Alignment today. Apparently was really far off on all four wheels

Is that a Hunter system?

Normal alignment ok with these then?

Cheapest and best mod available

Mine was horrible beore getting setup properly - I didn't 'gel' with the car until it was done.

Even Jockman felt the difference!

Yes it was a Hunter system. First time I've seen it being done..

Not sure how bad it really was previously?

That's not too bad to begin with
The symmetry on the front after could be better
I prefer a bit less front caster and a bit more front camber

Just changed the battery in 'Blofeld'. I can say that I NEVER want to go through that again. I will happily pay for a taxi to bring the engineer from Harwoods to change it in the future...

Winter tyres fitted. Just in time looking at forecast.

Curbed an alloy. Always reverse into my work parking space, but was being lazy today and drove straight in, caught nearside front wheel. Rookie error that could have made me cry when I saw it! Going to have to refurb it as soon as possible as I'm sure every time I look at it it will hurt me inside, ha! Bad times!

On the plus side used the heated seats for the first time properly today and was impressed with how hot they got so quickly!

Indeed...they all leave the factory incorrectly aligned in any case.

I hope Justin remembered to put weights in the boot. I had a dead body in there from a previous job.

Once you touch a kerb the alignment is gone again so it can turn out to be an expensive repeat mod

[mikey k]

Question is have you done it on the Corsa

[Jockman]

No chance - 2 previous owners, both daughters - there's not much of the alloys left !!!!

Next time you're over I'll show you......it really is shocking

Not yet, I'm waiting for you to sell it to me!!!

Visited Bridgemill and had my keyfobs synced with me new security module. Usual excellent service!

The 4D silver CF was a bit nasty looking
So I've decided on another route
I'm going to get the S "sweeps" painted in the body colour then wrap the sill in 3M DI NOC and cut the S "sweeps" out so they show through in body colour
Should be a lot more scuff resistant than the OEM anodised finish and easy enough to replace if it gets tatty.

Cool. My spare set have gone in today to be done in body colour (tungsten) and they should be done for when I get back next weekend. Guy doing the work seems to think that a few coats of industrial lacquer should see them be pretty durable, only time will tell I suppose. Will post pics next weekend once I fit them. He said the other option would be to clear wrap them after painting, so that might be option two if the first goes wrong!

My task seems quite menial compared to the big workshop jobs some posters have been doing here. I just polished out the rear plastic stone protectors on my V8VR, something I had been meaning to do in my nearly 2 month's ownership. Managed to improve them slightly, but it pays to make it a regular task since there seems to be a lot of dirt staining.

"Enjoyed a great run up on Dartmoor following our Area Christmas Party. Cold and windy but a lovely drive and then took the long route home

[cayman-black]

Looks like a good run out Ian. Whats that car to the right of yours? first picture.
