Abz Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 He would be better off going to Wheels IN motion I have no idea why I wrote 'of' Thank you for correcting me! nice one guys its 2 hours away from me but will be worth it because its one of the things that really needs doing i take it they have no problem with low cars? Unless it is scrapping the floor as you drive along it will be fine, they specialize in modified or track cars. As LBM mentioned speak to Tony, I think he arranged the last Supra meet there which was great too. He also sorted out my suspension\geo setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 where abouts that bud? hopefully it will be cheaper than the £550 centre of gravity quoted me £550 for a geo setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Just looked again at the clearance under the front end of the Pink Panther car - It's higher than I remember and is certainly better than mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 £100+vat last time i had mine done at WIM. Same for me. I had mine done last year there. And 10-12 hours labour involved? Really? Edit: Just seen Jamie questioned the hours involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Just looked again at the clearance under the front end of the Pink Panther car - It's higher than I remember and is certainly better than mine. Probably does better mpg as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) What centre of gravity do looks like quite an intense process! http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?118573-Center-Gravity-chassis-tuning-experience Edited February 12, 2012 by Littler (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 COG isn't just wheel alignment though, there is a lot more to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 with mine having atleast 2 bumps would i be better off going to cog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 with mine having atleast 2 bumps would i be better off going to cog? If you are planning on keeping the car then I would say yes. They will be able to fully setup all your adjustable suspension and get the corner weights spot on for you. It's a 1 time thing really, wheras getting your geo done should be every year or so.

ashbuster Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 nice one bud , i think this needs a good day on it like they do it says it takes 10-12 hours and i can leave the car there its only half hour away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 with mine having atleast 2 bumps would i be better off going to cog? Personally bud i would get it done once and pay a bit more. Even no your car sounds to have had a rough life with a bit of TLC, she would be fine. As they say its better to pay a bit more and pay once.

dude Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 nice one bud , i think this needs a good day on it like they do it says it takes 10-12 hours and i can leave the car there its only half hour away You are wasting your money Ash, just get a decent geo done, this is all race car stuff, you prob dont have adjustable roll bars, double adjustable shocks or even height adjustable spring platforms so its all not aplicable to your car.

ashbuster Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 ohh ok bud i thought height adjustable spring platforms were the things on the coilovers that you turn to lower or higher the spring lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
