Auto-X? Keep me posted. I'd definitely love to come out and watch...
...and unfortunately that's all I'll be able to do with the CSVT for a while. I'm afraid I've neglected a nagging suspension problem for about a year and it's gotten steadily worse.
To make a long story short, I've got my camber out of whack on the front driver's side (and it's eating tires up pretty bad, not to mention the steering issues it's been causing). Since we all know that camber is non-adjustable, I'm almost positive I've got a bent suspension piece under the front LH side somewhere. I'm thinking it goes back to that run-in with the semi that pushed me into the highway divider about a year and a half ago...
I'm looking at BAT suspension (spring, struts) along with new control arms and tie rods; basically anything that can attribute to the drastic camber change I've got up front.
Tires, too. I've eaten one down to the belt on the inner side and I'm starting on the other one that I've mounted up front.
If anyone's got any ideas, I'm all ears.
Thanks again for the welcome!

James, I've been doing suspension swaps for guys in the area if you're interested. Only thing I can't do is the alignment, but you've got plenty of choices for that. Let me know if you're interested and I can throw you a price to do everything.

Rick,
You've just been PM'd. I'm sure we will need to discuss things further, just to make sure I get everything lined up beforehand.

Mainly Tim  , but work relocation for my wife and myself came into play. We really got lucky that we both were able to relocate with our same roles in both of our careers. Usually some one gets the shaft in a move like this. I look forward to seeing many of you soon. Thanks to Rick, I should have things fixed on the 'Tour before too long. Regards,

James, let us know when you plan on heading up to Iowa to vist Rick's Garage, maybe a few of us can follow you up there for a day. Its always fun to see all of Rick's toys and maybe we can finally make it to that Go Kart track they have up there. We've said we were going to go the past 2 times I was up there nothing bu empty promises.  On another note, we have our own indoor track in Olathe, probably not more than 20 minutes from your place of residence. Its a nice track and alot of fun! Kind of addicting though, that kind of addiction could be hazardous to the old pocket book!
