BBWF Laser Geometry

[hormone]

Before we get into too much a serious point.
I have organised Center Gravity to attend the Wedgefest. They are experts in laser geometry, a mix of laptops & high tech with crawling underneath & using the spanners to attain the absolute best from your suspension & wheel geometry.
They need a vehicle that they can set up & explain to the rest of us what they are doing.
As I will be leaving the 400 at home in favour of showing you lot what a Tasmin 200 can do we are looking for a car or two to use.
If you want to get your Wedge set up properly for nowt then get in touch fast.
Only 6 days(for us that start on Friday)to go guys!

Sir! Sir! Me! Me!

Actually mine's not too bad, just a slight tendency to drift to the left... IIRC my Tasmin did that too.

[leorest]

Me too
New driveshafts and a few bushes here and there makes me a worthy cause.

[dickymint]

If your stuck for volunteers I'M in.

ME ME ME ME, new springs and dampers just fitted, need a pro for set up now!.....

[wedgtable]

If i can make it then i would be willing to pay, that has got to put me at the top of the list ( only I would still like it for free ehem!!)
I rebuilt my front end and have never been convinced!!

[badredwedge]

Maybe you should auction it ?? money to the BBWF06 Charity

[jmorgan]

Wouldn't mind a check up. Even if its payed for. Or the address.

Wedge fever has started. Just calm down guys & let me have the age & model of your P&J.
I guess he would want a car that is not set up correctly now for the demonstration to show what can be achieved with a few lasers & a laptop. Oh! and a few spanners!
It takes Chris around 2 hours to do a full set up so there should be the chance for a few set ups although I am sure that Chris will want some time for a pie & a

1988 350i series 2
New track control arm bushes at the front (castor?)
New Track rod ends (front toe?)
New leading links, uprated driveshafts and rear bushes (rear camber & toe?)
She also seems to sit lower at the rear right after the driveshafts were changed!

Could there be any more geometries with a question mark over them? With the exception of the rear toe adjusters(never tried to move them) I know everything else to be rust free and easy to move.

400SX - only done 13,000 miles, so it might be a prime candidate.

[jmorgan]

1990 400, been tweeked by someone else on the suspension side with adjustable coil overs(?) but that was over 5 years ago so no idea on its state.
117,000+ miles

PS, if anyone really needs it I don't mind stepping aside.

I'd like to put mine forward. Tasmin 200, has had front and rear suspension completely rebuilt but hasn't ever been set up. It seems to handle OK so I don't think things are a mile out, but I may change my mind about this once it's properly set up. I'm coming down Friday night so could do it early Saturday if that helps.

[hormone]

Sorry guys. They wanted somewhere to store their tools so we have found a use for the SEAC spoiler at last!
Seriously it went to the first one to contact me with their car details. This surprisingly went to Dickymint, not normally known for his speed when not behind the wheel.
This seemed to be the only fair way to do it.
See you all on Friday & Saturday.

I can't pretend I'm not dissapointed but look forward to seeing the process and learning a thing or two, assuming I'm not too pissed that is
