I'll talk to my buddy tomorrow

Race, pm'd you.
It takes me less than 10 minutes to get the rig set up and squared to the car,and about 5 minutes to take all the measurements.I've gotten pretty good at making one set of adjustments and being very close so that I can then resquare the rig,remeasure,and usually I won't have to make any more adjustments or at most I'll have to make one more set of fine tuning changes.
I tried setting it up with the car over the pit so I wouldn't have to jack the car up and throw off the rig(you should be able to just make adjustments and remeasure without having the square the rig up again),but it's hard to get up to the tie-rods from under there.More of a PITA than it's worth.
I use a ruler with 1/64" increments,so if you figure to what degree resolution that'd be at the outer rim of a 17" wheel,it's very accurate.I've been very pleased so far with how well it works.

Well guys, its that time again...im getting the itch to build something. My plans were to sell the 240 and build something different this time..but I havent been able to find anything worth jumping on. Sooo after long deliberation, i have decided to rebuild Roxanne.

New motor, New Suspension, the whole 9 yards...its going to be a new car! Of course this means ill be about $12k deep into my beat ass 240....but this time around, i feel like it will be worth it!!

I recently got disappointed by the si, I found out the head on the k24z7 has a cast exhaust mani and vtec only on the intake side. I feel as if I bought a faster ep3

So,it's kind of like a pumped up CRV/Accord K24?I haven't looked much into the new Si,other than the magazines saying the new engine isn't as fun as the previous generation with the 2 liter.
