Thank you in advance

Carnetix in Melton Mowbray will do a complete setup for you, even do a custom job based on your requirements/driving style. Not too far from you either. Then you can drive the B676 back to the A1 at Colsterworth to try it out!!  They have a website which you can google. I found them to be great and they are Subaru and Saab specialists.

Or you can go to Zen (I notice you got your engine from Paul) - he takes the car over to the Ford garage opposite and then does the work himself.

 

BTW,  what colour is your car? I'm in the Huntiingdon area and I see a fair number of scoobs around.

thanks for your help guys.

 

car is red with roof scoop, silver wheels. You're right there does seem to be a lot of scoobs around Huntingdon. Whats you're scoob like?

[Meridian]

Belated reply: mines a rally blue bugeye, with an STI8 scoop:

 

 

 

 

Is yours the one I've seen a couple of times near the hospital? I think each time I've seen it I've been on foot so you won't have noticed it. I think there's two red classics in the area, one with gold decals, one without.

Also try Cambridge Performance Tyres  http://www.tyre-wheelgroup.com/pages/find_us.html Costs about £90 for a set up

yes mine will be seen quite a lot by the hospital, it did have decals (yellow), but got fed up and felt  conspicuous, so took them off using hairdryer. I have now booked it in for a respray to replace the paint i took off my passenger side door.

I used a new place by Homebase excellent service and cheap.

Thanks

Yes mate,the dealer put the front spring top plates on wrong,Carnetix took the springs out again and corrected it.the dealer coughed up the labour charge tough,after a phone call from myself and putting Glenn on the phone to them to explain the technical bits or what was wrong !!

 

As far as settings go i THINK i went for 1.0 neg camber - i'll have to dig out the printout and find out for sure.

I just told them it wasn't for track use and i use mainly A & B roads but also told them i didn't want to wear the tyre insides too quickly !!

 

Whatever it is it handles much better than it did,hardly any body roll and it's a lot more positive goes into bends and roundabouts.

[smudga]

Without dishing the dirt which dealer was it or where abouts were they? just to make sure[*-)]

 

Yip I was thinking the same for camber, as that was what I had the old STi set at, but that was on standard springs....... Cann't wait to get them on and get rid of the choppy ride.

 

Thanks

Well went to Carnetix last Friday and you guys are right both Becky & Glen know their stuff and did a great job. Set it up exactly how I wanted and I swear they put glue on the tyres cos it just sticks and rides flat now

All in all very professional, friendly and good pricing..........deffo worth the trip and the roads up there are :P

Need progressive Eibachs as I am doing a lot of towing and the back end is too low when hooked up. Thanks for the offer m8. I am sure they will fit, but not really what I need.
