MNMazda group allignment day - Brought to you by Stellar Autoworks - April 14th

[ohsixspeedsix]

Got this all worked out now that it's coming up soon.

Where: Stellar Autoworks - 9855 13th Ave North, Plymouth, MN 55441
When: Saturday, April 14th
What: We managed to get a great group deal on basic 4 wheel allignments at Stellar. The deal is $500 for the whole day with a 10 car maximum. So if we get 10 cars it would only be 50 bucks a person.

We have got a list going but need a couple more folks to fill it out. So if you or someone you know needs an allignment, let me know. Here is our list:
1.) ohsixspeedsix - Mazdaspeed 6
2.) mndsm - Mazdaspeed 3
3.) Johnny T - Corvette
4.) Johnny T - T-bird
5.) Picklz - Corvette
6.) Mazdamn02 - Mazda 5
7.) spek1098 - Mazda 5
8.) spek1098 - Mazda 3
9.) dmention7 - Escort
10.) spek1098 - Corolla
Backups/maybes:
11. ) Minitrucker@heart - Mazda 3

Food list:
Ohsixspeedsix - Grill, charcoal, lighter fluid. And Chips
dmention7 - Burgers
Johnny T - Beverages
Still need:
Burger buns
Condoments

Also getting closer to the date, I'd like to get confirmations from the people on the list, and get the payment figured out.

Lastly, I would like to do some food arrangements. I think it would be cool to do a pot luck grillinz style deal. Have everyone bring some item, ie, dogs, burgers, chips, drinks, etc. And myself or someone can bring a small grill and charcoal and lighter fluid.

Thanks all!

I'll keep the day open to at least show up and hang out. If none of the backups are available, I'll get our Soul straightened out.

 

[ohsixspeedsix]

Alright sweet, thats the other thing I forgot to mention. Even if you are not getting alligned, you are more than welcome to come and hang out and join in those classic MNMazda shenanigans. Just let me know if you would like to contibute to the fudz. It would be appreciated.

 

[mndsm]

Thats right, we need to figure out how we're feeding everyone. Couple things of burgers from teh costco?

 

[Big Nate]

Can they handle a large truck? I have a Yukon Denali XL that could use it.

 

[mazdamn02]

I'm still in with the Mazda5. I can help with grillinz and fudz and stuff, let me know how I can help.

That's what I was thinking.

I'll ask them about the large truck.

 

[JohnnyT]

So if we get 10 people it'll be $50/pop, and that includes a basic 4 wheel alignment, correct? Any idea what the upcharge would be if we do a 'stellar' alignment or a 'custom stellar' alignment?

Going by these: http://www.stellar-autoworks.com/index.php?page=rates

Might have a guy from the local GM forum sign up. I'll report back when I know his status.

 

[ohsixspeedsix]

correct. BUT... only basics. We will be on a time frame. Here is the email I recieved from Justin:

"We’re all set for April 14th. I’m planning on 8-10 basic four wheel alignments. They take about an hour each depending on what needs to be done. If you can, please have your guys make sure everything is tight and even spray adjustments with pb blaster if they can. We’ll probably have to put an hour limit per car or we won’t get close to getting everything done. We’ll adjust everything we can within that time. Cars with loose suspension components we won’t be able to do because the alignment will be off. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!"

 

[JohnnyT]

Do you have Justin's email or did you just call him? I want to see if they can do my specs within an hour. They're not too far off stock so hopefully it's doable on the 'vette.

[Picklz]

let me know what you find out JT

 

[JohnnyT]

Will do - I just emailed him the stock specs and the Performance Street one from Pfadt. Hopefully it's doable otherwise I'll just be having the Tbird done for now.

This ever get answered? I'm tempted to toss the Nissan on for the price and make sure she's on point.

 

[JohnnyT]

let me know what you find out JT

Well, all he said was he can try to do any specs within the hour. I'm sure it'll be fine since it's not corner balancing so I'll keep both cars in.

 

[JohnnyT]

I still haven't got my seats yet so I won't be able to bring the 'vette unless I get them before the 14th.

 

[ohsixspeedsix]

Well justin said any trucks up to 1 ton are good as long as they aren't duallies. So which else is in? If we can't fill it up im gonna ask the local Miata guys.

 

[SteveO]

Is there a rule of thumb for alignments per se? I had mine aligned at Stellar when they installed my Eibachs springs last spring. I mean there isn't anything obvious that I can tell (steering doesn't pull etc..)

 

[ohsixspeedsix]

Tracks straighter and a better alignment means less tire wear.

 

[Cmezz331]

buh i might be in......if i can find 50 bones...
deez coils make my alignment off about 2 degrees
