After waiting forever for the oil pan to show up, I finally got it and put it on. Now it was time to drive the car down to Xander's work to get another alignment. The car actually didn't feel too bad on the way down compared to the first time. But I needed mega sweet more lows alignment to get that sick mega tyte fitment bro. So I show up out back and wait for Xander to come out. This time everything didn't go so smoothly, apparently being just about a half inch lower made it impossible to get on the rack. More pictures in the link, sorry for the shitty iphone quality.
Right away it was obvious that this was not going to work without some ghetto rigging. Xander: "Stupid 240, why u so low?"
We decided to say screw it, and tried driving the car up. Yup, its stuck on the frame rails.
After barely fitting the jack under the back of the car, we jacked up the back end, and we rolled the car forward onto the rack while it was jacked up. Then we thought we were good so we drove it forward, this was bad because now we were stuck on the jacks of the alignment machine. So now with the car on the rack we had to jack up the front of the car, take off the metal plates that it was hitting, roll the car back on the jack and take off the rear plates. Finally, it was on the rack, ready to go.
Apparently my car is low now that with the car sitting down the rear upper control arms in the rear were touching my frame so the car had to be raised up, adjusted, and lowered back down onto the rack. Fun stuff. Finally the car was done. Alignment was pretty similar to last time except now, I had a tad more camber in the back, a degree less camber in the front, and more caster.
Rear camber is now -1.15 (left) -1.10 (right). Rear toe is close to zero.
Front camber is now -3.08 (left) -3.05 (right). Front toe is 0.14 left and right.
Front caster is now 7.74 (left) 7.85 (right)
My car left its mark on the rack.
