Default Suspension & corner balancing

I called and spoke with Darrin at West End Allignment in Gardena Ca. on a buddy’s recommendation. After discussing my car I set up an appointment. I realize there are lots of specialty shops for our cars and I am careful to call anyone or anything the best but this shop is incredible. The attention to detail and what I can only describe as prideful work ethic these guys offer is awesome. Darrin discussed my driving habits and what I wanted out for the car. He then proceeded to disassemble front and rear suspensions and systematically reassembled everything to the desired specs. Ride height, spline adjustments, all rubber inserts, and corner balancing.

I could not be happier with the immediate improvements and overall feel. 5 stars for this shop and father/son team.

Default Morning drive through the hills





My first drive through the hills since West End Allignment did their magic. Incredible how well a 50 year old car runs the curves. Nice work Darrin!

Darrin is one of the best around, he set up my 3.2, I drove up from San Diego to get my car done there and also couldn’t be happier with the results.

Same results for me. The car rides and handles great for being 50 years old. I am now waiting for an appointment to drive my 993 down for the guys to dial it in too.

Default Morning solo drive

Early morning drive with a cup of coffee and the sounds & smell of an air cooled machine. Pretty relaxing 😎

Default Transmission upgrades

Delivered my car to Benton Performance in Anaheim Ca. today. John will be rebuilding and upgrading the original numbers matching 5 speed transmission to be re-installed to replace the 4 speed I’m currently running. Looking forward to the results.

@rrc715 As a guy that's had both a 66 912 and a blue car, I have to say, that is a really beautiful and fun 912 you have. I miss my outlaw too. They are so easy to drive and take care of. Congratulations and what a smart way to go. I just did a 60k/6 year 'catch up maintenance on my 13k mile 2011 TTS (bought this spring) and I swear, it cost more to change plugs, drive belt, air filters, PDK pan/filter/fluids, diff fluids, brake flush, oil change than what it cost to rebuild my 912's engine back in 1994.

I am not having any more fun (and probably less) than you.
