Alignment ASAP

[SanderGA]

I think I need an alignment but I need it TODAY as I have plans to go to the mountain for the weekend. Any chance a regular tire shop will do it?

Unless you think it is a major issue, I would wait.  Take the time to get a proper race shop to do a 4 wheel alignment check and corner weight.

 

A regular shop will get the front alignment ok if needed.  Corner weighting is where you will really see a difference in seat of the pants driving.

What Croc said. Is it not handling right?

The toe in looked wrong to me so I thought I’d have someone check it before I drive 1,000+ miles this weekend. Drives fine though. Butler Tire, a high-end independent tire shop in Atlanta, was kind enough to check it. The toe in was about one degree off and they put that right. The camber was off about a half a degree without a driver and we elected to leave that alone rather than pulling suspension parts off to add washers. I’m all good now. It’s been a busy week: new ECU, coil pack, battery, and an alignment.

 

My Porsche is in the body shop so the Caterham and I are gonna go terrorize Pcars at the Rennsport Dragon Rally in North Carolina this weekend. Hope I can keep up. :-o

I have no doubts you will keep up.  In my extensive experience, Porsches mostly spray off into the scenery as they demonstrate a driver's lack of talent.
