We can set camber, caster, toe, bump steer, ride heights and corner weights.
Race Preparation
We can prepare your car and get it it ready for your next event. This includes all safety checks, adjustment of suspension settings, replacement of worn components, etc. Everything you need to get your car ready for its next race or test.
Racing/Testing Support
We can run your car for you at your chosen race meeting. We will take care of looking after the car during the day from getting it through scrutineering to the load up at the end of the day. This includes pit lane and assembly area support and all timekeeping and pit signalling.
We can also analyse the data from your logger if you have one and advise you how you can go quicker.

Parts
We are able to supply parts for Formula Ford cars.
- Brake Pad Retaining Clips – A simple, reusable R-clip that replaces the standard split pins on MLB19 calipers. Will also fit non vented Mini calipers.
- Long Life Clutch Seals – A new solution to the troublesome O-ring type seals used on many FF1600 and Zetec cars clutch slave cylinders. We are currently able to supply seals for most Van Diemens and some models of Swift and Reynard. These seals have less friction than a standard O-ring and also resist the usual ‘rolling’ of the ring which leads to rapid failure of most standard types.
- Our range of parts is growing all the time, so please contact us with your requirements check our Facebook page for updates.
