Wow.. you took it so literally! To put my comment into context, I expect he feels the same way as I do when I read threads about slammed euro boxes et al. Irky, and shifting in my seat would summarise it quite nicely. 'Uncomfortable' for brevity. I have no idea why we are discussing the...

...I know? I never said it was a problem, just that it made me smile to think how this kinda stuff makes him uncomfortable. Why are you speaking for him?

I know the wheels don't come in silver, but I don't think that is what he was getting at given his previous comments in this thread, and also comments in other threads about wheels being silver :p You are right though, wheels can look fantastic in silver - I've been very tempted by a set of...

You didn't fancy trying out one of the new GTX2867Rs? I am itching to get one of those bolted onto my SR :D

Defo looks better without the badge, looked like an after thought stuck on beforehand. I don't understand why people like yourselves always assume that this is the only reason people would want to debadge a car. How about this -- I have left the Nissan badge on my car but removed the 200SX...

Indeed. You noticed I didn't photograph the rear then? :D

They do look pretty angry don't they :p

Couple pictures I took of it up in the Lakes yesterday: and one with a (random) friend:

Huh??? Vredestein have been around since.. forever :p

Word of mouth is pretty good in these cases, and with the Internet it becomes quite easy. Just Google for recommendations from owners clubs / car forums. Personally I can recommend 2 places - Nigel Lang in Bolton (Peter is the alignment guy) - DCMS in Burnley (Graham does alignment and...

This. I have had spot on alignment done at a garage with some ancient looking machine, and been less than impressed with work from garages with more up to date stuff. If the operator knows what he is doing, then all should be good.

You clearly aren't trying hard enough :p

For the ball joints I think it is (although they look identical to mine) the TREs however are the exact part.

There is a picture of the TREs in the link I put in the OP. I will post the alignment up tonight..

The alignment was re-done after the fitting yea, but not to the settings I asked. However it doesn't look wholly ridiculous to me.. regardless I will post up the print out tonight.

Hi Had a set of the Hardrace roll centre correction ball joints fitted today along with the forged track rod ends. Got the car back and now the steering is really tight, it does't self centre and feels noticeably heavier when going round corners. Also when standing the engine note raises more...

Indeed. The Hunter machine is good but if the person using it is clueless then you won't get a decent geo. I know a guy who has some ancient alignment rig but he consistently returns my car feeling better than any other garage, including Hunter equipped ones. Go figure.

Believe this I do not :p

How the hell can you tell this off a bunch of crappy photos (no offense intended OP :p) taken with light reflecting off the paint at all different angles? Looks fine to me but even if it didn't I wouldn't be saying things like that without seeing it in the flesh.. OCUK makes me laugh sometimes.

Have the calipers been refurbished at any point? I found the calipers in my 14a were pretty stuck when I took them off to fit my K-Sports, so may be worth a check on yours.
