Robert Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 ok, well i thought id take the drivers side rear wheel off to have a look at the handbrake shoe and so i fixed that little problem so then i go to put the wheel back on and for the life of me i couldnt get it on , i tried different positions and tried as hard as i could but no luck, by the way the wheel is either 19x9.5 or 19x10, all that effort got me a nice swollen right hand and then i came out with the bright idea to try and balance the wheel on my feet then push it on and guess what....my ankle is now killing me and as the wheel was on my foot i tried to line the bolts up with the holes with my finger and low and behold the wheel drops a bit and the bolt goes into my index finger!!!! As there is no one about to help ive called out the break down serivce i get free with admiral......i feel STUPID!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 lol but what was the problem? couldn't get it located on the center? sometimes tricky but surely not that hard! If the wheel is really big and heavy, sit on your arse and use both hands plus leaverage from your legs to manhandle it into place, with wheelnuts at the ready! If you can't fit the wheel, should you be a supra owner? saying that, I've had trouble jacking the car for which I need to make a seperate thread!

chilli Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 the light made it wonkey? hmmmm anyway, do they actually do anything or are the purely cosmetic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 its quite a rare diffuser, its a original carbon fibre ab-flug one, not sure what they do but they look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 lol, the lightening for when the photo was taken, you know what i mean. if its a diffuser then tecnically it should diffuse air @ the rear of the car, actully how good it is at that is another matter.

chilli Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 heh yeah I realise what it's meant to do, wonder if it works on a road car, probably does do something at very high speeds, probably more the lower the car is I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bammbamm Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Yeah it dose look wonky in that picture id only just fitted it and couldn’t get a proper fixing point on the exhaust side at the time, witch is why it looks lower. As for the effect it has I didn’t have much to worry about when booting it down the two mile straight at bruntingthorpe were the picture was taken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
