4 Wheel Alignment - Check

Thing is you trash talk most stuff on here, look at how your first post in this thread reads - I just hate reading it when you make out like it is fact, especially with the style you post in. Then you go off to the Porsche forums to try and find support for you blanket 'BMW rules'

I went to Donington last time, no one even could be bothered to come and say hello let alone offer a 'be there'. Unfortunately I'm not around this time, but you've seen the vids from last time. I guess the lack of comments means there is nothing bad to say ( bit like the aventador in car video I posted, or in fact any OCUk thread)

My S2000 is not a track car. I just drive it every day, it never breaks, it makes me feel good driving it and I've yet to find anything worthy to replace it. It hit 153k miles today and I've owned for 7 years, I could talk about my Rover turbo if you want to get into modding. It's still only 250 hp on road tyres so your 'race car BMW' you seem to spend your whole life fiddling with is likely to beat it if that's what your interested in. Or maybe it won't as I've had it setup well by a suspension specialist?

Last time you parked at the other end oh the pits to everyone else. I did walk up to say hello but you weren't there. I don't remember seeing any videos.

I never said anything about the geo as gospel and made that much quite clear too. The bmw gets used as a comparison a lot because I have an awful lot of experience, I think the count is at 18 different setups I've tested on it now. Height made little difference fwiw but the truth is I'm not really very low anyway.
 
Ocuk's resident schumacher. Lol. Just replaced a wheel bearing on my celica so had the whole front right side apart. Must get this done. Is there any database around to see if a workshop has one of these machines?

That's still quite out, within tolerance, but not straight.

Thrust angle is 0 and steer ahead is 0 set nigh on exactly to manufacturer specs, it's as straight as it's ever going to get.

We had a pig of a time on a porsche last week, aftermarket exhausts were heating up the rear toe control arms and pushing the readings out, let it cool down on the ramp for an hour and the readings came in. Guy was insistent that he wanting perfect readings hot and cold which was fun considering it was physically impossible.

And remember the machine is only going to be as good as the person using it

Indeed. The Hunter machine is good but if the person using it is clueless then you won't get a decent geo. I know a guy who has some ancient alignment rig but he consistently returns my car feeling better than any other garage, including Hunter equipped ones.

Go figure.
