Arh no worries just wanted to make sure that if you were talking to the same people as I got mine from then this is what they would probably give you.

I think your around the same area as me brownsplains/hillcrest, I work right next door to this place and getting a wheel alignment scares me, partly because of my rims ( im worried about the machine damaging them and there lack of caring ) and partly because I just don't know how good of a job they will do.

Yes I am from that area. I wouldnt trust any of the tyre shops down there to do a `proper alignment`. Im wondering if the likes of Fulcrum on tradelink drive do them actually.

I see. Was talking to Jon at JW Racing yesterday, he does wheel alignments for race cars typically - charges too much for the average joe on the street. He says bob jane are pretty good if your fairly specific about what you want, and funnily enough pedders have done a few cars for him as well.

He hasnt used fulcrum either. I didnt need to ask many questions why.

Yeah ok Jon is a good friend and would set it up no worries and Brian at Pedders is a customer aswell, I know that brad the young fella who works for Jon had his ute done there and was not happy.

Bionic, can you do the alignment with my 20's on, I think you have seen photo's of my car, I have the inox removable lip rims and the those lips are 200 bucks each plus fitting which I can tell you is a suckful job.

I dont mind paying as long as my car is looked after and the job is done properly, someone like yourself that is into cars as much as us seems like a good choice.

I dont drive mine much so after lowing it I haven't worried about it but I would like to get it done though.

dynooct2012.jpgBy the thickness of a pubic hair, I got 300.And now, I can confidently say two things:

  • Valve Springs need changing
  • Drilled Injectors lick wang.
  • Today was too f*cking warm to be hanging around in sheds and Dyno Cells.

This thing drives so much better than before, even though it only made a modest gain in power and torque. Thanks be to Clinton @ ProFile Autosports and Justin @ Tuff Car Parts.Not going to do anymore mods apart from new shocks, brakes and a diff bush or three in the next little while.

A beauty shot not unlike every other damn photo I have ever taken.
