Laser Alignment

Postby Speedy » Fri Apr 01, 2016 3:02 pm

Just had my newly imported Mk1 Computerised Laser Alignment done, set to a Fast Road setting that Wayne supplied and swears that it is good.

C & S Haynes at Silverdale, Newcastle under Lyme.

MX5 enthusiasts that run a family very busy service and MOT garage have installed a very nice laser alignment ramp and now have the fast road set up saved for a Mk1 and Mk2, pretty sure they have a Mk3 setting also.

On the ramp, ready for the settings being applied

It`s money well spent on these cars. Had mine done last year at WIM. Wasn`t too far out to begin with but you still notice the difference & it gives confidence knowing it`s all set up right :auto-layrubber:

How much does an alignment there cost Ian, if you don't mind me asking. Decided to put the Meisters on the S Special soon and will need an alignment.
