If you want settings just search on the site, in fact just ring up Vauxhall and ask them as the factory settings would give you the type of reaction that everyone gets after having theirs setup anywhere ffs


I have done a search. I got the impression that most people whom had got their geo checked had moved away from the factory settings and that the companies which were setting the cars up didn't reveal the values they were using.

Foxy, thanks will do.

I'm sure Steve told me what they were setting the car to when they did it but I instantly forgot, I think he used the flashy thing out of MIB :blink:

Complete pain in the arse to have to spend £140 each time you want the geo setting, just because you used too much kerb on a trackday thumbsdown Exige/340R settings are widely praised and are available to all.. alternatively just borrow someones car that feels "right" and take it to your local 4wheel laser alignment monkeys and get them to take the settings so you've got them forever more thumbsup

Ding, that's what I'll be doing with your old car and mine eventually. Never have 2 'identical' cars driven so differently.

And then you would still remember :D

Trouble is you would have to remember where you put that piece of paper :unsure:

What about AMD? They do alignment, would they have setup Thorney's Nitrons? which setting where used there? Does that mean AMD know the special recipe? :rolleyes:

EDIT: Hmmm now I come to think of it I think AMD only do a geo check on VW's and Audi's.
