Spinning Wheel Tyres is a long established automotive business specialising in prestige cars and special fitments. Spinning Wheel have the latest camera technology, wheel alignment equipment and trained operators to provide the most accurate and best driving result possible for your MX-5. In 2010 & 2012 Spinning Wheel managed an alignment day for the Club that was very successful and well received by all those lucky enough to get an alignment slot or be present for the subsequent tech talk. This time around the Club has organised:

Alignment

Whether you are a new owner or long term driver of an MX-5; here is a chance to have Spinning Wheel align your wheels and provide expert advice on options for your car’s suspension and tyres.  The Club has negotiated a very special discounted alignment cost for members only for the tech day (see below for booking details).

Lunch

A bulk buy in of pizza and light refreshments will be organised on the day starting at around 12:30pm for those up for lunch and the tech talk. Lunch will be at the cost of the attendees.

Tech Talk

Everyone in the MX-5 community interested in tyres, suspension and brakes are welcome irrespective of whether you have taken an alignment slot during the morning or are just attending the open forum after lunch. After the doors are closed to the general public at 1:00pm, Spinning Wheel specialists will share with you what they know and take questions from the floor about tuning your suspension from the choice of rubber and brakes to aftermarket accessories to best suit your MX-5 and driving expectations. The tech talk is open to all in the MX-5 community whether they see themselves as a track driver, spirited road user or prefer to cruise with their car properly set up. Spinning Wheel specialists will answer questions and encourage participation from the floor. You will leave knowing more about suspension tuning than you knew when you walked in.

Cost

The cost of an alignment on the day is discounted to $77.00 for members onlyNon members will pay $88.00 which is less than the advertised price for this service. Spinning Wheel will open up one hour early and guarantee 11 slots and more if they become available through the morning.
