Bagpuss already booked in. I've not had a geo since I built my car. Great to have someone with @Maurici- CleaR Motorsport skills available to members and even better he's fairly local!

Sombody told me that you have access to sleeping premises near to the Manchester footballers houses... I'm sure we can arrange a session prior a trackday in oulton park.

Hello Everyone

For many of you, I probably don’t need much of an introduction—I’m that guy with the weird accent and a rather flamboyant driving style in the Speed Series!

For those who don’t know me as well, I’m Maurici, an Automotive and Motorsport Engineer originally from Mallorca. I’ve been based in the UK since 2015, working with a major OEM. I had the privilege of being taken under the wing of Adam Read (AdamR on the forum), and over the years, I’ve worked closely with him on car builds, testing, setups, and countless laps on the track.

I’m thrilled to announce that after a period of downtime, Clear Motorsport is back in action! I’ll be running it myself from a humble but professionally equipped garage in Leighton, Cheshire. My goal is to provide a service I truly believe the area has been missing—combining expertise, passion, and a personal touch.

You can check out the official presentation post here:
clearmotorsport.co.uk

The website and post content are still under construction, but you’ll get a good idea of what’s on offer. The contact details are fully up-to-date, so feel free to reach out—I’d love to chat about cars and help you take your vehicle to the next level!

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Cheers,
Maurici

Great news. I will be booking in the rebuild if I ever find time and motivation to get it finished.

Congratulations & good luck with the new business & reckon you’ll be filling you’re appointments from WSCC 

After a front end refurb in Feb 24 & rear end planned for Feb 25, I’ve want to have the Geo set up & will reach out as soon as I’m ready. 🙏👍

Maurici came to visit this morning and competently checked and adjusted my geo. It's not been checked since I built it 8 years, 36,000 miles ago. 

 

one or two rod end bearings and trackrod ends have been replaces over this time, but I've always measured and counted turns etc. So it shouldn't be too far out.

Sadly a seized rod end bearing on the top rear, prevented camber adjustment. He found the locknut loose and suspect the thread in the top wishbone could be damaged. He didn't want to force it and snap the rod end bearing. Which would disable my car.

 

I'll try some of this but will likely need a new top rear wishbone.

Maurici, clearly knows his stuff and explains what he's doing and why etc. 

 

I'll be going to him once my rear camber can be adjusted to have the geo adjusted fully and a flat floor/corner weighting too.

Thanks Ian!! :)

 

Shame about your rebel rear top wishbone, hopefully we'll get that sorted soon.

Thanks for your words. Looking forward to see u around for a full setup when your rod ends are freeee again :)

Yeah, I misunderstood what Ian was saying when he told me; I was (mistakenly) assuming the nut had been easy to undo, but the joint was stuck.

The nut was completely loose... and I'm sure that with the lack of clamping force the rosejoint jumped a tread inside the threaded bush. That with the fact that the car had an slight positive ammount of camber (meaning the upper joint was significantly unscrewed). A lot of torque for just a few fillets of tread.
