I need to get the car realigned before the Pro next weekend, since I think I slipped a camber bolt in Houston. Can anyone recommend a shop that will do an alignment to my specs without a hassle in this area? Somewhere that does appointments would be a bonus, since I'll need to do it on my lunch break.
I was thinking Autoscope, but I'm open to suggestions.
Gary knows of a place. Call him.Quote:

ok.. I'll call gary for you lazy bastards and post it here. ::Clown:: Just a minute...
Voice Mail... I'll post when he calls me back. They are supposed to be reasonable and "Miata friendly". :D
Weird. I was thinking I needed an alignment because the car had been pulling quite a bit to the left ever since we headed home from the Houston Tour last month.
Tonight I pulled off the stock wheels and Azenis that have been on the car for the past couple of months and remounted my Rota C8s and ES100s. Like magic, the pull disappeared. :scratch:
I know it wasn't tire pressure, because I had checked the Azenis a couple of times since Houston, and double-checked them again this evening. I also checked the ES100s before remounting them, and all eight tires had the right pressures in them.
Wonder what could be causing the pull on the Azenis? There was no accompanying vibration, and the Azenis had been dismounted and remounted at least once since Houston.
Broken belt?
The last 5 times I got an alignment, I went to the NTB off Jupiter (or is it Plano?) and Arapaho. There is at least one guy that does a pretty good job, will set it to whatever specs, and let me sit in the car too. Not sure if he still works there but that's what I've been doing. Think his name was Trey or Travis or something...
At one time I had been recomended to go here:

I have not had a chance to go, but I have been told they do great work.
The place in question is in Plano, on Parker Road just west of Custer. It's almost directly behind the huge Race Trac gas station. Not sure of the name, but they have big yeller Pennzoil signs out front...Quote:

I had alignment done to the Lanny's (sp) spec from Miata.net at Garland Safety Lane by Paul Edison. Paul and his dad owns the shop and they do great suspension work, just don't let the other techs touch your car!

Every tech in that shop has years of experience with factory service, and years of tracking exotics.
Make sure and check out thier 1st gen talon with the 6-piston porsche calipers, cobra rotors, and black cobra wheels.
