Spacer'd the bullet

[len_beach]

Had these 5mm spacers lying around for a few weeks so decided to whack them on today as well as cleaning the arches, cleaning the wheels, painting the calipers and fitting a new off side drive shaft.

Sick.

 

[lee_cup]

good job!

 

[dannyboy172]

Nice.

likin' the 1.2 badges

Looks good mate, those springs haven't done much settling yet though hey.

 

[len_beach]

Cheers guys.

The springs are better than they were but not where i'd like them. I even weighted the back with the heaviest things I could find, a couple of FF 172 wheels.

nice, does it make a difference? Wouldn't try it on mine mind, as its slammed, and i reckon the fronts could 'grab' the arches on lock

 

[len_beach]

Not really driven it to be honest Gaz. I went for a quick spin and it did seem a little more sure footed and direct.

It is more for looks though than anything. I need to make up for the lack of lowness.

[len_beach]

Why thank you Jamie.

Looks good mate, i always thought they looked a bit odd sat inside as standard. How much were the spacers? I wonder if it'll make a difference on ours... if we ever get those strut tops off.

15's though? I've heard of this happening on cups with a serious drop on 16's with 205's thats all?

 

[JR]

Lol . Really do love this motor though, will have a closer butchers at the fcs.

 

[Peperami]

Yeah 15's mate. Hmm, not sure on how it would work on a 182.

Going back to 195 track tyres and taking the spacers out before the weekend though, tbh it handles better without.
