they were just making up excuses not to do it. All the reasons they gave you is not a valid reason not to do your alignment. I've gone to discount tire with a zip tie brake line when i had my integra. They didnt complain. You should chewed the manager out and get his *** to do it.

 
Rep Power: 311

zip tie? i don't use zip ties for anything, except maybe like misc. wires under the dash or things like that.

Why did you zip tie it? don't they mount up? why did you zip tie your brake lines? just lost the bolts?

i'm **** about these little things, so there are no zip ties around my car. I usually for over the extra dough to mount it how it was stock.

 
Rep Power: 311

what did firestone say about it? why did they even care?

 
Rep Power: 268

aint ever going to firestone again. now that i fixed my tie rod ends a lil....hopefully that'll help. but adjusting the tie rods and turning it 8 times...is alot...hopefully everything works out tm. laters and thanks guys

x2 i would have chewed out the front desk guy, and the manager ****ing bitches

 
Rep Power: 311

what happen to the car?

 
Rep Power: 268

the buddyclub rsd didnt come with a hole to mount the oem brackets to it...so had to zipties the lines...ghey

 
Rep Power: 311

oh yeah, that's why i didn't purchase them a while ago.

they are the older model, the newer models have the mount for it.

 
Rep Power: 311

who installed the coils for u?

 
Rep Power: 268

tires were owned by the time i got home. alignment was way off. positive toe was like 10 degrees or some ****. they said that ziptie-ing the brake lines and stuff would cause me to end up in a fiery death. sayin that it might come loose and get caught or rub enough for the brake lines to break and me ending up with no brake and crashing. having a parent there too doesnt help

 
Rep Power: 268

mike/john/regis all helped me out today.

 
Rep Power: 311

they are technically right though.

 
Rep Power: 268

well yea but theres no other way to do it. unless i solder a mount to mount the lines on...

 
Rep Power: 268

hopefully the place you gave me will work on my car. firestone complained that i was really low and almost weren't able to get on the rack....im not even that low...

 
Rep Power: 311

that's what i would of done. brought it to a machine shop, but that's me. Actually i would of just bought a different set.

well see what you can do about that though, it is pretty dangerous for have it like that. I mean if you were to zip tie it to cause it not to rub while still having it bolted onto the car then it's fine, but since you're actually using hte zip tie as the mount, that's pretty scary.

you couldn't wait til the tech meet huh..had to get it on..haha

did you SLAM that ****?

 
Rep Power: 311

they will do it. My coils are all the way down and they do my car.

they lay down rubber mats or wooden blocks to get your car up to the ramp.

the owners are bitches though, they lie, cheat and anything to get money from you.

the mechanics (most of them) are really cool.

ask for "carlos" i usually ask for him since he's a nice guy, but for some reason everytime i ask for him to work on my car, the owners inside get all stupid and say it'll take longer and lbah blah blah since he's busy.

the thing is, he's sitting outside and he was the one who told me to tell them to have him do it...they are STUPID!



i have lifetime alignment there, which is hte only reason why i go back, had it since 2003 and it get it free everytime to **** them off! pretty cool.

i had lifetime balancing and rotation on all/any tires then out of no where they said policy has changed and it was only for that particular tire that was on the car before...so i got cheated.

the zip tie is fine...the brake lines doesn't move. The koni's i bought for my integra didnt have a oem mount for the brake lines. The brakes line are rubber and dont move so there relatively light. A zip tie is fine..long as you position it correctly. Thats not the reason, brakes have nothing to do with an alignment...wheel bearings have nothing to do with a alignment.

They just said that crap to scare you since they thought you didnt know anything about cars. Its one of those situations where you have to bitch the guy out to get what you want. He was just trying to get out of doing it, probably cuz it was toward the end of the day and he figured it would take a lot more work then he thought it would be and he wanted to go home.

 
Rep Power: 311

did ken just bring it there for an alignment that's it?

if that's the only reason why he brought it there, i see no reason why that guy was giving him **** about his brake lines anyways.

and the brakes lines do move everytime you turn the wheel.

they swivel back and forth. zip ties are ghetto, especially if you use it on something essential as a brake line.

you can get away with zip ties with your fender liners, but zip ties are just lil pieces of plastic. sometimes they snap for no reason and then what? you have your brake lines rubbing against your suspension.

the brake lines move back and forth all the time in the front..

 
Rep Power: 320

he can always use one of those aluminium connectors then with the screw i guess if its that big of a issue.

 
Rep Power: 304

the reason why the brakes lines move is because of the fact it is connected to the strut, which turns when ur turning the wheel. so in essence, having the brake lines just there not tied into the strut, is even more dangerous then zip tieing it to the strut. i see ur point about it being dangerous derrick, but at the same time, i see no problem with doing that as long as ur not taking ur car to the track or offroading it.......

 
Rep Power: 217

LMAO Using a a zip tie is not a big deal my freinds eg front bumper is on my zip ties and he smashes that thing ive used zip ties on my front bumper and misc stuff nothing wrong with using them its a temporay fix its not like he is going to have it like that forever...yea ur taking a risk but its better then nuthing.....

 
Rep Power: 311

yeah no one is arguing that it's a temporary thing, but we were just talking about the issues with using it there forever in the first place, which is not good/safe or smart thing to do

 
Rep Power: 311

also, with the struts already installed, i'm sure he would of left it like that for a long time if not there for good. just advising ken to find a better solution for it.

 
Rep Power: 304

im not trying to argue with u, im just giving my 2 cents on the subject derrick, nothing more. i know its a temp fix, but like adam said, it's better than nothing

 
Rep Power: 311

haha...that was for jdmlee john...not you...hahaha

when i say arguing, i mean more discussing...sorry.

but wasn't for u, it was for jdmlee
