Just had S down to Chris at CG this last week.

June 2004 car. 3600 miles. Never seen rain ('Minter' - Chris's words).

Bolts:

Front: clean as a whistle -



Rear: quite a lot of oxidixation (likely from cleaning water according to Chris)



All stripped, copper-slipped and re-assembled back to factory settings

Geo verdict??

The WORST Chris has EVER seen after doing WELL over a 100 S2000s Mmmmmmm: explains the twitchiness then

SO: do the geo.

Result??

Speaking as a sceptical tight-arsed Yorkshireman who had previously suspected he might well be just jumping on the CG band-wagon and throwing his hard-earned away.... I'm genuinely ABLOUTELY F****** ASTOUNDED by how much better the car drives. Beautiful heavily greased feel to handling . Can accelerate HARD and brake HARD with no hands on wheel and car stays straight as an arrow. Through bends the car is UTTERLY transfomed - so much more controlable. I kid you not but the car actually even seems a bit quicker in a striaght line too. I now realise just what I've been misiing with my past S2000s and other sportscars too. Every car I have from now on (whether secondhand OR new) WILL get this set-up treatment.

Chris? FULL FULL FULL of information and OODLES of enthusiasm. His wife and partner Jayne is an absolute diamond.

A thoroughly enjoyable 10 hours with Chris and Jayne and well worth the 190 miles drive each way (MUCH MUCH more enjoyable coming back ) and

 

Chris certainly knows what he is doing when he sets these cars up.

 

Great news.

As an aside I saw a bird squeezed in a car who was a spitter for your avatar on Wednesday, I think she knew I was laughing at her!

 

I agree... cash well spent.

I'm sure I passed you on the S'bro to Whitby road last Sunday at about 5.30pm. - I was in another car, not the S.

Try the Ruswarp road, especially the tight bends.

Another good stretch I found was from Seamer to East Ayton - very fast with long sweeping bends...

 

I keep reading all these CG reviews and wonder how much it would change the feel of my car.Would it be utterly pointless on a brand new S?My car hasn't even done a thousand miles yet,but i sometimes feel it's not as sure footed as previous S2000's i've owned.But then i wonder if it's because i'm now running on a new wheel size?

 

I need to do this

 

What a waste.

Though perhaps the geo and terrible handling was why it was never used.

 

Absolutely not. Mine had done a touch under 5k when I got it done. Results were fantastic. Well worth doing.

I agree on both counts - I only got the car 2 weeks ago and it only had 2800 miles up. In 3 years and 2 months
