Newnesie Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 looks really nice! Is the front camber intentional or just due to lowering? If intentional then get the back cambered too and it'll look better Also are your wellers 14's?Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j22drury Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 1000 miles without checking the tyres knew they needed changing at some point but never this much. guess im lucky they didnt blow! just got my student loan in so at £146 for 4 tyres i guess i cant complain. nowhere will track and camber adjust my car! fed up of everyone saying "raise it up an let us track it then you can lower it again" Are you serious? youre spose to be a mechanic! hahahahaha!

Lulu ho's booked in for tracking on monday and ive got some subaru seats to collect! i also stripped the rear out! ive finished uni now too so ill have time on my hands to respray!

j22drury Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) ordered some bigger profile tyres to fill the arches seeing as though 13's look lost with skinny tyres i needed to rool my arches a tad to stop the scrubbing, i got to work with a jack handle... im happy with the result tbh, i think theyve pulled out slightly. my spigot rings came from customspigots.co.uk too... i decided that seeing as though im never gonna have any rear passengers id take my seats out not to save weight, just so i could stop the scrubbing as much! then i filled it full of crapmy new lupo homie i forgot to take pictures of my bargain subaru seats!

j22drury Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 hi! my seats are here! so my rabbit sat on them, but then he nearly ran away now that they have his approval... im quite unsure how to go about fitting them. Anyone shine some light on this? i also had my wheel alignment done yesterday and shes now roccking an even amount of camber and toe. heres the report. 4 degrees of camber before they sorted it! id go take some pictures somewhere because its such a nice day! however i cant ind the cat and i cant find my keys so im assuming hes taken them as per usual!
