Tony Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 We are equipped Geometry ramps installed Camera tower Base unit and target reflectors It has 25000 cars in the data bank with live data acquisition on line if needed. And guess what it has the Mazda MK3 data The balencer and Nitrogen tower The printer for the balancer.... This shows all the values for the customer and tells us where to put the wheel on the car The BOSS in it's final home next to the stairs The screw air compressor (silent running) The family in there work positions And the two, two posters All i need now is the shutter doors installed and the glass for the reception..... Then next weeks it's "tidy up time" and getting familiar with the Hawkeye software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then next weeks it's "tidy up time" and getting familiar with the Hawkeye software Have you managed to get a firm date for the shutter door installation? No but my investor is aggressively on the case because their delay is costing us money.... As you can see in the images the metal frame work is in place so there are no delays our end.

It was here in wim..... Since we are installers for GAS i made sure the ramps are low level, wide body lifts. Problems i noticed in other places where... 1: Once the car is in place you cannot get out because the pillars were in the way. 2: Positioning the car was critical so that the arms can reach the correct lift points. 3: The lift pads are two high making it difficult to place them correctly on a low car. All of those issues have been addressed with our lifts ...... It's just a shame i cannot get any cars on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Tony..what happened to the Hunter GSP9700 road force balancer? It's nearest competitor is 4K cheaper and i couldn't convince by finance peeps to go for the road force.... Nevertheless this balancer uses laser rather than resistance. The saving allowed purchase of the entire Huwequa? stud balance system. This combination is superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAHZ Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 i have 80 cars on my "to call list" so a 30 day week is more in order Obviously wim members have priority but it's going to be one busy centre immediately. I hope im on that list ....i need my fine tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 An impressive looking piece of kit there Tony ! Thanks.... One thing that's been my nemesis for years is the camera mounting system. In my past the cameras hang from the tyre, so a lowered vehicle is an issue. No such problems with the Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
