dr_jekyll Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 gentlemen was having a bit of a play with the car today and i quickly snowballed myself into a mass of ass ups so initially i was toying with the idea of a bit of dragstripping so i thaught id try a few launches and runs on our close pice of road. then i encounterd problem 1 no grip ! all i did was snake down the road the remidy wider wheels with taller tyres to get these to fit we ha to roll the rear arches, upon doing so i inevitable buggerd it up and buckled the wings. joy! so now as i have to re shape and repaint the rear arches im thinking should i A. just sort them and leave the car alone b. sort the arches widen the front arches too . c. sort arches . widen front too and remove skirts / spats/ front lip and paint the car bright white . thaughts gents?

downimpact Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Mr tyre man, having the right tyre is probably more important than a bit more width Though if your going all the way then you'll want to do both, not as fun as going round corners though....

dr_jekyll Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 the correct tyre with a good side wall is what maters to me , and my tyre of choice is worth moding the arches for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-_-b Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I could see option a being done then you wanting to do more ^^, Widening front & rear sounds a good plan so option B has my vote. Car would look pretty cool white though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 why widen the front if your dragging? widening the front will give you tramlining just widen the rears where the problem is FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
