Hi guys, hope you’re all well.

So I’ve got loads of stuff done in the omega ready for the summer shows.

Following suspension parts being fitted it’s definitely knocked the tracking out. Went on WIM site and it appears they’re no longer going. Anybody know if they’ve moved elsewhere or that them just finito?

The chap who owned it died a while back.

I thought WIM set up a network through out the UK

These I thought were linked to them but not 100% sure how far they branch

Take the WIM settings to any place that has a Hunter alignment machine and insist they use those settings.  ;)

Hi guys, I'm looking for the correct settings too and I found this topic December 2013

It sais

Quote from: Entwood on 11 December 2013, 22:38:17
just found my last printout.. Target values are ...

Rear camber  -2º 05' +/- 0º 40' Cross 0º 00' +/-0º 04
Rear toe   0º 00' +/- 0º 45' Total 0º 20'  +/- 0º 10'

Front camber -1º 10'  +/- 0º 45' Cross 0º 00' +/- 1º 00'
Front caster  5º 40' +/- 1º 00 cross 0º 00' +/- 1º 00''
Track Diff angle -2º 00'  +/- 0º 45'
Front Toe 0º 05' +/- 0º 05' total 0º 10' +/- 0º 10'

Because I bought the car with alignment made 3 months before based on GM values I guess, here are the front tyres after 16000kms :D


I will replace wishbones, drop links and rear track rods - fOr SuRe as our baguette président sais - then have to find a decent automotive geometry center.
But, are these values okay? Front camber -1º 10' seems a lot ???

Just found post from 2022 about his death. That couldn’t have been much longer after I saw him last with the omega! Shocked.

RIP. Great bloke. And Wgat he did not know about geometry wasn’t worth knowing. I remember reading though his technical papers on his website. Unfortunately no longer accessible via WIM website.
