Hey guys,

Looking for a reputable work shop I can take my car to get some work done for a all round wheel alignment and suspension work.

Searched through to see that traction tyre center in rowville is pretty popular on the forum. Previously had work done at centreline suspension, have no complaints at all but there a bit far, trying to stay in the south/east this time.

Recommendations?

Cheers

Used Pedder's Ringwood a couple times for wheel alignments and been happy with them. Initial alignment after fitting my coilovers (that was done elsewhere) and then again to tweak after a track day. Pretty sure one of the guys is a regular at WRX track days.

Yeah I just had an alignment done there as well, asked them to take a quick look at the suspension components and let me know what should be replaced and they didn't come back with an excessive list to make them more, which was nice :P

The bloke you want to speak to at Pedders Ringwood is Ray

Shane's always looked after me and plenty of other SAU'ers at Traction Tyres - got a killer alignment setup now too.

They're pretty heavy into their motorsport, so they know what they're talking about...

+ 1 for Traction Tyres in Rowville.

Great knowledge, advice and customer service, kept me updated/informed on each step,

discussed pros/cons of my setup, tyre wear, how i drive etc.. very impressed.

Going back there soon to tweak setup, as I'm about to fit some new adjustable bits:)

I'm glad I came across this thread, previous tyre/alignment workshop/brand I trusted for many years since I've been driving 

proved to be half arsed in the alignment side of things.  I wont be buying tyres of them in future also...lost my business..

I should have paid more attention on previous visits when the guy looked liked he was CBF.  

When I asked him on the last visit, how were the tie rods, he replied 'I didn't check them, I'm just doing the alignment'...

WTF, They are part of the alignment!!

My tie rods were that loose, you could hold the base, and get the vertical bolt that joins the wheel/strut and stir it around like a witch

with a cauldron for FFS. 

 

Anyway..... have new tie rods and aligner/tyre place to go now who I trust.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
