Does anyone have any recommendations on somebody who can do geometry & cornerweighting in East Anglia?

I'm ideally looking for somebody in the Bury st.Edmunds area, but I'm happy to travel further if there's nobody nearby.

Cheers

Crikey, that's a surprise about Anglia Bodyworks. I'll have to pop in and see what they can do.

Are you in the BSE area, and getting a Fezza?

A very loud 355 on parkway will quite possibly have been me, but I don't remember having a 993 chasing me at any time. That may just be my observation skills though

It would be great to have a 360 in the area. I love the interior of the 360 - it's so much better than the 355 interior but I'm not a fan of the exterior. It's not "pretty" in the same way a 355 is. That's just my opinion though

I too would love a 993RS and as you rightly pointed out, prices are definitely going up somewhat and RHD's do seem to be hard to find.

A friend of mine had a 993RS which he kindly took me for a ride in and to this day, I have never been so shocked, frightened or impressed as I was that day after experiencing the combined skills of his driving and that car. It was simply astonishing and I've never experienced another driver or car in the same league.

Now I've done the "Ferrari" thing, I think my next car will be a Porsche and I'm seriousy considering trying to get my hands on a 997 GT3, although I'm trying seriously hard to fight the urge

apguy,

Thanks for the info.
Do you have any idea what kind of tyres the 355 that you tried to setup had? Looking at my tyres, they don't have a rim protector that protrudes in any way and the sidewalls are pretty flat.

I run Bridgestone on mine rather than the Pirelli's, and the sidewalls are slightly differnet.

Does your equipment need to "hook" onto the rim, and the sidewall is what stops you from being able to do that? I think mine have a bigger gap between the rim and the sidewall compared to the Pirelli's.
