Not personally, but I know people who have been there and still go back, so they can't be that bad. Although saying that I guess it all depends on what you are looking to take to them. I believe they are all "Max Power" sort of people, they do have a 4x4 rolling road capable of 1000bhp, if you cars not modified, try Supertune on the Bath road, on the right just before the Park and ride, they have a rolling road facility, but they don't do modded vehicles. P.S, Did you get your wheel alignment sorted? If so has it made any difference?

Hiya,

this is for the wheel alignment, also to check the power output and general running of the engine

Hi all (Simon),

well, been to Interpro, and whilst it took them somewhat longer than I had hoped (3 hours) there does seem to be a marked improvement.

They cast doubt upon the skills of the last person who did the tracking, and found that to be somewhat out, also adjusted trye presures which I thought were ok.

They did the full monty geomotry check, checked the bushes etc,etc but it was all put down to the tracking and trye pressure being so far out of whack.

Like I said marked improvement, but I reserve final judgement until I have been driving ot for a good few hundred miles of different surfaces :-)

Visit was made quite interesting by some of the cars they had up there, Marcos, De Tomaso, a 270BHP mark 5 that looked standard! and best of all the 80's ultimate capri, the Tickford (sic?) Aston Martin version.

Cheers,

M

Fingers crossed then! What did they sting you for it? Would you go again? Should I go and have them set up my Lotus, or do you think that because it's old and a little tatty, they are the type to take the piss?

Its a bit late now, but BMW dealers should have the right kit to do the job, if you've got BMW alloys they have a laser thingy which takes readings from the 5 holes on the alloys inbetween the wheel stud holes, when I bent my 3 series a while ago the dealer that put it right did this and it drove spot on
