Lightbulb Geometry/Alignment In Glasgow

Guys,

I recently bought a beautiful 07 Moon rock with 36K miles, that I will introduce as soon as I can get proper images.

the thing is that it has not been aligned, balanced or nothing in a loooooong time, and above 100 mph it feels weird. Tires are old as well (2011).
I did a search here, but the only threat I could find was 10-12 yrs old and suggested to go to John's at Pro Grip, which is pretty far away from Glasgow.
Any 2019 recommendation? I would like to have the bushing and bearings checked as well.Thanks!!!

Enjoy your fine/points/ban/prison time driving around at over 100mph...

I’ve used Pro-Grip for about 16 years now and can recommend him, as for you guys in the west I can’t help, maybe a wee look on a different Honda owners forum might find more west based owners although I know a few that made the effort to visit John, happy hunting.

Edit..... try auto-tec or auto-tek, that name rings a bell Glasgow direction.

If you're new to the car, on shit tires, and the alignment is off, best not do over a ton in an S2000

thank you @Mortlach ! I’ll call Andy as soon as I get the tires balanced.

I live in around Charing Cross. What about yourself?

And you’re right, until I don’t get the alignment, Tires and everything correct, I should respect the car.

I’m new to S2000, but coming from a slight tuned RX-7.

Cheers!

I almost had the right name, I’ll blame it on my age.
