all i can say is wow! what a difference! the car feels like its had 50bhp put on the engine!
Having met with Northy and Gaz at Port-formance last week we had a poke about (as guys do in sheds :lol: ) as i feered the steering column or drive shaft had play in it. Having sat in the passenger seat while gaz took it for a leisurely drive he came up with the suggestion that the rack was fine as was the column as it was all sharp, just wanted to tramline and go all over the shop! so he suggested the tracking be sorted...
...waited a couple of days then did the rounds, kwik fit, national, ats etc.. none of which could fit their equipment on my wheels as its been seriously lowered! haha was funny, until i was told i would have to go to a specialist place where they simply drive onto a ramp and it does it digitally with no gauges etc.. at a cost of £100 or so! gutted..
did some research and found a local place 'Stapletons' in woolston, warrington. booked it in and hey presto all sorted! apparently they are supposed to be +2, but mine was -8 or something ridiculous! all done and the car is fab! so a big shout out to Stapletons, great work, very competitive pricing too and a nice bunch of guys. defo recommended!
also big up to Gaz for suggesting it in the first place! well chuffed! getting my gunnerchip fitted on sunday, my accellorator cable done at the same time, brand new heatshield as soon as i get it delivered and new brakes alround! going to be a sorted spanking motor! 8)
