Dropped off the Chalon up the street for an alignment. They have done 3 other cars for me all 914's including Joe Buckles cars. They do the front for $79.00. That isnt bad is it? He is also going to rebalance all 4 wheels since the weights fell off in the driveway.

Its not tilting at the top, it keeps turning to the outside. I do need to add another shim cause it wasnt right. I just have not got around to it yet. When I get it back today I will get right on that. This guy is going to check out my front suspension also to make sure I didnt forget anything. It could happen. I am not perfect. Well, maybe.

I think $80 is about the going rate for most general tire shops. A "Porsche" specialized place is more like $300 for a 4 wheel.

I didnt want the rear done till I install the rollers in the rear. Right now, I just want to drive it a little and see how it is going to be. I have some adjustments still to do on the clutch and stuff and there is a rubber burning smell when I drive it that I want to track down and figure out what it is. It may be my clutch, its the kevlar one and it smells like it is burning. I think the clutch is too tight. Anyone else have any experience with the Kevlar clutches? Do they smell kind of like rubber or plastic burning?
