Question

Can anyone recommend somewhere in the West London/Surrey area who can sort out my geometry on my Scoob!

Had my first track day in the Scooby and was shocked by how much understeer it had, totally knackered 2 Goodyear F1's which didn't help!

Any help/advice would be much appreciated!

Cheers
Dom.

Powerstation in Cheltenham are as good as anywhere believe me. Let them do the full bumpsteer and geometry and you will think you are in a different car. They do it while you wait and tell you exactly what they are doing and why. Its not that far to drive for you I think.

There are lots of places in london. They just need 4 wheel Laser alignment facilities. Just call around. I remember becasue i needed it done with my Intergrale Evo 2. Audi dealers have the facilities becasue of all the 4wd cars they produce. I know because i had an S3. Try Hunt and Keal, They are new suabru dealers in london. They are Bentley and Rolls and have just started doing subaru, but they might be able to help. Their number for the service center is 02088383113.

One point Dom, Powerstation will know the best geometry settings for your car to the single minute and there are not too many places which will do the bump steer mod-that does make a big difference believe me.

I think you're right Les, I guess after I've had my car Linked on Saturday it'll give me a good excuse to go for a bit of a drive off the Motorways!!!!

I'll give them a ring!

Cheers

Ok Dom, good luck with all that, for your interest I found that the Whiteline solid anti roll bar links also made a significant difference to the balance of the car, these were the rear links since my front ones were solid already. You might want to consider that since you are going to do track days.
