I would be up for that. Anything happening with this, or do we just arrange it individually? After having a bit of a drive yesterday I really think I need my alignment checked out.

big_joe Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I'm going to try get booked in for next week, I'll mention that there are other people interested. I can't really see there being a group buy discount though as it's already so cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Fantastic price mate. A full race setup with testing inbetween cost 300quid but that includes corner weights. So even with that excluded Iyok got a good deal. Can you post up your geo sheet as others with OEM setups may benefit������ Here's mine if it means anything to you boffins. Apparently the VAG Beissbarth system is the best one you can get, Nice sharing yours alignment printout and looks shockingly like you were way off and most of the geo has been restored to stock range but I am concerned that your right front parameter is way off the left suggesting something is wrong. Could be the bushes, failed damper or bent control arm; all guess work at this point so please investigate. Off course your car will feel better to drive coming from the boat settings you had beforeí ½í¸Ž I would be surprised if there is a problem as the garage never said anything was way out. Since then the car been to Ross at Japex for a P1 and he went through it and did a full condition report with no reported problems and its also had a recent MOT.

ioneabee Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 The guy at Avia does full corner weighting too. He's been involved in Motorsport for years and has built and set up and raced lots of single seaters. That obviously costs more, its basically charged by the hour. Funny thing is though it's just as much an art as a science with him, no print out but he was showing me exactly what he was doing and why he was doing it, using the standard 'book' geometry as a base (1st go) then tweaking it to make it drive better. I just wish I understood it better! I've been places before that's had all the kit with the print outs, but if the operator didn't know exactly why he was going what he was doing, then it's just a bunch of green boxes on a screen. Sent from my AT10LE-A using Tapatalk i had mine checked out by him as well - he doesn't need all the fancy geo printouts (though its nice to look at) Mine was innitially showing an annomaly, with slight out on the chasis, but had been corrected at the factory - so he said all perfectly correct and normal. As i recall he charged me £25 because other than checking it he didn't do anything top guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Brede Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Had mine re-aligned on the recommendation of Mitz at http://cougarstore.co.uk/ after he fitted my new front bushes my Zed now corners like it's on rails, well worth the price of less than a tank of petrol to be able to have more fun and control when driving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure if that's what people want to do. Can anyone geniunely interested send me a PM and I'll try sort it out? Maybe a drive out in the country after if it's a nice day?

big_joe Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Guys, had this reply from Andy turner makes sense I guess It would be more beneficial if each car could be booked in separately. If then there is any problems that arise on any particular car there is then the time to rectify this and discuss available options etc. The problem with block bookings makes this more difficult without causing a backlog of waiting.

big_joe Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Just to update this, I finally got round to getting my alignment done at Andy Turners. Nice guy and a real Motorsport enthusiast. It's totally transformed my car, no more skittishness, feels really planted now and the front end turns in sharper. Only charged me £40 too, bargain. Got my recommendation anyway if you Yorkshire guys are still looking to get a geo setup done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 It's the next job on my list to visit him when get car back, having new fan fitted at the mo, 33 degrees in a queue at Le Mans for 90 mins killed the last 1 it would seem. I'll have a Yorkshire meet up on me own then!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_joe Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 His premises are pretty small to be fair, wouldn't suit a meet. What space he did have was taken up by 2 E type jags, an impreza and some crazy drag American truck things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 At last got round to sorting this out at Andy Turners, taken the zed & the shed over last 2 days, £40 cash each. Both cars handling a lot better now, wish I'd done it earlier, a little money well spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGT4 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 spent 30 on full alignment at local nissan garage when had new bridestone boots fitted all round well worth it if to avoid prematurely trashing expensive rubber it's these basics that get skimped on to save a few quid....

Spork Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Anyone know a good place in Hampshire/West Sussex/Surrey? I'm considering 'The Wheel Alignment Centre' in Southampton, although I haven't been able to get hold of them yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) We have the latest HUNTER Hawkeye system, just on the edge of Surrey/Kent area. RH89HJ And have a lot of experience with Zeds. Edited September 16, 2014 by Mark@Abbey m/s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davewagon Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Wheel alignment was the best money I ever spent on the Zed. Can thoroughly recommend Orbit Tyres in Rushden for Hunter Hawk Eye alignment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my recommendation anyway if you Yorkshire guys are still looking to get a geo setup done. Excellent price.... I am over in Darlington so not too much of a major haul over to Leeds area. Did you need to pre-book? Also, anyone know if "Falcon Performance engineering" over at Middlesbrough do 4 wheel and what kit they use?

heyho Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Just to resurrect this thread and thoroughly recommend Andy Turner Motor Engineering in the Leeds area. This guy knows his stuff and is a perfectionist (and also has the neatest garage I've ever seen). Had a few issues loosening some of the adjustment bolts but wouldn't give up and even used the heat torch where he could. He uses Jamag laser alignment. Was there about 90 minutes and he charged £50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluethermal Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I can vouch for Scott and Mark at Abbey, just had mine sorted and the car feels much better for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
