I really need mine doing but I don't know where does it in my area... They only seem to 'track' the wheels, but not properly...

I need my camber set up and my tracking done but think it could do with 4 wheel alignment

Ok guys here's today's update.. To start with got the car up on the ramp and assessed the coil-overs rubbing the wheel. I've been advised that spacers will sort this problem out as the tracking and wheel alignment won't but here's a few pics so you guy can see to:

Ok now on to the best bit for today, went up to Longlife Exhausts in Caerphilly this morning and was quoted £80 to sort out my exhaust, this consists of cutting out my middle box (£40 alone) and sorting the position of the back box out.

So to begin with a little inspection.
Image

Then my centre box was cut out.

Image

Then the fitting of the new pipe began so the Welding began:
Image

Image

Image

All done:
Image

Image

Image

Back box has been fitted properly now and no longer hangs out by 4" or so:

Image

And as I was about to jump in and take my ars home I noticed my splitter paint has cracked and come off :(

Image

Image

And to finish:
Image

Comments welcome, video to follow later tonight.

If the camber bolts are fitted properly by garage they will pull the wheel away from the coilover, if you raise it abit it will sort it aswell,

It the lower you go the more the wheel will camber in, so by being down past 60 normally leads to the problems your having, get it laser alligned by a place that will work with camber bolts and it will be sorted

Exhaust looks good but you could have bought a race tube from ebay for sub £40, but stainless is better, bet it sounds sweet now :)
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

My mates doing it for me at his place they do it all so hopefully this sorts it, then it just leaves the set belt and rad, tried doing the seat belt yesterday and only thing that happened was me taking a chunk out my finger, T40 is in way to tight!

Image

Yeah hoffman one was £30.75 posted I think but longlife was like 15 mins from me so went to see the owner who's a friend of mine, plus I got discount for being part of a car club they loom after to :p.

So quoted me £40 for middle pipe and it has a longlife guarantee on it, and then £40 to sort my back box out as it was hanging to low, to far back and above all rattling it's tits off where it wasn't positions properly and sealed to stop blowing :).

yeah it sounds awesome, ill do a video tonight when I finish work at like 12am in middle of town so can't p*ss anyone off lol... But she sounds So much better now With out centre box, I love it :D

Just driven 5 miles to work with the worst clutch ever,.. Where they have done it, it's not been adjusted properly it's a struggle to get her in gear.

I've got no first gear and I'm stuck in second, on the plus note I made a load of people jump when she back fired in a tunnel by a queue of people waiting to see Jesse J in Cardiff motor point arena HAHA :D
