Wheel Alignment (The Conclusion)

[Rotorboy65]

Hi Ian, see you are in Soton same as me. Where did you go for your wheel allingment, was it local, is it expensive? wow three questions in one sentence. Have been thinking of doing mine for ages, just need somewhere trustworthy. Cheers Leigh.

Hi Ian, will give them ago very soon, car is going down too Geff next Monday for some bit\'s and bob\'s. Will be going too Japfest hav\'nt even thought about a leaving time yet. What time you going, anyone else in our area going that you know of?. Would be good to follow someone else up, I\'m in the Bursledon area you very close?Not sure about Rotorstock defo want too go but not sure which day too turn up. Would like too do all three but alas must choose just one. I was thinking of the Monday, what I can work out this is going to be the best looking day for action (correct me if I am wrong lad\'s) I know all three look brilliant but can only do the one day anyway will see you at Japfest cheers Leigh.

NOt sure what time im gonna leave, but I expect it to be  around 8am, (ish!!). IM in Park Gate so just up the road from you.

Will be going to Rotorstock on the Sunday and staying over.

Ian

PS what car/colour etc you got then?

[Rotorboy65]

Have seen your car, red one am I correct?. Saw it parked near garage in Park Gate some time ago. Mine\'s a  silver auto R Magic body kit 18 inch black 5 spoke chrome lip alloy\'s a few engine mod\'s but mostly exterior mod\'s working on interior next year. Just up the road from Nathan with his yellow one soon too be TVR Blue that\'s if he has\'nt changed his mind again. He\'s going too Rotorstock if his new and very nice bodykit is fitted in time. Should be nice when it\'s finished. Cheers Leigh.

Nah, got a black beasty mate! This ones mine.........

Have seen Nathans around, I know its been rebuilt a couple of times as a mate of mine ia a friend of his fathers. If you follow!!

[Rotorboy65]

Ah a black beauty looks real mean, is that carbon fibre on the wheels?. Got many performance mods under the bonnet?. Yea Nathan has been a bit unlucky with his car you are right regards rebuilds 2 in a year. I keep telling him it\'s jinxed even had a hose split 2 weeks back, gotta feel for the guy been very unlucky. Saw another black 3rd gen 2day near St Marys stadium(yep as Scooby sez come on the saints) white alloys and white Viper stripes seen it twice now could  be someone on here. See ya soon Leigh.

Carboned Mazdaspeed MS-01\'s. Dont looka much in that pic, but they look the dogs in the flesh!

Yeah lots under the bonnet, making between 320-350bhp

If your in the Park Gate area look me up, Im in Duncan road, just behind the bank.

Later bud!

45 mins at £90 later and my wheels are now laser aligned according to Mazda.

The setting I got from a recent thread elsewhere on the forum were in inches but STS use degrees so I didn\'t use them in the end.

Thanks to davefrith and andyp for the heads up on STS.  Found it in the end, after driving back and forth along Shuttleworth road a couple of times

Car certainly seems less twitchy now, yey!  Feel a bit more confident going into corners now.

[Andyp]

glad you got along with it mate, makes a heck of a difference doesn\'t it

Yeah not the most obvious of places is it hehe

[davefrith]

£90 ?! should have mentioned our names and got it for £50 !!

[chrisBoid]

Yep, was a bit miffed it was more than you guys, but they were quite a bit out, lots of red on the monitor

[davefrith]

i think it was because there were two of us last time

but I\'m suprised he didn\'t contunue the discount especially as I took loads of cars to pass on to club members
