Tiny

Ok Guy's a few of you were aware that i was visiting ELITE ( Rainham Essex) Today ..

I Had new Toyo's TI'S fitted & The Laser 4 wheel alignment & Camber adjustments made

Oh what an awesome mod this really is !!!

But now the Good bit ...................

ELITE Are prepared to open up for us on a Sunday ,Date TBC.. If i was to arrange to get enough scooby's to turn up for this mod , They have 4 no Laser wheel alignment ramps & Can call in as many technicians as we need , A few people have mentioned to me that they would be very interested in having this done , Also not a problem if you would like to have any suspension work on the day , Springs fitted , Then the alignment / Camber set after springs fitted is also not a problem

I Was very impressed by there very proffesoinal manner & Care that they took whilst working on my car this morning & Would reccomend them for this type of work ..

About the mod .. I'm not really to tech minded , But the car feels totally different to drive ( Planted / Firmer / Turn in feels stiffer more grippy , I Had the camber set to -1.25 Degree ( Prodrive settings) So should dial out a bit of the understeeer.

You will recieve a print out of your set up before any work is carried out & Then the guy's will talk you through the readings & Explain to you what needs to be done ,Also recieving another 2 printouts after the work has been carried out .

[b]Of course a discount of normal prices is what we are after & is not a problem either , But of course the more cars , That we can get there the cheaper it will be , It needs to be made worthwhile for Elite as well for opening on a Sunday .

If there is a enough interest then perhaps i can also get a stonechip / Dentman there on the same day if reqd

So please post your interest below ( Plz tho only if you are serious about attending ) & The mod/ s that you would like done , Laser alignment , camber , suspension etc ..

SUNDAY 20TH MARCH 2005

dal have u not had the prodrive geo setting on your car before then?

i've had it from the day i bought the RB5.

the only thing to note is that due to the extensive camber you will notice major wear to the insides of the tyres so keep an eye on them.

Elite are a great company and are hard to beat on tyre prices. I have always used them for tyres.

Sounds good to me, especially when I get my new alloys back(This week hopefully), so am wanting a new set of Toyo proxes T1R's and laser alignment

My camber has been -1.25 for 12k miles now and the tyres are fine.
This amount of camber will not affect the tyres in any noticable way.

Elite are a top outfit, had my last 4 cars aligned by them and they have always been very good. They are also very carefull fitting tyres and never damaged any of my wheels.

Yes Mark had it done about 3 YR ago @ TSL

But done a couple of trackdays , Sidewards @ North weald all day & Loads of potholes So thought i would treat myself again , Will be getting it checked more often now as was way Toe was well out when i arrived

Really cannot believe how planted the car feels again !!

Glad that you have all had good reports of Elite , Must say that there customer service was

Tiny...

Tiny

Exactly as i was told , Anymore negative then you may notice a bit more wear on the tyres But -1.25 Seems the way to go

would the -1.25 camber be good for the classics?

RB5SCOTT

I get it done every time i change my tyres but i get them to put more negative camber on the fronts if your worried about your're tyres wearing out then your're not driving hard enough

Scott

Tiny

Cant drive like you !!

Essex boy remember

Cornilius , Yep that will be fine

Tiny...

Cornelius

iTrader: (2)

Thanks Tiny, I'll keep them figures in mind.

Me? not driving hard enough? PAH!! well, I don't really like the idea of having Toyo's fitted then ripping them apart, hence having not done any track days, but when I get the new wheels, the old set will be for track days so you all better watch out

spally

iTrader: (1)

definitely interested. how much will this roughly cost???

Tiny

Spally really depends on Numbers that we get

But as a guide i paid full price today

As follows

TOYOS 225/40ZR18 = £99.95 Ea

4 wheel alignment = £49.95

Camber is charged per corner @ £9.95 Mine only needed the camber set on 1 wheel only ( Other side was good )

DISCOUNTS ON THESE ABOVE PRICES IS PROMISED
