NJ LHS suggestions
Hello All:
I just purchased a used RS4 SS off of ebay before Christmas. My son wanted the CEN CT4S for christmas (which he rec'd) and I wanted something used to bash around with.
After receiving the SS, I stripped the car to the frame as it needed work, I replaced the components that needed fixing and started the car up.
I set the needles to factory specifications but need some fine tuning. Here comes my question, do you know of a reputable hobby shop in the central NJ area? What is the going rate for tuning? Does tuning include steering adjustment? (camber, toe-in, etc...)
Any tracks or clubs in this area.
Taking the car apart and putting it back together was fun but I feel that I should leave the fine tuning to the pro's.
TIA

Thanx for the info...actually Jackson Hobbies is around my area maybe take a ride over the weekend.
Does the tuneup include steering tweaking?

I dont like the jackson hobby shop, the lady that works there isnt very nice and she always tries to sell me things I know about, and dont need. I wanted to buy a quart of 10% nitro for break in, and she said, go get a gallon of 20%, its better for the engine when you break it in, and its cheaper, it was $23, and their quart was $6

I really like Jackson hobbies. They are very helpful getting parts in they don't stock on. Another good hobby store is "the hobby shop" in Aberdeen NJ. The old lady is very nice to me.

BTW...we have a dealer/hobby store locator on RCU.
http://www.rcuniverse.com/dealers/dealers.cfm
I'm going to have it setup soon to also display how far each shop is from your zip code.
