My alignment ignorance showing but how do you, or do you check caster? Thinking maybe set the stands Square to each other and mark a centerline on the stand itself. Then check wheel centerline against the marked stand and to the opposite wheel? Thanks!

You can check it, but you can't adjust it unless you have camber & caster adjustable plates. Last edited by inTgr8r; 08-17-2011 at 06:30 AM.. |

That's a hell of a nice "barn of a garage" to have...
Ah the Downfalls of living in a condo...

I know that pain. After I sold my M Roady I went through withdrawal; I knew then I'd have another, one day. At least you'll meet up with yours again in Italy; it'll be like getting a new car all over again.

Damn Ian, just looked at this thread! Holy ****! That's a lot of simply awesome stuff for one weekend. I really like how the car is coming along. The headlights make stock look so sad in comparison. I don't even want to blab on about the BBK. It's all just so and .
The alignment stands and entire set-up are wonderful. I'm getting cranky about the quality of alignments in general as they vary tech to tech. Most of the time my shop does a great job, but now and then I just don't think they reach my level of perfection/obsession. SS skid plate and all. Wow. The only thing I see missing: a pellet stove for that garage or some reasonable way to heat it that won't cost as much as a BBK to put in and operate! |

I don't know what to be more jealous about, the mods or the garage and equipment, lol. Very nice work on both fronts. Just out of curiosity, were the headlights a difficult install, and would you mind sharing the price?

You have to pull the bumper, but that's easy too. The headlights are just 2 bolts. Just make a couple of benchmarks so that they go back in the same spot. Price is on the Tekarbon web site with different options.
