I use Wheels World. I figure someone that aligns ferrari's and race cars on a regular basis is good enough for my GTR :laugh: also has a wealth of knowledge and will happily set the car up to suit your particular driving style.

You mean a curb?

I think they were about $35-$45 last time I had one done.

Someone told me once that wheel alignments are really cheap in the Eastern States, like $7 or something stupid.

Actually, I think he means a kerb.

If you are going somewhere other than a specialist like Wilkinson's it pays to know what alignment specs you want in the car. Chances are the nearest Bob Janes will have absolutely NFI.

The other thing is to ask when the shops alignment machine was last calibrated. Sometimes this never gets done, so your $60 will be mostly wasted.

by any chance does wilkinsons or WA suspensions sell tyres aswell as do wheel alingments/suspension work? I really need a new set and not sure where i wanna buy them from, cause i wanna get a wheel alingment done after the new tyres are on...

so i assume if wilkison is a sponser you can trust them with your car?

i sereiously need to get my alignment sorted. i might give them a call

steve

as i mention above... i went to wilkison and they did an awsome job, i forgot to mention on sauwa member so ni discount ahah :laugh:

i went in told them what i use the car off and they setup the alignment from that

and what can i say it was a great job took it to the track that night and it work perfect :O

what did wilkison charge and did they do it while you wait?

i went in there about lunch on a friday afternoon asking for

wheel alignment (drift setup)

install tie rods (which i supplyed)

and supply and install pine-apples

they were very busy... but because i needed the car that night (for the drift practise) they fit everything in and i had the car ready at like 4pm...

all up cost me close to $200 without sauwa discount

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
