Jamesy Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 £90 for a full geo is cheeeep mate. Where did u go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 £90 are you sure thats for a full geo, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I presume its the laser tracking? £90 is a very good price. They normally charge extra if adjustments need to be made and provide printouts of before Geo and after Geo setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 £90 is good, I got charged £118 and never got any printouts and found out 3 days later that my track rod was left loose so it had to go in again:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 about £100 is what wheels in motion charge i think. Those bolts that they are on about are an absolute c*nt btw! Its probably the rear lower arms ones that are seized. I've enjoyed many an hour grinding those things out on peoples cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzle Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 yeah it is full geo, they did the print out before but obviously couldnt get the after... they put mini satellite looking dishes on it.. it is the rear lowers that are seized, where can i get replacements?

Guigsy Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Where did you go mate?

miko_supra Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 new bolts from toyota. Although the bolts will be siezed in the bush so you will need either new arms or some poly bushes. Polys are usually about 25 a pair. Best bet is super pro or powerflex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzle Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 looking to get this sorted this week guys, could someone confirm what i need to ask for when ordering. or better still links! I had a look but there are various bushes/bolts available and didnt want to get the wrong ones as i have no clue what the tech name for parts are! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n boost Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 £90 is quite steep TBH as most places in brum will do it for approx £40-60. I just had my e46 m3 done last week on a snap on machine with before and after printouts and needed adjustments on all four corners. I paid a total of £40 although normally they charge approx £50-60 but i get a slight dscount for being a regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 You more than likely need the eccentric adjusters, ive arrowed in red the adjusters with the nuts and washers required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Front http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/6692/frontsuspensionepc.jpg Rear http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/6779/rearsuspensionepc.jpg Workshop manual http://www.turbosupras.com/pdfs/JZA80%20TSRM/SA.pdf very useful manual saved that 1 for future reference or i can get hold of an actual workshop manual. What gets me though is on page SA 100 and 102 it shows the bushes as being seperate. Makes me wonder why dont sell them seperate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB B Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I think a lot of us are getting mixed up between tracking and a full Geo, I paid £60 for what I thought was a full Geo but the more I read/hear on here it would seem to be just a good tracking check and adjust. Others on here who have had a full Geo seem to pay a lot more, (£150 - 250) and it sounds a lot more involved. Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a full geo you get camber, castor and toe done on both front and rear of the car and if its done at Center Gravity it takes half the day and costs around £300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjgreen3 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I had mine done in wakefield (I forget the name of the company) FULL geo as Dnk mentioned about 2 years ago I forget the company. They only charged 30 quid although I couldn't get my rears done as the OP said the rear drop arm adjusters were siezed, so they did a partial GEO as the rears needed to be done before the fronts could be aligned. Spent a half hour trying to unsieze the adjusters with a scaffold tube on a long wrench, no good. However still only charged me 30 quid even though I was there for over an hour.

dude Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 It would cost more than £30 just to set the car up and take a reading!!!! Half a day and £300 is still cheap!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n boost Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Wouldn't imagine for £40 it would be 4 wheel laser alignment. Well TBH i dont know what to call it, but i had my front and rear camber, castor and toe adjusted. Their is another place in stoubridge that charge £40-60 as well and also use a hunter machine which show if you chasiss is out. Granted may not be a full comprehensive geo but for a road car its perfectly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Had my geo setup done couple of weeks back. cost me 150 squid and you get a nice little diagramatic print out showing that all your vitals are in the green. currently have it framed ontop of the fireplace... Car does feel allot more planted. however dude doing the work leaves it right till the end to tell me ill need to get one of my rubber gaitors changed as its damaged, which will mean redoing the front wheel setup! ... incre-e-bleh!!
