Project Trackday

Took the car into the shop today to get the alignment done.  Alignment numbers are as follows:

Front:

Caster: 4.5deg

Camber: -1.0deg

Toe: Zero

Rear:

Camber: -1.5deg

Toe: 1/16″ (1/32″ per side)

Cost:  $78

The weather is finally starting to improve here and the car was pulled out of storage on 3/17/10 (special thanks to Tom W. for letting me keep the car in his garage over the winter!).  A fresh oil change (Mobil1 5W-30 Full Synthetic, M1-110 oil filter) today is the first step in preparations for the 2010 season.  I will flush the brake fluid next week (weather permitting) and check the brake pads/rotors for wear.

Koni Sport (Single adjustable) shocks to replace OEM shocks

The plan is to also get the newly acquired Koni Sport shocks on the car and a new alignment before the auto-x season opener on 4/11/10.  Currently it looks like I will be sticking with the stock springs for at least the first half of the season, though upgrades to the sway bars may be in order.
