Hey Guys
The closest thing "real" was some guys homemade kit, sells them on ebay, starts at 800$
And I am still not sure tho... sounds cheap. If it needs fine tunning to make it 100% 914 compatible, I am sure the Egineer, Builder, Owner would be easy anough to talk to about it. He had better if he wants to sell some of them.
My sugestion, from someone thats been there done that, use the tape measure + boubble camber guage set up, I think its fine for your race car/project, but for a daily driver I would want more.
My story....
I install shocks and springs, four corners. I call a friend of mine with a new 30000$ alignment machine, I make arrangements with him to be the last customer of the day, it fell on a friday, I offered to pay his last 2 hours of alignment time. Long story short, started/worked late, ate some pizza and had some beers. Adjusted every possible adjustment, to perfect 0+-. Took some time, tryed to pay for it, he didn't want money, because it was afterhours, I payed the treats (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)
I know this is stuff that dreams are made of, but being in the buisiness has its perkz. My sugestion is to stock up on rear shimms, check out some smaller private shops, with a qualified aligner (some shops don't have speciallized men for alignments), and ask to pay for hours insted of a flat rate. Its your dime. I would of gladly pay 120.00$ for the alignment I got, my car ran strait for years. Priceless.
I think this is basic knowledge for the guys that posted, but I still like telling that story.
Do a search on Ebay for the 800$ tool, check it out. Comes with options (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rock_band.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drunk.gif)
