Sorry I gotta back out. Just found out today that I need to replace pretty much my entire suspension. I hate Les Schwab.

Water or alcohol, Tyler? On my setup, I use two M10 nozzles. At the system pressures I run, I'm outputting around 1400-1500cc/min. That's a crap ton of alcohol. Understand this is all experimental but we'll give it a try.

did you set a date an location yet? I've read the thread again but if its there I missed it.
I'm still tracing my boost problem, waitting on the boost pressure check tool I ordered. So if I'm running good by the date I'm in for it, an still willing to let him barrow my car for the 2 or 3 days hes up here.

Well, I was driving to Wyoming, and I wanted to drive the 7 to let my uncle see it, so I took it to firestone to get it aligned, since the front was off because I rebuilt the steering rack.

They put it up on a lift, and it turns out pretty much all my bushings are shot. Every wheel wheel, except the rear driver side, wiggles a lot. The part that's Les Schwab's fault is, on both of my toe links in the back, the nuts were left loose, so as I was driving, apparently they kept pulling out a little at a time, and stripping the threads. There were some other nuts left loose in the suspension as well, that I never got near. Les Schwab is the people I've had touch my suspension.

Somehow one of my control arms on the rear got bent, too, so that gets to be replaced as well.

Ahh, I had them break off the splines of the axle of one of my old cars removing the hub to replace a wheel stud... Then they tried to charge me for the axle they ruined. It's an odd sight to come back when your car is supposed to be done and see some kid using a large file on your axle...????? They also scratched one of my JDM wheels on the Mazda when I had the tires switched over. Wouldn't recommend going back to a Les Schwab ever

Yeah, I'm definitely never going back there. My grandfather had them do his brakes on his truck. It has a hard line that bolt onto the caliper, and they put it on backwards, so when I turned the wheel all the way to the left, it ripped it and sprayed brake fluid everywhere. I've been hearing a lot of stories like this lately.

Sorry about getting off topic. I'll stop posting about this now.

I am making reservation for Brian flight.
He will be here on Thursday night 09/10 until Wednesday 09/16.
So he will be tuning from Friday till Tuesday. That gives him 5 days to tune.

Tuning spot, I am thinking one day for each person.
09/11---Friday
09/12---Saturday
09/13---Sunday------johgar (Daniels)
09/14---Monday
09/15---Tuesday

Please copy and paste what day work better for people.

I also have one request. Does anybody has a place for Brian to stay at?
