- Well Joles, this isn't ideal weather.
We called the alignment shop two days ago
and we were like, hey guys we need alignment.
They were like, we're really busy.
Can you bring it in on Wednesday?
We're like, yeah no problem.
That should be super easy.
You're only a couple miles down the road.
And then this happened.
(soft music)
So, now we have to get the car to alignment today.
And we don't want to use the trailer
'cause what fun would that be?
So we're gonna get you guys a video of us
trying to get through this in a slammed car.
Hopefully, only make it in about three miles,
we should, should hopefully get there
but we have Alex on standby with the tow rope.
So, let's try to get it.
(engine running)
(soft jazz music)
- You almost slipped, buddy.
- Yeah, just a little bit.
I gotta post this on the gram for all my followers.
All 2000 of you.
- Way to go, Jasper.
- [Corey] What did Jasper break?
- He didn't put this back in.
- If you can tell us the name of this part,
we'll give you a free T-shirt.
- I can't tell you the name of this part.
How's that fair?
- Ay, I feel like it's easier to drive in the snow.
- Oh, gotta love this.
Gotta, gotta love that.
How she drive?
- Um, she drives well.
But I go, like, half turn to the left
it would scrape real bad,
but to the right, we're completely fine.
- Whoa.
- Look at these guys, they got their window down.
Looking at us like...
(soft jazz music)
(ding)
(soft music)
- Rear back.
Yeah. Rear back.
- Ah, (bleep).
- Ah! Ha Ha.
Oh.
- (bleep) total destroyed here.
- Guys, we (bleep) up.
(fast-forward sounds)
(sped-up dance music)
- Well, then.
- So, all in all, I'd say
it was a pretty successful trip.
We didn't get stuck.
We didn't go off the road.
We didn't crash.
We didn't hit a pole.
And we didn't mess up our fenders,
which is honestly what I was most concerned about
because I figured if we hit a big enough chunk of snow,
especially while we were turning,
that our fenders would just get destroyed.
(engine revs)
(slo-mo warp sound)
(normal warp sound)
- Corey, I'm bored.
Where's the E30?
- Um, I have slightly unfortunate news for you.
- What?
- They just called,
and I got really excited when they called
cause I was like, oh my God,
that was the fastest lowered car alignment
I've ever seen in my life.
- Uh huh.
- And then I got that second thought.
And then I answered the phone.
And then they said,
hey your car's too low, we can't align it.
So, there's that.
- So, how do we align it?
- Well, I have actually been on YouTube and Google
for the past like 45 minutes,
and we're gonna do it manually.
Just like they did with horses and buggies.
- Oh, maybe we should get Brent to help us with that.
Maybe he might know something.
- More than likely a good idea.
- Yeah.
- Alignments are kind of important.
- Yeah, kind of.
They make sure the car goes straight
and the wheels don't burn away.
- Yeah, let's go do that.
- Alright.
(soft music)
- So, we've got Brent working on the garage alignment,
we'll call it.
Actually, let's go with driveway alignment,
because a garage alignment implies
a slight amount of professionalism.
So, the way that we do it is you take two by fours
and kind of run them, or straight edges,
run them across your wheel.
So, basically, you're gonna run it like this
that way you can get a even point on either side.
And then you measure the distance from this two by four,
inside obviously,
this two by four to that two by four,
and that gives you the distance
between the front of this wheel and the front of that wheel.
And then you do that same thing in the back.
And then you take that difference.
So, let's say this was 24 inches apart,
and the back was 24 and a half inches apart.
Basically, that means that your toe
is in about half of an inch.
So, what you want to do,
Brent said that the ideal toe for a car, front and rear,
is about an eighth inch to a quarter inch in.
So, basically if you have them both angled in at
a half inch, you just have to adjust the toe out
until you reach a quarter inch difference
between front and back.
Does that make sense, Steve?
- Yeah.
- Cool.
Onny? Does that make sense?
Did you get that?
- It seems pretty (bleep) cool.
- Yeah.
We're doing a driveway alignment right now.
(soft music)
- Yeah, I'm just adjusting as it.
This is the inner tie rod, this is the outer tie rod,
and as we spin it, it pushes it apart--
- Okay. - or pulls it together.
- Okay.
- So, we have to push the tire out
about three sixteenths of an inch, each side.
- So, I'm gonna measure..
We're doing the redneck way of setting a toe.
- Hey, this is how you align Ferraris.
- Is it? - Yeah.
- This is how you align E30s, too.
(soft music)
- So, toe, caster and camber
are what the alignment corrects.
And camber on a stancyboy, hot boy car like this,
we just want full negative.
So, that's not really what we're adjusting
during the alignment, that's something that we adjusted
prior to the alignment and we're trying
to make up for during the alignment.
So, really toe is what we're focused on here.
Like I said, you just do that with the two by four,
measure the distance on either side,
and correct it to with a quarter or
an eighth of an inch.
- 58 then a quarter.
Sweet, right on the notch.
We're 58.
And three sixteenths.
We're pretty much, yeah,
58 and a eighth.
We're right there.
They can stall her.
- Nice.
- Run it. She's good.
- Alright, so, at first when it was on the ground you
measured it from outside to outside on the boards
and when had it up in the air..
- Yep, when I had it in the air,
I just referenced this point and this point.
It's the same.
And then we just measured to the outside--
- Okay. - Of the two by four.
I just reference the outside of the two by four
and the inside of the rim, right here, and the lip.
- Oh, okay. So yeah, cause it will be--
- Just so I measured at the exact same spot, each side.
- Right, cause it'll be the same on the outside.
- Yeah, it'll be the same on the outside.
- Okay.
- Alright, so we did end up getting the car aligned.
We did a nice little driveway alignment,
as we're calling it.
We did it with the two by fours.
We got everything buttoned up.
Car should go straight.
But while we were taking it around the block,
we realized that the heat doesn't work,
because it's negative nine degrees outside.
So, it was kind of a brisk ride.
So, then we just popped the hood,
started feeling around,
and the intake hose for the radiator is hot,
as it should be, but the outgoing is cold.
So, it seems like there's a problem in there.
So, we're thinking that the radiator might be gummed up
and that's what's causing the heat not to work.
But yeah, I guess we'll figure that out next week.
- Ah!

If you need free wheels and tires,
we can do that.
Cosmis giveaway going on through the end of the month.
And finally, we have as low as zero percent financing
going on through the end of January.
But yeah, I think that wraps up
all the deals we have going.
So, until next time.
