Elite 'IMOC' Day - Sun 24th Feb **SE Meet** - special discounts arranged.

Post by Scott Barton »

Dear MR2 Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3 owners!
I am currently in the process of arranging a special IMOC day for us all at 'Elite' who are based in Rainham Essex, about 15 mins from the Dartford tunnel.
Website can be found here
http://www.elitedirect.com/

They are offering us various discounts on the day.
The discounts will be from 10% to 20% depending on product (ie tyres 10%) Also they be doing special offers on 'Vredestein' tyres.
http://www.vredestein.co.uk/

If tyres are required it is advisable to pre-book. They carry a large stock but just in case! Contact me for details on how to arrange any of the above offers.

The whole place will be available exclusivlely for IMOC members.
Speaking from personal experience i have had wheels, tyres and alignments done from them and the service is top notch. They use the latest 3-D Video technology. Which gives the most acurate reading you can get from any alignment machine out there. When it comes to alignments a booking in system will be utilised. They will have 3 ramps open and work on 1/2 hour bookings, it will be advisable to pre-book.
If you have recently had a new suspension fitted it would be well advised to get your alignment checked. If you are experiencing steering wheel shake, irregular tyre wear, any 'pulling' either to the left or the right, or any other weird symptoms then its best to get it checked by the pro's. Bear in mind the rubber we drive on is the last contact with the road... 8-[

I doubt I'll be after any parts as I am replacing the engine next year (I know I said that for the last 2 years!) but will possibly try and pop up - make it into a mini meet.
I am going to live forever, or die trying!

Last time I had one done there, it was about £50 - but we should get a discount off their current price.

4 Wheel alignments are well worthwhile on a MR2 as it can transform the car's handling and balance, especially if you've done any work on your suspension.

I travel round trip of 100 miles to get mine done at Elite - they're the only place I trust to do it properly and with the right gear.

Leave that to me for now. I will confirm the procedure in the next few days after they have got back to me.
