Plenty of arch work to happen on the rears & dropping the front on coilies soon
hi bren :)
edit: its fapin btw + is this the same car you were working on like a year ago cause you've made quite a bit of progress
evening
same old blue ****box as before :)
awesome, get some camber goin on the back!
Would love to run some camber to add a little more stance after the arch work but it's not possible with torsion bars! :(
they look like the wheels on my accord!
Thinking of putting some hubcaps on every now and then for a good laugh. Going to refurb them later with black/orange scheme.
what the hell are those meant to be exactly?
wheel - a simple machine consisting of a circular frame with spokes (or a solid disc) that can rotate on a shaft or axle (as in vehicles or other machines)
Nicee, they look huge haha.
Only 15"s but the width makes a mahoosive difference :)
Need to pull the rear arches out a bit so it doesn't look as **** and I can drop it on it's arse a bit more.
uhmmm... interesting.
First time I've seen wheels like that lol
p.s. HI BREN LONG TIME NO SEE
they look awesome dude! gonna look sweet when it's on it's hoop!
look forward to the updates. impractical wheels rock, here's mine.

i freakin love your bora
Hmmm, put a glass screened door on the front, seal up any gaps and make it water tight, add water, dump your clothes in there, and you've got a pretty good washing machine :P Interesting wheels, but surely you fear any bumps in the road?
Surely they slow it down, they must be heavy! Also, when you turn at high angles the wheels might rub and ruin the paintwork. Done it to my dads 1980 Fiesta. Still, it looked good with RS wheels. ;)
has been a long time!Quote:

cheeky shot from brothers fb showing nearly half the wheel out of the arch :( and the horrendous back box.
Porsche 3pc splits, 18x8.5 & 18x9.5, cheers dude :) yours looks pretty wide from the back too, could have a play with the camber for more lows or shorten the tortion bar if you're gonna push it to the extreme :P
also I researched this for getting pulled with my wheels, by law the rim is allowed to exceed up to 30mm from the arch but the tread itself must be under (hence the stretch etc), i'll try and find the copy, handy to have the print out in your car to prove coppers wrong ;)
I reckon the front is near borderline on 30mm from the arch but may be cutting that a little close! also need to get some balls and pull off the arch extensions in order to pull out the metal arch but it's more bodywork hassle :(
it's always fun the minute you start something irreversible, rolling the arches is a right pain with not much margin for error. you can do the fronts quite easily by heating the arch with a blowtorch, then wedge a scaffy bar inbetween the wheel and arch and drive forward slowly. can make a mess if you do it wrong though.
Looking good brendon.
don't look right at the moment, will reserve judgement until the work is completed
they are hella nice omg
