Had Geometry done
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2007 6:02 pm
Was booked in at the Scoobyclinic today to have the Geom setup and an Oil & Filter change to get ready for the Ring trip. I can now see what people mean when they say what a huge difference it makes to the handling of the car.
This is my first Scooby and coming from an RX8 the understeer and subsequent lift-off oversteer of these cars is very evident. On the drive home I put it to the test on the odd roundabout and there was no understeer at all, in fact it felt a little of the oposite and felt like minor oversteer. This could be down to the fact that I swapped the front and rear wheels around last week because the fronts had scubbed the edges off. So now I have tyres with good tread on the front and tyres with only around 2-3 mm and scrubbed edges on the rear. Will probably replace them all before the Ring trip.
Anyway I am one happy bunny
