Wymondham, just off the A11 about 10 miles south of Norwich.
In researching where to take my ZT for a 4 wheel alignment i came across a set up remarkably close to me (much to my surprise!) that has hosted the odd car meet on there premises in the past.
It is actually STS Tyre Pros, Wymondham branch
They have the latest Hunter system which in the right hands is just about the best on the market. What makes the difference in this instance is the fact that the guys that run it are petrol heads. The system has the factory settings for both the 75 and the ZT and i believe the tourer.
They are fully aware of the scope for adjustment of our rear suspension which as we know is the key to the 4 wheel alignment.
Mine is now done, and as well as improving the handling it has transformed the ride which has surprised me. (mines a ZT 190!)
Whilst i can attempt with them to get a meet underway, they have hosted the MX5 club (there cars are very adjustable and tunable)
MX5 forum suggests that in Feb 2012 they opened on a sunday exclusively for the club, circa halved the cost of a alignment on the day and set up approx 15 cars on the day.They also offered to fit customer parts on the day at very modest cost, mainly discs and pads.
Whilst i am happy to arrange a gathering this one will take a degree of negotiation with the owners. They have a team of around 5 guys on a normal working day.
Plenty of parking, a pub just across the road and the historic market town of Wymondham 5 mins walk away.
Anyone interested show your interest here 1st and we will see what if anything develops.
If anyone wants there car done sooner, then you can contact them direct (Kieren is the contact there) mention us and the club and you might be pleasantly surprised with the likely cost. Especially on a weekday when they are likely less busy.
As the MX5 guys took full advantage of after, there are some exellent roads to test your new set up (Hethel is just down the road and the local twisty A roads have seen many a Lotus suspension engineer seeking real road conditions...
The end result is likely to improve the ride, handling, and almost certainly preserve the tyre life going forward.
I was very impressed with the care afforded my car, a different class to your normal tyre centre....
