NW WA Meet / BS Thread

@RyGuy09 here is your new home.

 

Well that looks like a good time! It was a damn nice day for it too

 

@Juforrest it def would be now that I’m a member

 

What part of the state you in?

 

@Juforrest edge of Des Moines/ federal way

 

@TexMeg89 gas been setting up monthly meets for wheeling, beer, camping so be on the lookout. They usually get posted here.

 

What do your weeks look like?

 

Anybody have lifetime alignment's from Firestone?

If so, which Firestone shop is the best in the south end? Lot's of them have pretty low ratings online. Just wondering. Found some pretty bad cuping on my KO2's last week. Hoping it's alignment not suspension related.

 

others have pointed me to fireston renton highlands

 

Yeah I Renton highlands is the only one I’ve heard good things from. @AWilson013 has been there a lot

 

Thanks bros! @JDAM @NorthwestCruiser

 

Burien Firestone. Renton highland bent my cam tabs over But they made it right.

 

Shit, they broke mine off! What did you say to them?

 

they owned up to it actually.. and because they couldnt get it in the caster range i wanted. I'm guessing the alignment tech started cranking on the cams before loosing up the bolt. anyways, they sub it out to midas or some local shop in the area to do the weld. get it in writing too.

 

that's a pretty common issue, just drop a small bead behind the tabs and call it good.

 

Can I replace a tab with a bead?

 

I don't see why not, its just a point for the cam to push off of. You can get a small piece of 1/4" steel and weld it there, then put a tac behind each of the factory tabs.

I bent one of mine hitting a tree, then when i did an alignment it bent completely flat, used a punch to put it back in place and tacked them and it hasn't moved. I did mine with the LCA still attached, just put a really wet cloth on the bushings so they didn't melt.

 

Way south end Tacoma mall has a pretty god alignment guy. Only on certain days, but gets +3 and doesn’t bitch about it.

 

February Monthly Meet:

I've been to the Kent, Renton and Renton highlands one. There's a tech who knows his stuff at the Kent one, and the other 2 were meh. I've done my alignment like 4 times already in 1.5 years and so far the Kent one seemed the best. There's a manager who works at both Renton who sucks; so I just go to the Kent one now.
