Yeah they're metal :) Tried it witht he clio and it cracked, not good!
Right just finished putting it all back together but theres a slight problem....lowered them both to the same level but the passenger side has got a lot more camber for some reason??? They arent camber adjustable, so i dont...
Thanks :D means alot :)
Decided to try and bend the inner lip of arch up but it didnt work too well as it left a nast sharp edge to the lip which i didnt want to hit the tyre for obvious reasons!
So i 'rolled' them with a hammer lol! Sounds pikey i know but results were perfect!! just beat...
Thats actually amazing that someone as famous as him is on here :D shame i never got to speak to him :(
Right been busy lowering the car again, such a pain in the arse! To lower these coilovers you need to basically take them off again lol! So its not really a 5 min job, which i was hoping...
Really looking to get some bigger brakes now, found some 2 pot rear discs and calipers, just need some fronts. Anything will do, just want it for the looks mainly! :D
I am going lower dont worry! Fronts are staying at the moment untill i can afford to get arches rolled, and rears will be coming down to roughly same height as front....until i can get arches rolled on back aswell lol....i feel like such a bum!
Thanks :D getting there now
Yeah im parking...
Right, finally got them uploaded. Photobucket decided to crash half way through so took a while.
Coileyes havnt been altered at all yet, this is just how they arrived so bear that in mind! Although the bolts on the front allowed for some minor camber adjustment as standard, so we set fronts to...
Righty ho, your so impatient lol. Was raining this morning but stopped at about 1, so made a start at half 1. Couple of hours and plenty of cups of tea later we're all done!
Was so rusty under there i was amazed none of the bolts sheared tbh, but luckily they held up. Fronts went on easy peasy...
you actually knew them??? They are my favourite band of all time!! Got posters and everything!! Been looking for tickets to see them live but cant find any :(
Yeah but they're 18's so quite tall. Nothing an angle grinder to the arch cant fix though ;)
I was pulled by the police, but they didnt say anything about my arch hitting the tyres, the stretch or the poke, only told me to get some proper number plates lol! (admittadly had different wheels on, but still had stretch, poke and sidewall/arch damage :P)
Thought i saw you too but was too late to see properly lol. Saw you at halfords couple days ago aswell.
Had the back wheels scraping today! 4 up was scraping on arches.
In other news.....Coventry are speedway champions and Bring me the Horizon album out today ;) awesome!
And also got my...
I ran stretched tyres, with plenty of poke, plenty of neg camber and plenty of rubbing on the arch for about a year, and before that the lad before me ran the same. No damage or issues ever occured with running this much stretch and arch rubbing untill all 4 tyres were bold....used up...
lol true, but everyones de spoilering them now....havnt got enough money anyway so wont be getting it. Id love a carbon boot lid though :)
Got some D2 coilovers, camber adjustable on the front, but not on the back so got to look into how to add camber to rear
Yeah bought some Turtle wax polish & wheel protector, its like a wax, leave it to dry on then wipe clean. Its supposed to be quite good so fingers crossed it dosnt peel. Not going to use any wheel cleaners or anything.
Some more pics, spent 3 hours polishing and applying protection stuff as im so scared of laquer peel!
Watching a carbon boot and rear wing on ebay aswell ;)
Finally pics up, and dont forget ive got coilovers being fitted next wednesday (im embarresed about the arch gap atm lol!) Feel a bit of a wolly driving around like this atm lol
Also got some new wheel nuts, TPI i think they're called. They're really good cos you need a...
Just uploading pics, 4 cups of tea later and im still freezing lol.....think ive caught a cold fitting them in this weather but its still worth it :)
Also sold the TE37's and blue wheel nuts for £450 so on the look out for a cusco rollcage ;)
