your car should be ready tomorrow I stayed a lil late and installed the new bolt, and adjusted the ride height. Tomorrow I will counterbalance it and align. Does Mike have the alignment specs you want? If not e-mail him so in the morning I can get on it. Also I will check the trans fluid level, looks like they used plenty of silicone when they installed the LSD @ the dealer so I don't know why it is leaking that much.. weird. I would get that taken care of soon unfortunatley the only remedy may be to remove trans and re-seal. How many miles have you driven since that install?

Yea plan maybe after I pick up my car it goes directly to the dealer. I wanna say 500 miles or so after the new trans was installed. And awesome! haha

As for alignment specs Low as possible with out rubbing at events like autox. I am still deciding if i wanna use those wheels when i do autox or just change back to my 5zigens with my good rubber(17 inch setup) I am sure either way the setup will work out good since I won't be hardcore tracking at the time. Something decent for autox and daily driver is good enough.

Thanks Justin

I can do a "hybrid" alignment like I did on Scotts car. Decent camber but not too muchmaybe 1.8 to 2 dgrees negitive in front, .7-.9 in rear negitive camber...... 0 toe front and rear.

Tha sounds about good. I think thats what I have right now, or well use to before it went kinda outta whack. Something good for daily driving but that wont tear up tires too much.

no prob man. Also, I set the dampening to 7 clicks from soft on all 4 corners. I believe there are 15-16 clicks of adjustment. The front ones are tricky because the adjustment is done on the bottom of the shock.

Hmm Sounds Great. I will change them in the spring time for more of an aggressive setup.

justin. im pretty sure u still have a chassis advantage over all the other scion models. power didnt mean much at the last autoX. it just incites wheelspin on such a small tight course. smooth throttle play was key last time and im sure will be again. playing at the limits of the front tires. ur snappy suspension will still "pull a premium come race wars".

those of us who placed at the top in our scion class were only beaten by a sparce few of the Non-scions actually. that says sumthing. porsche be damned.

good times good times. it was fun. pretty competitive and interesting to have to deal with the traction differences on such a small venue. the dust+water+gravel in that one return section was tricky as hell (and even totaled a maxima into a light pole) i would like to see a different venue...and much larger next time. Us Scion Noics had fun tho.
