I will. If bits of house would stop failing and taking up my time. I'm going to have to take a day off and trundle up there. Why is it as soon as you want to do something loads of other stuff gets in the way. Gerr

As I've driven the car more I've noticed it seemed to have an inclination to go right on throttle and left when you get off it. So took it around to the local laser alignment place:

Before >>> After


Only driven it a short distance home but it "feels" better.

To start with we didn't think he'd be able to do it as the left rear of the car was riding 1/2 an inch lower than the right.... But after raising the car on the alignment rig it'd settled flat. scratchchin Underlying Shock problem?
I never understand why you would go to the expense of buying a machine like this and not leaning to use it properly.
OK the MX5 is one of the few cars that you need to work both ends of the wishbone to achieve your targets but other than the front toe on this car I can't see any proper alignment going on.

On stilts


Dropped 30mm/Fast Road


The latter was done at WiM (Chesham)
It was worth the pilgrimage

I've heard some pretty good stuff about Powerstation (Tewkes) and can't see you going wrong with Roddo smile

And help for me please as well.

Had my car (Marcos Mantula) on the Hunter system recently and whilst a massive improvement i find that anything more than half a turn on the steering wheel(both left and right turn) and the steering suddenly becomes tight, e.g. going around a island.

The Hunter system does not have Marcos listed so they based the calculations on a TVR being a similar type vehicle,
