NB 4 Wheel Alignment Settings
Discussion
Yes, I'll be going back in a few weeks time to get them done again. I'd hunt out my settings but I'm on holiday at the moment.
Edit; have a look at this thread http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=7... Perhaps just best to give WIM a call, as per his post.

Do you know, I actually overlooked Paul, because Ive been looking for a Hunter-equipped firm.
There are many alignment shops using the latest Hunter equipment that can't/won't help you with anything other than alignment to factory settings.Paul's alignment rig enables him to dial in suitable settings for your car and intended use but more importantly he has a wealth of experience in setting up MX5s for the road and track.
Quite honestly, if you are local to Sheffield you would be daft to go anywhere else.
Unless you fancy a trip 'over the hills' to these guys who have the very latest Hunter Imaging aligner and are top level Ma5da Racers!

Well, the car went off to Richard and Fraser yesterday. Dropped it off, explained how the car will be used, and they weighed me (rather scary considering how unfit I am) and then I went off to Morrisons for a full English breakfast while they fettled with the car.
The reason I got it done was that I'd recently had Meisterr coilovers fitted and was attending a trackday at Oulton Park today.
After demolishing my breakfast I returned to have a quick tour of their facilities and an explanation of what they do to the race cars, which was quite enlightening - some pretty good gains to be made without going FI.
They then talked me through what they'd done and a couple of issues they'd spotted with my car that I need to get sorted. I've got to say the car felt much more planted on the way home and it behaved perfectly on the trackday today. I even paid Richard a quick visit after I ripped the power steering belt to pieces on the trackday today.
I've got to say they offered a great service from people who are experts in MX5's and I've no doubt my car will be returning there in the near future.

I really need to pay you a visit now
(Mr Slow on Nutz).I just wanted to echo the comments about roddinsons in Sheffield.
I've taken two of my mx5's there, a mk1 and a mk2.5 and both felt transformed on the drive home.
Btw Simon I asked for his "fast road" settings as I didn't want anything too aggressive because I used them both daily.
Actually my mk2.5 as standard (2004 s-vt sport) with just these settings changed is pretty much my favourite setup I've had on any mx5 so far.

I spoke to Paul today Rob. Id got so hung up on finding someone with Hunter kit, whod use non-factory settings and who understood MX-5s, that I completely overlooked him until his name was mentioned here.
I tapped him up to do the engine too, but he cant do it until after his first race at the end of March, so its still looking like Doncaster.

Rodders aligned my track car too. He asked me how I wanted the car to be used and we talked about how it previously handled and then he sorted it out. I could immediately tell the difference and it turns in much sharper than it used to with no understeer. It doesn't really matter what equipment he uses to measure the geo, it's his experience that matters.
