Glebe area alignment recommendation

Postby timdowen » Sun May 14, 2006 11:03 pm

now the koni/kings have bedded in, its time for an alignment. i have a standard spec alignment printed from this forum and want to get some advice on whether there is anyone who can do a good job, near to glebe (sydney).

i presume i just hand them the sheet o' paper with the little numbers and they dial it in??

cheers

Tim,

If you can get to Wolloomolloo try the Spinning Wheel in Burke St. The guy there knows what he's doing and does several forum members cars. They aren't real cheap and specialise in high end cars but they stand by their work and will usually make changes free of charge if you aren't happy.

Top Tune at North Sydney? I think Craig uses them and recommends them.

Another recommendation for Spinning Wheel. 8)

Stu's the man with the spanners.

It will cost you $88 for all four wheels but as Gary said you can go back and have adjustments done if you don't get the handling you are after.

They dialled up an alignment on my NB that gave me the NB8B/C standard class championship last year with the NSW club and this year no other NC has come close at Wakefield or Queensland Raceway.

Bob Jane in Summer Hill/Haberfield do a lot of race cars but are usually too busy on a Saturday to do anything too involved.

No I don't Phil - it hasn't happened to me yet so there is still light at the end of the tunnel as long as you keep pushing the limit in that "limited edition" NC of yours. :lol:
