Find it Jim lol.

Right mines booked into Horsham developments in 3 rd Feb.

1. Set boost controller on rollers
2. 3 power runs.
3. Corner weigh
4. Full geometry set up.

Can't wait for that first insane drive with boost.

Will report back on how I find the company. Their highly regarded in 350z and 200sx communities.
Map link flower fc and a few others too.

I'm tempted to pop over to them to get my geo done rather than go all the way to WIM.

Are you intending to track the car because WIM told me it is pointless otherwise....

Nope not tracking owes me too much.

Reason I am doing it is it can't hurt pls not a bad price and everything has been off mine subframe new ball joints new bushes ect ect so needs doing.

Plus last owner fitted coilovers so can't promise they were setup correctly.

Will report back findings.

Well house pur base fell through.

Sad news bit bonus is I have £48,000 sat in the bank doing not a lot at moment.

So accidently bought a tyre pressure monitoring system of peter.

Think that man knows I love my toys.

Basic ramble really not much to report just waiting for the 3rd and the Rollers.

Drives beautiful after geo can't feel no more crabbing, was miles out.

Sadly not so happy with power run, 239.5bhp flywheel at 1.1bar.

Was expecting more, although scarey as xxxx compared to Mrs 1.6 focus lol

I meant to say corner weighting was only worth it if tracking - geo always worth it.

So we're you pleased with their service?

Very pleased ....

Corner weighing quick and painless

Geo I was miles out and they put it bang in the correct setting not just within the limits.

Rollers ... Seemed good to me , didn't make boost at first and they found and fixed a few boost leaks then did the runs.

Was happy was a good morning just a rather cold one as snow everywhere and a lack of heating

Would recommend

Cool, will give them a go.

I've quite a lot of adjustable goodies on my suspension, do the limit the number of adjustment points for their geo?

Well they did all mine and even the camber adjustment on coilovers and didn't charge any more so should be fine.
