HiddenWomble Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Newbie alert!! Quality geo?? i believe geo = wheel alignment. when i first read that in context it made me think of geometry. someone please correct me if i'm wrong! Bingo It's like fancy wheel alignment, except instead of just getting the wheels in the green zones as per OEM, you get a car that's tailored to the way you want it to drive. You can turn a car from an understeering mess to a perfect neutral balance to an oversterring hooligan, just by fiddling with the stock camber and toe adjustments. That's how you really extract the maximum from the car, rather than worrying about the nth degree of 1-2 bhp. ooooh, so there is more to it then just a regular alignment. still tons for me to learn interesting too as i generally prefer oversteer to understeer. something about the front wheels sliding towards the edge makes me nervous but the arse end trying to overtake the front end doesn't phase me. i'm at least a year away from new, wider wheels which i understand can be used to re-balance over vs under steer (ie reducing the difference between front and rear), so being able to tune that with a geo might be quite handy. i'm due an alignment next pay cheque but i'm thinking there is little point upgrading that to a geo all the time i have crappy rubber on. more something for when i've got used to a neutral setup when the MPSSs are on.

ZeppoJeff Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 It's awesome!!! Quiet when you need it around town and cruising speeds but opens right up when you decide to put the foot down. Puts a smile on my face every time and also the build quality of them is something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeppoJeff Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I believe you can get the invidia from torqen for £845 and I was £150 for install but that's as I got testpipes also and the cats are a pain to come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiddenWomble Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Dat exhaust... I think I might need to dig out the mini skirt and hit the streets again.

I feel like no matter what I go for; I'll be missing out! Yeah I had been following it a bit. Personally it's not for me...if rather be having the rocket bunny kit over that but even though surely that's going to be well over £1000. Not to mention you will need new wheels as well to fit under the arches and all that is going to come back at well over £1000. Everyone is different though. I mean I went for engine performance upgrades first before touching the bodywork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
