Hey, I could be interested in this tuning day. January 22nd? A Tuesday, if I'm not mistaken? Where is this going to be (what city/town)?

OK, I read the whole thread. Fresno? I'll check back.

This is a updated list. I talked to Jan today. Since we are at 9 and maybe more, it looks like we are going to need 2 days to get this done. Jan is going to call the dyno shop here in Fresno to confirm that we can have two days instead of just one. Hopefully the 22nd will still be ok, and maybe we can add either the 21st or the 23rd. Hopefully we will know later this week. Thanks everyone for the patience, Jim

I can go any day as long as I have some notice. I would like to get in the first day if possible. I don't want to burn my car down again.

But No!...had a great time today, need to get use to the difference. Much tighter, if you even think about turning, it goes...-2 in the rear and -2 in the front will do that...but it tracks "straight and true"....before it would want to come back to "center" in turn, now "I" have to "unwind" the steering wheel. Going to run it like this for a while, then get into the alignment shop for the final "tweaking".
Great job Steve!!

Thanks, William. Remember, it's $70/hr. normally, $100/hr. if you watch, and $140/hr. if you help. Though it did help to have three people on the struts to break the over-torqued nuts loose. Next mod should be the Alta PSRS. I was really impressed by Nathan's car when I drove it. When I get mine on I'll let you take a drive.

Steve

I DO KINDA GET IN THE WAY SOMETIME.It was good to see you again. Neg. front camber in a FWD is a wonderful thing it allows you to really lean on it. Take a little out of the back and check the toe and your ready to go.
