    Is a wheel alignment important? Quite clearly, yes! 😂 Thanks to DGT wheels for having us.

    Jared needs to realise that there are other wheel styles than three spoke that’ll look good

    Hi from Australia- really enjoying your S2 videos - for better or worse 😁
    What colour is your S2, I’ve got a Baltic Blue 89 Tutbo, i think its the same colour as yours??
    Subbed, thanks

      Glad you like them! Correct, it's Baltic blue... in most places at least 😂 Thanks for the support mate.

    Hi,
    What was your symptom that led you to do an alignment ? On my 944, the steering wheel is shaking at a certain speed (around 120 km/h), I don't know what could it be.

      Main reason was that we knew this car needs some care so as we have new tyres on the car we wanted to see what the alignment was like. We also have some slight wheel shake and for us we've discovered that one of the front wheels is warped so it's not fully round. But alignment can also cause this from my understanding.
      Might be worth getting your wheels balanced as they'll be able to find out if you have a warped wheel before you start spending money on alignments 👍

      look for the wheels to be out of round or not properly balanced when you get the shaking like that.
      uneven tire wear or pulling to one side or another is usually an alignment issue.

    What happened? Steady content on this and then… ghosted

      Incredibly slow progress. The next big job is bodywork and we're awaiting a slot at a very talented place called WorkshopSeventy7. With their quality, the next episodes will be worth the wait but it'll be another month yet before you see anything for Project 944! The Turbo build on the MR2 is going well though so keep an eye out for that 👍
