If you've never had your Geo done.....

[noodleman]

Seriously, you could be missing out on the single biggest £ for £ improvement for the car....

I had mine done yesterday by Gugliemi's in Daventry and despite the initial reading showing that my car was no more than 1 degree out on any measurement, the car has been transformed.

I had more confidence driving home last night in slippery winter conditions than I've ever had before....even in the dry!

Steve then took me out in a 260bhp Audi S1 Elise. I want one.

I need to get mine done since fitting new suspension last weekend.

How much are we talking?

[noodleman]

It cost me £140.

ETA: The £140 was a fixed price and made a lot more difference to the handling of the car than the switch to S2 suspension.

anyone know if there still about as i have emailed them twice with no reply over a week now?

[jke11y]

Seldom answers emails.

I have had geo on previous Elises and Exiges done at Driversin Glasgow city centre as it is handy for me, and at Kenny Browns in Hillington.

A lot of people use Hypertech in Bonnybridge as well for elise work.

have you used hypertech before yourself?

looking to get a geo and wheel balancing done soon....

[jke11y]

I have not used Hypertech, only the other two I mentioned.

Where do you stay? If its not too far from Edinburgh, this is the garage that Murrays use for their tyrefitting and Elise work - http://www.touchedinburgh.com/business/list/bid/26...

They are round the corner from the dealer.

Join up on www.scottishelises.com I think you have been spotted in Glasgow a couple of times!

am actually in the glasgow area southside!

I am prepared to go to the best place that will do it.... dont want no hippies near my exige

Drivers is like a car modifying shop no? are they a servicing garage?

[jke11y]

Drivers do all sorts of stuff. They work on a lot of high end cars worth way more than our exiges believe me.

Go in and have a chat with the guys. Last time my car was in they let me check the measurements before and explained how it all works.

[vxc]

okay thanks very much, will get in contact with this week.

might pop in over the weekend.

[danwebster]

One degree of toe on a 16" rim is 6.6mm - consider that the rear end of your elise shouldn't have more than 2.5mm overall and you soon realise why it makes such a difference!

Did I mention that I do geo's anyone in the midlands fancy a cheaper alternative to the usual suspects gimme a shout

Hi vxc, any chance do you stay round Pollokshields? Used to live that way myself and there was a black Exige that used to be just round the corner from me. Always used to sound great!

Are you in shawland/queens park area, think ive seen your car a few times.

A friend from uni works in drivers and I know they have worked on a few elises, shouldn't be any trouble for them to do the geo and any other suspension work.

Excuse my ignorance, but is geo the same as wheel alingment?

[chris7676]

Agree it's important, but dont get overconfident now. It's so easy to go to far, especially in the wet.

CLCM at Sighthill in Edinburgh are highly thought of.
