The 4C modification thread
Discussion
Unless there’s one I’ve missed (in which case please add this to it) - shall we keep modifications here rather than cluttering the other thread?
Just back from Alfaworks having had the intermediate geometry mod carried out.
Well, what a transformation!
As soon as I drove off from the workshop I could tell the difference.
The drive to them this morning particularly the A1189 (?) was a bit hairy - that road was pulling me all over the place, far more than the roads where I live and they’re bad!
On the way home along the same road, it was like it’s just been resurfaced in comparison.
I drove up the A1 with so little tugging I can now drive with one hand whilst sipping a coffee with the other - means I can now utilise the ergonomically placed cup holders..
(I found it easier to grab the cup with my right hand than my left!)
Pulled off the A1 and took a wonderful back road towards Melton - not sure of its number but it’s one of those roads that flows into and out of bends, and the car was an absolute revelation - very much reminds me now of how my Exige’s were.
Over particularly rough surfaced roads it seems to not be as ‘clunky’ and rattley if you know what I mean.
Well worth the money.

The door cards certainly let the interior down (as does the plastic centre console)
I’ve seen these guys work on a Lotus and it was fantastic.

Out in the car today and whilst the geo is brilliant, it’s developed a very loud squeaking / rubbing from the front suspension.
First started on slow parking manoeuvres but by the end of my journey I could hear it over the engine even at 30-40 mph!
Something not quite right....
Just back from Jamie’s - needed a new lower wishbone..First started on slow parking manoeuvres but by the end of my journey I could hear it over the engine even at 30-40 mph!

Obviously the car is under warranty, but I figured the time it’d take me to drive home, then to a dealer for them to diagnose, then arrange a day for it to be done and drive back...etc
My time is worth more than that so had Jamie fit one.
Car feels even better than it did last week.
