That goes for most alignment gear:crap:
For the money its good, a lot cheaper than bulky Dunlop gauges.

i'd like to see it back to back with a full laser alignment to see how it comes out.. im sure the biggest problem will be the user, and the other one adjustment.. just how will i reach under my low as feck 5, crack off the nut, turn the rod and not knock all the gear over, having to start again.. :crap: on some cars this wouldn't be a problem, but i can't see me using it on a 5 unless i had a pit or could get the car set up off the floor, planks etc..

:laugh:
What are you expecting for 80 odd quid?
If it works and you use it properly think of the saving, plus do a few mates cars with it and it would have paid for itself a couple of times over.......

Nice, but worthless with a software problem or power cut:laugh:

We used to set up the Quaife GT1 car with bits of fishing line, a ruler and some axle stands........it was acurate, easy and good enough for a 180+mph at Thruxton.:eek:
