ac·ci·dent [ak-si-duhnt] noun
1. an undesirable or unfortunate happening that occurs unintentionally and usually results in harm, injury, damage, or loss;

An accident by definition is unintentional, glad it hasn't taken too long to get the car fixed, hope it hasn't cost too much money.

Please don't take it to K-mart for your alignment - they probably won't know what castor is either.

Off the top of my head I would suggest 'Wheels World' or 'Wilkinsons Suspension' for a propper wheel alignment (although I haven't used either of them personally).

Maybe one of the other local guys can reccomend somewhere good?

I heard "wheels world" is pretty good, also I remember someone said they know mx5 suspenion very well. I had my lower spring purchased and installed by wilkinson, they are good too.

Thank you for the link, I might go to the one in Bently since it is closer

Shane will see you right and if you are lucky he will show you his racecar.

I went to see him today and I saw his wife white NA, and his car was on the lift covered. Hopefully he will let him see it tmr

Be wary,
Twice I've been to alligbment guys recomended off this forum and both times they were terrible decisions

He seems alright, he has two mx5 and he said he know the car in and out very well

Why those pads? Did you have to pay duty/gst on that delivery from the states?

If you haven't had your alignment yet fit your coilovers first.

tescoking · Postby **tescoking** » Sat Jun 21, 2014 1:18 am

Yes, I paid around $400 for the tax, which is totally stupid, I should have separate my order every $1000. Then I don't need to pay any tax. We had alignment today, and we are fitting the coilover next week because today has not enough time.

Thanks for okibi recommends, Shane did a super good job, I can feel the difference right away, also after depower the steering, the new setting completely match with the steering, I don 't feel stiff at all and. I can feel everything on the road.
