Geometry Setup

[hi_jac]

Will probably give these guys a go when i do mine next time round

what are they like price wise?

Give them a call, i'm sure they will answer all your Q's

[hi_jac]

So what time did you get down to ? :D

Not sure where this is going but i'm sure we will find out

Graham ( Mr Whiteline ) is based in Dunfermline and he has a purpose built unit dedicated for suspension research and development,

suspension upgrades, corner weighting and geometry setup. When Graham set my car up i took ten seconds of my lap time at Kammes

and he has looked after the car ever since. Whiteline's business is handling why would you go anywhere else.

Jac I find it hard to believe that you took 10secs off a lap time at Kames purely on a geometry change, unless your car was so badly set up that it was pointing in all directions, which I also doubt.

John at Progrip's business is is 99% alignment and handling thats why most dealers in the area use him. His prices are also very reasonable for the service provided. I have not had any experience of the other guys, so cannot comment, but plenty others have been more than happy with the service of the rest of those mentioned. I would add that I am totally unbiased as I have no sponsorship or other ties with Progrip other than thats who I use to set up my race car and road car, Jac cannot be as impartial.

There are lots of people in this area that can provide this service and are more than just competant. Kenny Brown in Hillington is another, Duncan at Hypertech as already mentioned and Graham at Whiteline. It comes down to who you feel comfortable with and cost. The average road car doesnt need any experiments carried out on it, the settings to make a road Impreza handle well, while still retaining reasonable tyre wear are hardly rocket science. The good thing is that there are so many choices in this area all of which will provide a good service.

The first time i recorded at Kames was a 90sec under instruction of Ian Gemmell how built the track.

After having the car set up with Graham at Whiteline over the season the fastest time recorded was

a 80.8 That makes a 10sec improvement. Now lets not turn this in to tit for tat.

Dunk was asking about Whiteline and i have gave a honest opinion and stand by everything i said.

Jac you could start and arguement in an empty house. I merely pointed out that you implied you made a 10sec improvement as a direct result of a geometry change. That is not the case, the case is the improvement was down to :-

a)The experience you have gained over the season on how to drive the car and learning how far you can push it.

b)Experience of how to tackle Kames.

Changes to the geometry would result in time improvements which are a fraction of 10 secs.

If you care to read all the post I also mentioned Graham at Whiteline, Duncan at Hypertech and Kenny Brown all as alternatives to Progrip. Your reasons for posting were totally different from mine. You have a sponsorship arrangement with Graham and as such are trying to hard to sell his services to recompense for his time and expense on your car. I have no such arrangement with Progrip, I pay the same cost as everyone else and am happy with that arrangement.
