I'd like to see them get their toe bolt situation straightened out. If someone is going to do suspension installations for our club, I want to make sure they are done correctly.

When there is a problem with the installation, it should be corrected.

thanks JB, i ended up looking up a few DIYs online and instructions from SPC(i actually have the Ichiba kit). The toe bolts that came with the kit were installed in the camber arms. I removed the stock toe bolts and following the DIY, I dremeled out the hole to elongate it. I did not have the template so i "guesstimated" how much to dremel.

I took it back to Firestone(lifetime alignment) and had them realign the car. I didnt make the whole long enough and they had to elongate it some more, replace the camber arm bolts with the stock ones and then move the aftermarket ones to the toe bolt location. I ended up paying for 1 hour of labor. I was not happy about it but since i just replaced the tires on monday, i didnt want to wait to fix the problem.

Just really wanted to get it fixed ASAP. The frustrating thing is that now my rear is fixed, still need to do the front arms as the inside of the fronts is pretty bad...

Just so you all know, for anyone who is planning on going to the UCF meet at the garage tonight:

Since there is a concert tonight, they will be meeting at the garage right past the normal one, on the back side of campus, behind the engineering buildings. If you turn onto Gemini from Alafaya (where the Hess and Moes and Starbucks are) you will pass our typical garage (Garage D) on the right, where the Arena is on the left. It will be the next parking garage on the right (I forget which letter it is, but I think it's Garage C).

I know some of you weren't too thrilled after the incidents from last time, but I'm hoping we can all play nice and get along, if anyone is still interested in going. That's where they'll be.

I'd rather not talk about it... lol

So I only got 2 passes in. First pass was 14.8 @ 95, which was my slowest time yet. Chris had me by a NOSE - He ran 14.7 @ 96, I think, N/A & missing 2nd it was good times lol. And then in my second pass, I missed 2nd (Chris jinxed me!!) and ran like a 15.6 @ 91 lmao... I think it was because they made me wear sneakers and I wasn't in my heels

That's still good V! But why'd you guys only get 2 runs in?? Lemme guess, a little blue hatch kept catching on fire and holding everyone up? lol That's what happened when WE WERE there.
