HELP! Shimmy'ing mx-5.

(check MX5 Club of WA for more info)

Majority of the club members use tried and tested suspension and tyre specialists such as the ones I mentioned earlier in this thread. We almost never go to BJ or Ian D as they just treat the MX5 like any other car. I personally had a brand new set of Enkei RPF1s dented by some tool who had to remove the tyre he had put on wrongly :evil:

Some of our club members have been using Wheelsworld and Bridgestone Bentley for more than 15yrs :!: Plus Bridgestone Bentley are your sole local motorsport agent so you can get your RE55s there 8)

Anyway hope to see you on this Sunday's run!


Hey,

Unfortunately not as i'm not a member yet and I work Sundays. It's very good money, so it's hard to pass up.
A friend put me in contact with Ian Lewis, you may know him :wink:. Anyway he's offered to give me some advice on where to go/what to do from here on with the mx5, so I ought to be in good hands!

Will be contacting wheelsworld when I have 4 rims and tyres on worth balancing/aligning again hehe :lol:

I realise now what a mistake it was going to Bob Jane Balcatta in the first place, but i'm actually quite shocked at how poorly they're dealing with it. RAC documented the tyres bob jane put on are out of round, Bob Jane Balcatta says "prove it" and won't do anything about it. Then the franchisee starts up- "you wanna take this to court? you wanna take this to the accc?" and starts rambling about his QC...... all this over what, $250?....... :shock:
