Wtd: MotaLeira 5 wheel tracking service
nitram38 - 17/11/09 at 07:22 PM

Anyone know of company (not kwikfit type outfits) that will be able to take their time and adjust my car properly?
I did use an old system I had but it needed calibrating and is now sold.
I just want to make sure everything is ok. It feels ok, but I want it spot on.
In the South London/ Surrey area prefered.

The proper way to do it. Centre the steering wheel/rack and locking it in place.


blakep82 - 17/11/09 at 07:36 PM

ah, right i see i thought that might have been it

Don't know of anyone round your way, but Procomp might be worth a call or AB Performance.


nitram38 - 17/11/09 at 07:43 PM

I want to keep things local for re-checks etc

You need to look for a crash repair body shop for a proper job.

Spot on - but to what?

Is there a way of calculating all the correct settings?


nitram38 - 17/11/09 at 10:41 PM

I know exactly what I need for the settings. Not calculated but an educated guess based on other similar cars

Try ADR in Maidstone. I used them to set up my geometry and they use full blown electronic laser equipment and did all 5 wheels

Rough cost and how long?


rickys2000 - 17/11/09 at 11:06 PM

Couple of hundred pounds roughly and about 4/5 hours to do it properly


nitram38 - 17/11/09 at 11:12 PM

Thats not bad

Thats just 4 wheel tracking done properly


nitram38 - 18/11/09 at 08:45 AM

I know that, but some garages just use the 2 wheel set up twice !

Opps sorry should have read Maidenhead

The places that I have seen good write-ups about are Wheels in Motion and Centre of Gravity

Never used either and they are not close to you. The other people would be Parr who do a lot of Racing Porsche but I don't know if they would be interested.
