Sonny's Weak M10 Build

Thats weird that the paint flaked off the fender so easily. Is it the original fender?

They normally test drive it afterwards. Do not let them go got a test drive BEFORE do the alignment. I had this one shop disappear on me for 20 minutes.....some BS rule they needed to feel the car.

What exactly do i say to the shop ?

Did my best by hand

They drive it around the block to test everything.

i've had dozens of alignments in the last 20+ years of car ownership and really good shops do test drives after. basic shops give you a printout and get you out of there asap. if you're into that type of alignment (which your car isn't ready for imo. think coilovers, corner balanced, track prep, etc) go to Bullet performance, they love e30s and will take care of you plus they're not far from you, costa mesa. i'm sure they'll do a basic alignment for you as well.

Can anyone help me out? I want to get new tires/ alignment. But I absolutely don’t want any of the workers driving it? Is it okay to ask them not to. I know it’s a old m10, but I care for it and don’t want a teenager ripping my gears .

99.99% Of teenagers can't drive a manual anyway.

Maybe it’s just the place I go to, any chain retailers that don’t do this that you recommend? Les Schwab maybe but I feel there to cheap.

Les Schwab does it I think it’s around $100 or less. They also give you a print out of the specs for the alignment when it’s finished.

Never heard of that tbh, an alignment doesn’t take long you can literally sit in the waiting room.

Also, get and alignment.

Redoing my inner tie rods already have new locking plates, probably not tight enough. Brought some wheel weights to add the ones chipped off.
