#4323 of 4348 alignment specs by hippe Oct 23, 2008 (5:21 pm)
front left right               actual/before actual/before camber -.3 / -.2 -.3 / {-.8} caster 8.1 / 8.1 8.7 / 8.7 toe .09 / {-.07} .08 / .04 SAI 13.1/ 13.0 12.8/ 13.2   cross camber .0 / .05 cross caster -.6 / -.6 cross SAI .3 / -.2 total toe .17 / {-.03}   rear left right camber -1.5 / -1.5 -1.0 / -1.1 toe .18 / .19 .23 / {-.03}   cross camber -.4 / -.4 total toe .41 / .16 thrust angle -.02 / .11   I hope this makes sense to you. The numbers in brackets are the ones that were out of spec. I tried to make them bold or in red but couldn't do it here. It looks like they tried to hit the middle of the range for most of the values. It works good on my car......

Replying to: hippe (Oct 23, 2008 5:21 pm) I just noticed this. I had everything in neat columns, left and right, before and after. When I submitted it I guess it just slammed everything to the left. All the info is there, it's just needs some spacing. thanks Edmunds! Replies to this message: elias (Nov 09, 2008 6:04 am) hippe (Nov 20, 2008 6:17 pm)

Replying to: hippe (Nov 06, 2008 8:36 am) Hippe, I blame microsoft for anything like that. in other news, my GTO seems even more awesomely aligned now that it's running on $2.50 gasoline instead of $4 gas. If I sell a car to pay my property-tax, maybe I'll sell TDI instead of GTO. Replies to this message: hippe (Nov 20, 2008 6:17 pm)

Replying to: elias (Nov 09, 2008 6:04 am) For heaven's sake, don't sell the GTO. Yeah, I think I paid $2.29 or something like that yesterday. Makes you wonder why we paid over $4.00 not to long ago.   About two weeks ago my 06 started popping out of first gear. Really freaked me out. I think I mentioned that the dealer I got it from went out of business. I know they would have fixed it no problem. I was afraid the local dealer would void the warranty because of the after market shifter. Some dealers are like that. I'd start out in second gear so at least I could drive it around. Kind of a bummer though. That took the fun out of it. Anyway, I was able to locate the service manager who had taken care of my 04 all these years and who did a good job of it I must say. He is now the service manager at a Chevy dealer which is about 70 miles away. I took it in this week and it turned out that it was the shifter and not the tranny. He fixed it for no charge. So, this story has a happy ending but it could have been a disaster.

cool about your fixed shifter... lemme guess, the service manager drives a vette or z28 or something GM with mucho mods. ? $1.99 for 87 octane... i feed my GTO 87 octane all winter and it is pleeeeeenty cold now. Replies to this message: hippe (Dec 04, 2008 3:09 pm)

Replying to: elias (Nov 21, 2008 10:49 am) Ah, that was a nice vacation. I thought I would be working over Thanksgiving but it is getting a little slow (which is scary) so I was able to take the week off.   Actually, the service manager races motorcycles and has never really known much about the GTO. But he will check around and makes sure things are done right. Well, they did mess up with my alignment but it is minor and I didn't want to keep going in for that. I'm glad I didn't start trouble over it. Fixing my shifter is worth way more.   I used to run the highest octane but after learning here that it is only an anti-knock measurement I tried 89 and it worked fine. I then tired 87 but the 04 seemed to knock so I stayed with 89. I've run all three grades in the 06 and it runs fine but I do detect some clatter with the 87 octanne but that probably has more to do with what gear I'm in. If the rpms are up it runs fine. But who cares, gas is virtually free now. just kidding
