Cheers fella. I've noticed the difference just getting some consistent geometry round the car, will speak to Max and see what he suggests too :)

No, not yet. Don't even know what day it is at the moment, pretty busy at work.

Just for interest...

Mocom Racing will be the first in the UK to have the all new Hunter Laser Alignment gear - to my limited knowledge, this will give dynamic readings for these angles during the suspension movement range and give as accurate a set-up as is humanly possible.

I have to say that the read-outs/printouts are simply awesome 8)

I believe the kit gets installed in the next couple of weeks and I am sure that Zak would be willing to put together a good deal for BP members on this.... I will ask.

As Duncan says we should be the first to receive WinAlign Tuner to complement our new Hunter Alignment set-up which arrived yesterday 8) The software is still a week or so away and at this point having only seen a demonstration of it's capabilities will require some familiarisation before turning it loose on you guys :wink:
The most exciting thing for me is the ability to plot a toe curve to illustrate the change in toe angle throughout the full travel of the front suspension, this should provide some very useful and interesting information. There's also the ability to add tyre temperature measurements which should be very useful used in the right environment...........
