M4RK RZ Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 is it too low for fingerlifts mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 u need to go somewhere where they have a lifting ramp built in the ground to lift your car up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 i think the point hes making that he cant get it inbetween the 2 posts for the finger lifts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I watched Ian squeezing it in between the posts. Think 18 year old virgin, and Ron jeremy and you'l get the idea how tight it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 What's the overall width Si? I can ask in Poole to see if it'll fit there if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Boy Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 A pit would do OK too. I'll pop down this afternoon for you Si. Are pits still legal in garages? I thought they were'nt for some reason, noxious gases settling at the bottom and getting mechanics higher then Pete Docherty, i guess an extractor could sort that out.

ivan Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Si, I've just been down and talked to the guys at ProTyre in Poole. They reckon they should just about be able to get it on their alignment ramps with about 1mm to spare each side on the adjustment plates. Bit of a trek, but if all else fails it's an option to explore. They said to bring the settings you need with you. ProTyre are here: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=400390&y=93743&z=1&sv=400390,93743&st=4&ar=Y&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 seriously, try super tyres in Maldon (01621 840100) I'd be amazed if they can't do it (I've been told, but don't know whether to believe that alot of the Ferrari garages use them!)

Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 how much did it cost for the alignment? not that it matters too much as seems to be only place that can do it, could you feel an improvement, did they put in their own settings? Just got 2x 255/30/20's for £213 for the pair....over the moon, continentals too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 really, i got 2x toyo 295 35 18 for 150 delivered. lmao yep, i told them they couldnt go by the stock settings, which they understood. yes the steering wheel went so light, which showed how far out it was. £50 plus vat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
