hey all, does anyone know best place for four wheel alignment in hampshire area??
my car is steering left to right all the time, but for some reason doesnt seem like tracking, its more of a pulling side to side, handling is way off.
no but more Leicester way (well OK a bit west of) try Jeff Fowkes wheels here (http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?X=440000&Y=310000&width=700&height=400&client=public&gride=440322&gridn=309857&keepicon=false&coordsys=gb&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=LE676JJ&advanced=true&scale=500000) i had used them on scooby for 4 wheel thingy with the laser wotsits
Si (+ his infinit knowledge of all the technical terms (http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies/otn/wink/voldar02.gif)lol)
oh cool is he any good? and how much does it usually cost, cuz rx7 they usually cost a bit more...well actually a lot more:(
Blandford Tyres (in Blandford oddly enough) - excellent! RX Motors put me on to them and they really sorted my FD out. Did the tracking and the alignment in all 4 corners using their lazer thingies (technical term). Cost me £60. Bargain.

I\'ll be going back there when I get my new boots fitted (F1\'s of course).
& fraid i dunno how much it will cost for them to do a FD i had used them on the scoob the other year so was planning on using them when i get car kill jap rubber & stick new boots on, they did say they couldn\'t tell me how much it\'d cost as it wood depend on car. Jun so any idea why they usually cost more i had it in my head they were quite easily adjusted but my knowledge is rather sparse (http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/ups/sicdeth/headscratch.gif) lol

Hi Jun, whereabouts are you in Hampshire if you are anywhere near Southampton there is a place in Woolston. Called Wheel Performance.Com phone number 023 80443325 they are in Hazel Road they do laser tracking wheel allingment etc. Cheers Leigh.
hi rotorboy, im just outside of portsmouth, off the A3, i popped in to RE worx (or known as GPA) and they said there should be some people that will know some good ones.
hey scoobi_si it cost more cuz there are more adjustments to it.
but seemslike some people prob got better deals out there to do the same job, cuz this wheel place near me is the only decent one, but charging at over £100 so far :(
Jun - Blandford\'s not THAT far away from you and as I say, they only charged me £60, and did a top notch job. V friendly & helpful and gave me a full report on what was done.
Jun you are not far from me, I\'m in Bursledon there\'s two of us in one Close mine\'s a silver one and me mate Nathan has a yellow RX. Dr Gonzo is in Bournmouth and I have met Jetpilot in Poole, do the boy racers meet up around Bournmouth or is it Brighton maybe we could all crash their parade sometime. Have a miny meet ourselves.Cheers Leigh.
no skate fans among u r there? (http://www.computerpannen.com/cwm/contrib/ed/wink2.gif)
Si (just off to pub to watch the glorious saints kick sum asss (http://www.computerpannen.com/cwm/otn/angels/tdo9.gif) lol)
Leigh - definately up for that. Not much of a scene to crash in Bournemouth but it\'d be good to do the circuit in several FD\'s. Certainly turn a few heads. I know a few pubs we can make use of too... :rollin
(sorry for the thread hijack)
Gonzo i heard the pubs u like always have those grab a granny nights om thou (http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0903/sprachlos/speechless-smiley-038.gif) lol

Where are you Scooby si must be close for a Saints fan 3-0 what a result go home you Skates. Cheers Leigh.
