Re: Gyraline Wheel Alignment

I remember when someone showed me the measuring app on their iphone. I thought how is that going to work just using the camera to focus on something? It did actually work pretty well. Not perfect but acceptable. Still can't beat the old tape measure.

Re: Coilover upper seat and mount

After a quick search I found only a handful of quality bearings through summit, less from jegs. They used to offer a ton of parts but got taken over at some point by these big corporations that now own all the brands. You might be able to custom order a specific size from a german supply company lik...

Took for a ride and seems to go and stop very good, just driving around neighborhood so not enough to get into overdrive, otherwise, seems to be just swell.

Re: Hub Assembly Early vs. Later Versions

I gave these early style hubs to Mike. If anyone wants to put new bearings in them and run them (they are lighter) hit up Merkur Depot. Use Timken set 24 available on rockauto for $12.73 a set. Beware other bearings claiming to be correct fitment. :D

Re: Original keychain and free mailer tag for the keys if lost.

My one XR had the warranty information card from Burlington Motor in NC, and a metal tag with the VIN stamped into it included with the owners manual. It wasn't a mailer tag just a plain rectangle. I was never sure what the purpose was for. I've seen other new cars come with a similar tag that was a...
