Looking forward to making some new photos of your setup.

Awwwww shiet they came in! Congrats Ben

DLntheCL

thanks guys, yes i actually bought 'real' wheels this time lmao.

btw the BMW 19s are for sale and ill let them go to any of you or your friends for $500 without tires. no curb rash or dents and i will paint them back to factory silver/clear coat if wanted.

Damn, good deal! I'll poke around and see if anyone is interested.

CCColtsicehockey

Got an email back from GMP today and they want $240 for an alignment on a car that has aftermarket camber plates and rods. And $265 for an alignment to custom specs. That is also only for a one time adjustment.

According to FirestoneCompleteAutoCare website I can get a lifteime alignment for $169.99. Now only to decide if I want to get the car aligned like it sits right now or put the Takatas back on and set it up to track specs.

t0psec12etpanda

dlnthecl - would these clear the bbk on the tl? that a really good deal. might be turning into a wheel whore lol. need to concentrate on other things.

ACCURATEin

Been spending some time watching tutorials on youtube for lightroom 5. I might upgrade to it soon. This photo was meh before I retouched it.

DLntheCL

Ill be around this weekend if you would like to test fit/drive, I think you will be safe though

DLntheCL

I'd have the alignment set for daily driving

The_GPW_AP2

Another good place for an alignment is Modern Nissan Lake Norman. Mark Marske up there does all the SCCA S2000's. The dealer has the very racks you're referring to, because they're certified to service the GTR.

Might not be as good as the lifetime alignment @ Firestone, but Mark only charged me like $75 for the alignment.

Nice pics, Bee!!

A pic of the unmolested back end of my car .

Driving a MASSIVE 2013 quad cab Ram...it's a pretty nice ride, and easily transported my stock exhaust to the repair shop.

Jason - the lifetime alignment at Firestone is great. I had it on my last car and the TL. You can truly go as often as you like, to any corporate store in the country. Also, every now and then, they put it on sale for $120 or $130.

CCColtsicehockey

Well daily driving is my stanced setup with lots of camber. The track setup will actually have less camber as it will be smaller wheels with more rubber.

CCColtsicehockey

Good to know. Thanks. The lifetime is probably best since I will be changing wheel setups and camber setting often on the TSX. I will have to remember that though for the Lexus.

Figured I jump on forsake for awhile instead of black ops

That is what's good Bryan!!! I like those. It's like a 3d autophotoshop.

CCColtsicehockey

Got the car aligned today finally and wow it drives so much smoother it is amazing. Went to the one off Concord Mills but they used metal brackets to mount the markers to the wheels so ended up having to go to the one off George Liles Pkwy as the had ones that didn't use metal to mount to my wheels.

I couldn't get the lifetime alignment since they said it was a modified car and if my ride height would change more than .5in it would void it. Definitely sucks cause I planned to use that for tracking.

Guess I will be paying for lots of alignments each year if I start to like tracking the car.

Or maybe I will just set the car up to ride like this all the time.

97CL_NC1102

Thanks Eric. I made your car awhile back before my account got hacked but its a shame they don't have a TL in the game. I will try and make that 5zigen tax above.

The word on facebook is that the brawley school exit is now open on 77.

97CL_NC1102

Finally

ACCURATEin

I remember a long time ago I kept hoping and praying there would be a TL in one of the video games. And then I lost my composure one day playing GT5 when I couldn't beat one of the Nissan versa races. I was like this is fucking bullshit that they would have an entire race dedicated to versas and they won't even put a TL in the game. Haven't played the game since.

CCColtsicehockey

Wow that was not advertised well at all. I knew it was supposed to happen by the end of the month but I drove past it at 645am this morning on the way to get my car aligned and it was still closed.

ACCURATEin

Facebook is the fastest way to learn about recent happenings and occurences I have found.

CCColtsicehockey

Guess I will have to go try it out at some point.
