WHERE: Spinning Wheel Tyres, Bourke & McEvoy Sts. Waterloo. Enter through Young Street
WHEN: Saturday 24 April from around 8am
COST: Club Members’ special deal of $77 per car. Pay on the day.
Four wheel alignment. Stuart is a whizz on MX5s – ask Charlie Brown - and you can sit in the car, but we won’t manage individual weighting with the number of bookings.
BOOK DIRECT: Phone Spinning Wheel at 8396 7888, ask for Fulvio and the MX5 Club special. First in first served – so book early.

I totally agree. Stuart is a whiz and seems to know the MX5 really well.

I wouldn't let anyone else align my MX5.

Another recommendation 8) Here's a chance for you young guys to get together and make this a great Tech. event. If you're as quick on the trigger finger as you are on the gear shift and accelerator, you can fill the bookings while the old guys are still scratching their backsides after getting out of of bed. Did you say getting out of first gear?
Some think they never get out of that :lol:

I'll come for a geeze maybe, but since I already get Stu to align my car I don't think I'll be joining in :)

I just had Stu do the alignment on my new NA8 yesterday. Just the wheel alignment alone has transformed the car... I've been using him for 6 years now and will not go anywhere else.

How much does it costs to get Stu to do a complete alignment normally?...

I might need one sooner rather than later.

Read the heading. :cry:

Then head to here http://www.mx5.com.au/nsw/membership.htm Fill out the forms and send them off and then come and join in the fun that everyone else is experiencing week in week out.

Stu did my car four weeks ago. Not much improvement, :roll: only took 3 seconds of my PB around Oran Park. :D :D :D

I don’t know if Gramps has arranged a special deal with Stu about sitting in the car while the alignment is done but normally he won’t allow this. What he will do is to take a reading with you in the car and one when your out and then adjust the final figures to suit. My camber readings ended up spot on even each side when we checked them after the alignment was completed.

Oh and Stu gets a little testy if people start giving out his secret alignment specs developed over many years, so its best to keep quite or if someone wants to know just say “my figures are around ‘x’ & ‘y’, go and see Stu and he’ll do it for you”.

As Broady said the normal price is $88, so it's a good saving and you can have a chat while its being done to other members and then head off for a blast through Natio after.

Booked for 9:15 :)


It will be interesting to see the comparison, as I usually have my wheels aligned by Heasmans Steering.
