four wheel alignment

[mitchell1964]

i will be having four new toyo t1-r's fitted this weekend and was hoping someone could recommend a garage that has experience of wheel alignment on the TF?

Hi Grant long time no see, hope you're well? Can't tempt you on the run on 24th Nov can I?! Well, got to ask haven't I ;D

I've used Discount Tyres in Cwmbran a few times for 4 wheel laser alignment and never had any problems with them. Not sure if Andrew or someone else might know of a company closer to you though?

Hi Jan, i'm good thanks hope you and andy are too jerry used to go to a garage in cardiff so i'm hoping he can recommend someone. No can't tempt me on a run just yet but you never know in future

Hello Grant , try Autostop in Porth. Done ours and no problems.

Hi Grant, the place Jerry uses and myself had my F done there and Greyfox,they are excellent,address is Windway Performance Tyres and Wheels, North Clive St, Cardiff, CF11 6NR. Dave

Hi Andrew, Hi Dave thanks for the replies. I am going to try Avia engineering in bridgend as i've heard very good things about them. When i had the gaz adjustable suspension my car always felt really good but since i fitted bilstiens with x-power springs it's not the same and tyre wear on all four wheels has become uneven, i will let you know how i get on.

Just back from Avia engineering and i'm very pleased with the difference in the car, rears wern't to bad but one of my fronts was well out. Would definitely recommend 4 wheel tracking to anyone who feels there are slight issues with their car's handling and would definitely recommend Avia if your near to bridgend, very friendly and explained the whole process as they were working on the car. Just the clutch to sort out now

Hi Grant.
Nice to see you around, and obviously sounds like you still have the beast.
Look forward to meeting up again one day.

Hi Grant, good to know you got the alignment sorted Mine still pulls left even though I've had it aligned more times than I care to remember I'm thinking the next thing for me to try is getting it on a jig to see if there's a twist in the body or subframe

Are you doing the clutch yourself?

[mitchell1964]

Hi jan, no i'm having the engine fitted from my 160 into freddie so will have a new clutch fitted at the same time. I cant see there being a twist in the body but it's possible somethings happened to either the front or back sub-frames. If you have it checked you know someone with a spare 160 on the drive both sub-frames are good. Your car looked gorgeous when i passed you made me feel it's time to get the polish out.

[Fast Jan]

Ohhh have you still got that? I thought it would be gone by now. My car's off the road until mid December thanks to the overheating/cold air/no fans problem, so I can't get it to be checked for a while, but can you hang onto the subframes for now for me please?

Where you saw me was the third time I'd stopped to let it cool down - and I'd only got as far as the garage near the BAE turning! I'd been in a pull-in there for about 45 mins when I realised road-side repairs weren't helping, so it was limp home time. Worst thing was, it was the first time it had even been out of the garage for about 4 weeks as we had a few problems with roll hoop fitting that dragged on far longer than it should
