I'm wondering, by the posts I see, I assume you have a shop and can perform any of these things?

 

Affirmative

 

How much are allignments if the car has GC sleeves?

 

$89/hour typical allignment takes 1-2 hours including lowering to desired heigth.

 

Good info Jeff. It would be safe to assume that if you race your car, you should change all fluids atleast twice of the regular preventive maintenance schedule.

PS: Any rallyX's coming in the future?

 

Jeff, you do alignments now??

 

Always Did. you never asked

Meh.. if you want to chair an event I'll set one up.


Not Necessarily, but some things more often.. for example cars with clutch type LSD's if raced can tost the diff fluid pretty quickly. but twice as often would be a good safe guideline.
