eddie Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Hi all, just had some new tyres fitted to my lexus (two) and have noticed some vibration at high speed. Obviously I always went to WIM for the geo. @Rich anyone else Watford way any idea where I can go now? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Would that not be a balancing issue if you just had new tyres fitted? What did you go for? I had some new tyres fitted yesterday at Costco. It felt weird taking the car somewhere else where I couldn't chat while they were working on it or look underneath when it's on the ramp. As for the geo I've not looked at where else we could go. Not needed one for years since they were first done by Tony/Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been a few years since Geo so probably the time to get it sorted as well as alloy wheel restoration.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Wow, that's some bad corrosion. The MX5 ones need doing as well really but I might try doing that myself as they're not too bad. How you finding the tyres, similar to the PZero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Are you keeping the car now? It's certainly worth sorting those bits out of its still worth money. Did you get the geo done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted June 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Not yet Rich - needs doing though - will get round to it asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted November 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 finally managed to get the GEO on the Lexus done! Now drives like a dream! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 Good stuff. Do they have a Hawkeye geo ramp, I've not seen it yet? Could you stay with Joe while I did it? I know they paid a premium on the insurance at WIM to allow that but I'm not sure at the new place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted November 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Not sure which brand the ramp is Rich but it looks state of the art. No problems whatsoever with hanging about in the garage itself - they owners seem pretty chilled and the dog there is as gentle as anything. Lexus is handling really well now!

Rich Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Looks like they've got the Hawkeye. Makes sense as that's the one Tony trained him on. Glad the car is handling much better now. Yeah the dog is really lovely 👍🏼 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
