Geometry check,get it done

Elculo · 22-04-2004, 17:45

I got a great deal from Phil at Chiltern Tyres (Merityre),on 01844 261181,4 GSD3s,a full laser geometry check and an oil change,a bargain

and the geometry was out,as usual,i have never had car that was right.

here are the sheets,Phil got it pretty much bang on,the chassis wouldnt budge anymore but its as near as damn it and the Toe is bang on

before

after

cheers Phil,great work

Cheers Dave nice to have met you...i`m glad your happy with the results and just to explain the top sheet is before, the bottom after adjustment...unfortunately the rear axle would not quite come over enough to get it in spec;...(not far off though)

how do you find the F1`s??? and the nitrogen??

Phil
P.s dont forget to check your wheel bolts after 100m.......120nm

Can you tell me the benefit of Nitrogen filled tyres>????
Is it that they hold a constant vloume ???

Cheers

Did you manage to get the new wheels on in the end?

Elculo · 22-04-2004, 22:17

nope,1mm out

shopping for others at the moment,Phil did try,but we needed a lathe tbh

piv34uk · 23-04-2004, 08:29

don`t forget peeps you need a center bore of 57.1mm for wheels to fit on the hub........unfortunately Daves were 56.1mm you could say he wasn`t happy

I am a turd though

vRS_Si · 23-04-2004, 14:07

Can you not have it professionally machined out?
Guess it depends how badly you want the wheels

Elculo · 23-04-2004, 18:28

Ive sold them now Simon,and i am searching for a <coughs> correctly sized set

**mannyo** · 23-04-2004, 18:50

Elculo, now this has been done does the car feel any different with regards to understeer and how is straight line stability.

Elculo · 23-04-2004, 19:04

only just running the tyres in,but had a quit blat today and it feels more assured under hard lock,the turn in is sharper and of course,i have less wheel spin due to having better and bigger tyres

wont really know until the Ring trip
