Default Geo done

I've been sorting out the car's geo over these last two weekends. Was fairly straight forward DIYing the bolts, just taking out the alignment bolts n greasing them up. Just took them out, applied copper slip, and set them back to where they were before. Fortunatly none where seized, though one was starting to furr up a bit:





Anyway, I just thought I'd report back on the place I got it done. It's called motorworx, based in marlow. It was just under

The extra feel is due to the extra castor angle. it makes the steering more linear in its feel and response, no more severe weighting up in corners.

Looks a good job

It was a 'Hunter' of some sort, with Winalign as the software.

You must have been scrubbing tyres like crazy before, massive toe in on all wheels.

You may find the rubber lasts better now!

That's a nice added bonus. These eagle f1's (which i'm finding v good so far) are v new so hopefully this'll help em last. Though maybe not with the kind of driving I've been enjoying this weekend

I would really think so.

If you think about it, with a wheel that is pointing inwards half a degree, for every rotation of the wheel it has to slide a couple of mm sideways!

Toe can help stability, but you don't need that much of it.

Did you go for the Honda 'recommended' settings ?

or did you go for a 'specialized' set up ?
