heh looks like either your steering wheel is crooked or the alignment guy didnt center the wheel.

I am taking it in this weekend for the alignment, i throw it up on a rack a day ago and got all the current settings, havent had it aligned in 8 months, so i know it is out of wack. Before i had it aligned i wanted to see what i should run.

Yep, I run 1/16" out each side in the front and 0 toe in the rear. Nothing else is adjustable on a stock Type R. BTW, this is out of factory specs so if they give a grief just explain that you know what you are talking about. Also some alignment guys have trouble wrapping their heads around toe out in the front. They are so used to doing toe in. Make sure they really give you toe OUT!

when they do toe out on a laser alignment machine, specs are in degrees, what does 1/16" out convert to?

Need to know what size tire you're running to calculate the diameter in order to convert inches to degrees. There's a big difference in the toe measurement in inches between my 225/50 and 215/40 race tires.

I run 1/8" total toe out in front and 1/8" in the rear.
Car really likes to rotate.

True, I had 1/8" toe out in the rear too (GSR) and the car rotated nicely but I wasn't aware I had so much toe out in the rear, until I started noticing my street tires getting chewed up and wearing weird in the back, and decided to get a wheel alignment.
The car was not too stable on the highway or at high speeds, with that much toe out. I toed them in more and it's a lot better on the freeway and tracks very nicely now without much steering input but the handling is not like it used to be, so you have to decide what's more important to you.. If it's your daily driver and you have a long daily commute, then if I were in your shoes I 'd go with 0 toe in the rear. If you 're looking to do National tour or Pro events then I 'd say toe out to your heart's content.
