To geo or not to geo?
Discussion
Hi all.
Recently acquired my second Elise after 5 years away. (Man I never should have sold my first one!!). I refreshed my steering rack as it had developed some play and while it was off I replaced the track rod ends. I’ve had it tracked and it’s loads better.
I’ve got a track day booked in a couple of weeks and was contemplating have a full geo done. However looking at my results after the tracking it’s not a million miles out with the exception of the rear toe (which I can have done at my local garage if need be.)
Do I go for a full geo now or wait until I refresh all the bushing that are probably pretty tired by now?
If I do have a geo does anyone have any suggestions for a specialist in the Derbyshire/Yorkshire area?
Also, do the cambers look ok? I think the rears are ok but not 100% on the fronts.
This is the output form the tacking:

looks all half decent for road use.
I'd have the rear toe adjusted equally. 15 min is OK for road use AFAIK. Some prefer more like 30 minutes each side for track or sprint use.
Best to talk to a specialist and tell him your preferred way of handling and use.
If the "specialist" does not know how to translate this into a Elise geo, go elsewhere.
The UK has a number of very decent and experienced shops (as in Elise platform race & series winning experienced) who can do that for your Elise.
Datum, Hofmanns, Guglielmo Motorsport, HPE and a few more just to name a few.
It will be worth driving an hour or three.
