Not a clue! But I am very interested to find out. I'll know exactly what it's tipping the scale at when I bring it in for corner balance. Going to be a little while till I can get that done, it's around $700 for the balance, alignment and setup.
For aligning go to Firestone (if you feel comfortable with that) and get a lifetime alignment. One of my buddies brought his 240 down all the time and got it aligned for different events.
Freaking multi quote is down again!!!
I've done the Firestone route and on a stock car they are ok, but for a car like this where the geometry is waaaay different than stock they have no idea how to do it. Too many adjustments for them to handle.
I could do it myself as flat tire mentioned but the shop I go to does strictly purpose built racecars every day. They know what works and what doesn't and how to properly setup and corner balance a car that's built. I trust them and know a lot of people that use them, I'm paying $700 because I know for a fact it will be done right. That's also for the initial setup, after that it's only $200 for a realignment or setup change (since they have all the numbers on file now). Initial setup includes going over the entire suspension and chassis, multiple runs and dial ins, final torque and mark of all alignment bolts.
No one said motorsports was cheap and I'm not half assing this project, especially knowing my wife is driving it on the track as well.
Like I said, if you feel comfortable. It just depends on the mechanic. My best friend is the one who aligned his car and he never had an issue other than getting his car on the lift. His 240 is a built RB25, rollcage, angle kit, the whole 9. Just depends on who you know and if you feel comfortable letting them work on your car.
If that were the case for me I'd feel a lot more comfortable. Unfortunately, I don't have a best friend at a Firestone. I appreciate the input and idea though!
I've done both, nothing beats the rack by far.
Right, the idea is that he doesn't have a rack and if he wants to make an alignment without spending $$$ he can do it himself. Sounds like he's OK paying a shop though.
