Cant get the Geo set..
Re: Cant get the Geo set..
No problem, a lot depends on how the car was geo'd in the past. Three trains of thought I have discovered are to load up the car as per the manual i.e. 2 x 75kg + 1/2 tank of fuel. Another is to geo it with one persons weight in the drivers side, being that is how the car is driven 90% of the time. And last but not least with no weight in the car.
So a lot will depend on which of the above is used and also how it was measured when it gets checked.

Re: Cant get the Geo set..
Finally got the car back to Drivers today so they could set about it with large hammers... After 8 hours of trying to get bolts out my wheels seem to all point in the right direction now. I added a pair of Elise parts Steering arms to fix the front camber. I have to say that the car goes around corners without the nightmare understeer it had previously. A big
to drivers for their help... Price was great along with the service....

Very sad to see Drivers close last week, they have done loads of work on my cars over the years and always had great service from George and the team. Now need to find someone else around Glasgow that i can trust to do work on my car.

I thought it was George that set it up?Mike Scib wrote:Gooldie wrote:Very sad to see Drivers close last week, they have done loads of work on my cars over the years and always had great service from George and the team. Now need to find someone else around Glasgow that i can trust to do work on my car., They have indeed been there a long time, spent a good few K on stereo installs with George over the years. Wonder if George will set up himself?

Bummer, I always got them to fit my tyres - even when I moved to AD07s which they couldn't stock.
Anyone know of other good cheap tyre fitters in the area?

Re: Cant get the Geo set..
Not great when a business shuts but they were never even remotely competitive when I asked for prices for things - called about tyres for the 335, quoted 700 - ended up paying 440. Tried to get a bottom price and got a blank no.
There were always a few nice cars in but there isnt the number of owners of high-end cars who will pay over the odds for the convenience I guess.

Scott,
Just got a set of t1r's on the elise at Performnce tyres in Paisley. Great service and cost £10 per corner. They couldn't beat camskill prices so they thought a sale of £40 was better than none

I think Gerry @ Performancetek in Dalmarnock has done work on a few Elises - He's a Honda specialist, and I know him from the Mini scene.Gooldie wrote:Now need to find someone else around Glasgow that i can trust to do work on my car.
