I dropped in to Heasmans today to visit Doug Heasman, Peter and his son Chris for a wheel alignment on the Jazz. I installed the coilovers ages ago now and I never bothered with a wheel alignment, mainly because I was just too lazy. LAZY IS BAD! The tyres have been screetching badly on right hand corners not to mention understeering like a motherfucker all the time. I haven’t been complaining though it’s made the car even more interesting to drive lol. Kind-of like a challenge but I knew this was going to lead to some pretty bad tyre wear so I booked it in.
Doug was busy backing in an R8 when I got there.
Nice and easy does it, she’s in the bay.
I had an hour to burn so I took a long walk down to Newtown to check out Hell on Wheels BMX shop which was so ridiculously chock with cool shit I could have dropped $10k in there but I’m glad I didn’t. Newtown’s still got it though, despite being attacked by yuppie cancer it’s still cooler than other suburbs around town.
Bombed van.
OMFG they were shut!!!
The drive home was super fun, the Jazz feels completely different. Cornering is a lot heavier now, heavier steering doesn’t always equate to better steering feel but in the case of the Jazz anything is better than nothing! Doug’s always setting my cars up as aggressive as possible. I don’t even have to ask him anymore, love the guy and love his work.
I came home and found a parcel at my doorstep:
Specialized Deviant with Oakley O-Frame goggles (hmmm not sure about the gold, wish they had the flouro green!).
It’s light, fits really snug and make me look hard even in the bathroom mirror…. bahahahah!
