    Geo / Alignment Done

    Both, alignment so your not holding the wheel at an angle, tyre wear, fuel consumption blah blah blah... And Camber to give a better feel to the steering i.e more weight, and generally better handling. But increased camber can make the car more twitchy and more susceptible to be affected by...

    Geo / Alignment Done

    I picked my car up from Mark Fish last night after having the front alignment and camber adjusted. He said ususally they come from the factory with anything to 0.25 difference between the 2 sides. He said mine were on -0.25 and -0.75 lol! But i had taken the suspension off to put some sportlines...

    For Sale - Trophy #191

    I think its been well established now that the dampers can fail , even if the car has super low mileage. Not saying that your car needs it, probably doesnt, but I would get under the car have a look at the base of the external oil reservoir and see if its covered in oil (thats what happened to...

    All mechanics have a read and see what you think

    Yea mine was done under warrantee when it was about two years old i think, however they changed the cambelt too as apparently oil had leaked on it. I think if your piston rings were shot you would have more noticable symptoms, loss of compression etc? correct me if im wrong though?

    De cat

    I have been havig trouble trying to get my scoprion decat seal on my rs192 system. I bought it off a guy from cliosport 2nd hand so I suppose there is no way of telling whether or not it is a scorpion one, anyway, I found that if you first attach the decat to the centre silencer when it is off...

    Top Gear

    Quite true really. It is indeed VERY scripted in what they say. Richard Hammond appeared to be a bit of a knob in person TBH, bit drama queenish .... Still good day out nonetheless. Beats work anyway!
