Took the toy in for a 20k alignment and rotation today at Port Kennedy Tyres and More, sitting down in the waiting room the owner comes over and asks me to come and have a look at something as he doesn't know what else he can do...I'm thinking "shit" what's he found :eek: shows me the alignment readings on the machine and says they're all perfect :sweating: :D

Said not much he can do bar adjusting the rear right toe in about 1.00mm though it was still well within spec's, as it was already setup I said might as well adjust it and make perfect but I was pleased with his honesty :goodjob2: he also mentioned the tyres are running well and don't require rotating either so all in all it was only $60 for the 45 minutes of their time with test drive - setup and small adjustment instead of $90...looks like I can afford to eat out tonight :happydance:

Is this lowered? Is that why it needs tweaking?

Trade that Space AGe baterry in and you could eat for a month. :mrgreen:

The car is lowered 20mm on Eibach springs though the reason for checking my alignment was to make sure the weight reductions haven't thrown anything out, specifically removing 17kg's of battery from directly over the front left wheel...all good though :goodjob2:

I'd rather starve than trade in my battery :snigger:

Looks like KFC then although I'm not feeling too good myself after 3 pieces.

OMG, I can see it now, No, sorry you can't put your 80kg arse in my car, you'll put me car out of spec. :head_butt:

You must have a small body! I'm only 176cm tall and 83 kg and took my massage girl today 95 minutes just to do most of my bits (There is one bit she leaves)  :Pout: (she's not Asian, but works from home so only cost me $75)

Mate, I thought you'd be a whippet buzzing over the cars all the time :)

I've gained a few extra kg's myself over the winter hibernation, time to prep the bike again with the weather clearing up :goodjob2:

I was happy with 72kg then start to enjoy the beers a bit too much and went up to 80kg.  Took me 5 months to get back down again by limiting the beer consumption.  Now it is whiskey on the rocks instead.

I am due for a massage though, we are just like old cars, as we get older - we require more maintenance.

In a strange way we still aren't off topic, you're getting an alignment :snigger:
