Guard Flaring

[Jap_star]

With the guard lip rolled flat, and with the car lowered accordingly I think youll be very close without even needing a flare. You'll be on about -3 camber, but you'll need it

Post pics once your done

Well, i got it done. Borrowed a roller from my mate and used it successfully to do the right hand side, but then the fkn thing kept breaking on me. Just keep breaking and stripping the thread on the bolts that came with it, so wend and bought some decent ones instead of the cheap chinese shitty ones that came with it. As it was my first time doing it, it didnt come out amazing but im happy enough, then the heat gun broke and i decided to try and do the left hand side anyway. Bad idea, the paint cracked straight away and looks pretty crappy, but the flare was much better.

All in all im prety happy with how its sits just a bit shitty that i cracked the paint, but it was my first time so meh. Will get some better pics up tomorrow!

And here is all the cracked paint

have you driven it yet? Whats the scrubbing like if any? Looks pretty sweet though

[scandyflick]

Good effort. Make sure you give the inner guard skin way up in the wheel arch some hammer lovin' too.

Cheers guys, came out allright for my first time i reckon

Nah not yet mate, it does scrub a little though, the guard roller couldnt do some parts of the wheel arch so i have to give it the once over with the hammer haha

Good effort. Make sure you give the inner guard skin way up in the wheel arch some hammer lovin' too.

Like right up the very top, or about 5cm up the guard there is a slight bump in the guard skin that come out, can i hammer that flat as well or will it f**k the outside of the guard?

you could probably dial a bit of rear camber out if you wanted by the look of that 2nd pic

[iruvyouskyrine]

Yeah thats what i would like to do, but i have to get some camber arms first, unless there is a way to adjust the stock arms?

[DSTROY]

Do you actually plan on driving it around like that?

[R33 Sleeper]

I'd raise it just a tad and chuck in some neg camber, there is slight adjustment standard, I think it's 3 degrees or something? Other then that looks pretty neat, just stay clear from the popo

Have to drive it like that at least once

Okay, do you adjust it on the camber arm itself or is it somewhere on the hub? Will have a look tomorrow.

SA is a brutal state when it comes to having cars looking cool like that mate. Looks awesome, goodluck with keeping it defect free if driven like that

[SLED]

Very true Krish and unfortunately, the very 1st cop that sees it will throw the book at it.

One thing that you should be aware of Josh, displaying your plates on here can get you a letter in the post asking demanding you present your car for full inspection

[Carbon 34]

Thanks pete i was flamed for attempting to provide guidance but im old and crusty lol

Sapol will love it ,

stance and adelaide roads are a mismatch of potholes and tearing you car apart

Good luck driving it in any form or passengers in it

Tax money hard at work ya right Fix the potholes

[iruvyouskyrine]

Ahh okay thanks pete, will keep that in mind in future posts.

I have driven it around at this height for the last 10 months, and the police have given zero f**ks about it, i have never been pulled over in those 10 months. That said, i do understand the second they do pull me over, i'm pretty well screwed haha. I don't live in Adelaide, so those roads aren't of any concern to me

[DSTROY]

Its not the look thats the problem, its how bad a car that low would handle. My car is no where near that low and mine bottoms out on large bumps at speed in the hills.

[jenkies]

stanced! looks good! but yeh adelaide roads are rubbish. be careful . what front camber arms are you running mate??

[scandyflick]

I can't believe you just said 'stanced'.

Jesus.

Drive it around a little bit, then look under the arches. If you see a clean spot, hit it. Use some caution, don't go demolishing shit with a 20lb hammer, and it'll be fine.
