Road Race Chassis , Muellerized...
Posted: Wed Aug 24, 2005 8:20 am
Made the drive up to Road Race the other day,...I know you guys on the east coast don't have this luxury but I just wanted to share my experience for those that might possibly get stationed back in CA in the future.
Arrived before the shop was open so I went around the corner and got some breakfast. When I got back I was promptly greeted by Justin and then introduced to John Mueller.
The whole crew over at Muellerized was extremely friendly. They all love their job and this is made plainly evident when you talk shop with them. John has the excitement of a 5 yr old on Christmas morning when he talks about working on and racing cars. When things got down to business they even offered to give the wife and I a ride to the local movie theater to kill some time.
After the bushings/sway bar/ and alignment were done Sheila picked me up in the unofficial Road///Race Taxi and back to the shop we went.
The Car Feels Great. It's a big difference. It's like I get to fall in love with the Evo all over again. Front camber is maxed out for the stock suspension and the rear bar makes the car feel so solid,.. the car is even more confidence inducing than ever. What had become pedestrian and somewhat mundane now has me looking for low traffic/twisty roads while I drive around town. Turn in is great,.. when the front end squats the tires just bite and I've yet to be able to get the tires to slip,... 255 width grippy tires don't exactly hurt that either.
A big thank you to the whole crew over at Muellerized. Regardless of the type of car you drive a trip up to RRC to get your current setup aligned would do you good. Just watch out for that attack dog.
