NO!!!!!! Reason I have a full car lift at home. Can't go anywhere. Need to apparently now buy an alignment machine. I have a tire balancer/mounting machine already because F'ers scratching my damn wheels. Even scratched my wheels after I put tape and protectors around the lips.
Ive got some decent alignment stuff from Longacre. Not too expensive either.

It is in the mail currently. Redondoaveb makes 'em, maybe he can chime in. It uses the OEM core so I cant imagine the ratchet mech is touched.

Its dead simple to use and the parts are well made. I am at work right now but I can snag some shots of the various parts when I get home in the morning.

That's correct. The ratchet system isn't touched except some grease to make for even smoother (quieter) ratcheting

Oh, and happy birthday

Driven products aka Holley et al got hit with a 800k fine bc flowmaster was selling lths to late model mustang and camaro dudes. The epa emissions regs affect all ice vehicles including gas and they’re focusing on gas and diesel. That’s why apr, part of the driven products brand dropped all their stage 2 tuning and hardware and even scrubbed their website of all their rs3 stage 3 BT 9.0 quarter mile runs. This is goin to start hitting smaller fish like FI at some point too. I know I probably sound like “omg, the sky is falling” but it’s a big deal, mark my words. Ironically, I don’t really have a dog in this fight since our ttrs with a stage one tune, full emissions systems intact, will make 500 hp and on e-85 it’s 565 hp and run mid tens and that’s good enough for me and wifey sine it’s an hpde car, but it’s still feels like this is the end of an era, must’ve been a feeling like this in 1970...

They (epa) came down hard first on the diesel stuff bc of the stupid show and all the idiots “rolling coal” social media vids. Now they’ve put the fear of god into Holly et al and I’m waiting for the next aftermarket co to get hammered. The domestic car aftermarket is bigger so they’re just working their way down the ladder.

Alpha Romeo gulia quadrofolio gt am.

Fvck, I want one. Just watched auto mundial from couple days ago and they covered it.

Wife still wants a 4c. Too bad I literally don’t fit and needed someone’s help to get me out of it, wound up crawling out on my hands and knees at the dealership coup,e years ago when we looked at one, very amusing to all the other shoppers.
