Full Geometry Set-up To Wim Settings In Scotland

[colbecoz]

Well, I called CLCM today to see if I could book my baby in for WIM G\eo' set-up. It's a goer for me on wednesday 1st July at 11:00 a.m. Have asked if he can do more than mine on that day and Willie said no problems. He is booking out a whole day just in case any others from Haggis land can go down to on that day??

Will anyone manage?

Know anyone else who could go?

If I don't hear anything by tommorow night (thursday 25th June) I have to call Willie and let him know, so he can free his bookings up again.

Col :winky: :)

[Asi]

[TommyH]

Think i may come along, im off work on the 1st July. 65 miles from me but would be a nice drive home. Does he have the Hunter Machine and has he agreed to WIM'S settings, would he be willing to speak to Tony if required ?

Sorry for all the questions but if im traveling 130miles i just want to make sure.

Thanks, Tommy

Gutted Col,

Bad timing for me, i'm back offshore Monday 29th June so i wont make it, good on you for getting it all sorted out, but just my luck.

[Asi]

[colbecoz]

col. do i have to book myself in?

Can if you want Asi. or I can do it for same day? I'm bein done at 11:00 am. Going start off early on the wednesday morning to get there on time. I got to let Willie know tomorrow if more peeps are coming on the sane day mate.

Col :)

[Asi]

well you going to let him know tommarow anyway so just book me in mate.

[dajcksc]

I'm offshore at the moment, 2 weeks to go, or I'd have been there. Tires are still quite new, and would be good to keep them for a wee while longer. Easy for me i'm just 10 mins round the by-pass. I'll look to go another time, but sounds like he's the place for us. Do you know if the setings are the same from all the IS200's? I've a funny feeling they alter a bit with the year. I'm a '99 IS200 Sport.

[colbecoz]

I'll give him a ring Col. Thanks for the info mate. Look forward to meeting up mate.

Cheers, Tommy

Any update Colin ?

Hi Tommy, I got the same question from Tony at WIM and posted the following on their forum:

-------------------------

Well it went quite well. The settings on the front were way out, particularily on the front nearside. Unfortunately, Willie had problems with the the rear. The adjuster nut thingies (excuse the technical detail), caused a problem preventing full adjustment. Something to do with a lug on the rear offside being in the wrong position, and washers on another two bolt adjuster things. They were corroded, and really need replacing. He spent a while trying to figure out ways of doing the full set-up but could only get an "almost" result. Willie told me that if I get the nut thingy's sorted, he can do the the full thing, and that if I get it done within 4 months, he'll do the whole thing again for a good price. Charged me £48.00 for the work he carried out, which I thought was OK as he was well over an hour trying to get a full result.

He also told me that if I noticed no difference, to bring it back. Well, i do notice a difference. The car isn't so twitchy at higher cruising speed, and, the tram-lining seems to have gone completely.

Although, Willie said I needn't go rushing to get the nut doo-daa's fixed, do you think I should do it mate??

I also have some piccies of the event and a couple of AVI's... where can I put these so you can have a look at them??

---------------------------------------------------------------

As an addition, when I post the piccies, Willie of CLCM says to tell you all that the equipment you see on them won't be there in a couple of weeks. He is getting a new rigout which will cope with up to 22" wheels (As on the new Rolls-Royce). So, he is moving with the times. My feeling is that he is a genuine guy focused on customer service. He seemed to do his best for me, and has said that when (and if) I get my nut/bolt thingies fixed if I have any problems, the mechanic/engineer can call him direct and he'd explain what is needed. I think this is good service? Wot ya all think??

I'll get the AVI's and the piccies on shortly.

Cheers

Col.. :winky: :) :D
