Had geometry done today
« on: 21 January 2008, 16:13:37 »
Needed doing since Mark did my Wishbones and Droplinks.

Car now drives much better.

They have the Hunter DSP 600, and charge £49.90 for Full Geometry  :y

They did struggle a bit, had the blowtorch out a bit.

Not quite, weird bits of kits attach to each wheel, there are wall mounted 'lasers' which seem to read the kit.

Misread that at first and thought they'd left you with 5 degrees of camber ::)

Looks like it wasn't far out :y

Thrust angle needs to be 0, and osf camber looks a way out to normal to me...

Think its a case of 'all the gear, no idea'

Getting them to do anything but 'in the green' was not easy.

I suspect their pricing point doesnt really give them much time for real fine tuning, even if they knew exactly what to aim for ;)
