from what i have ready bally, yes the VR has a wider track. i got the entire lip rolled and flattened, i kno im not as low as you are but its stopped it catching :D, the rear now only catches over the worst bumps :D love it now!
-
meguairs PlastX is excellent stuff, used it on a perspex sub box front and was very shocked how well it worked :D
-
that looks so much better, and yes your suspension will settle in a bit and go a tad lower. not loads but a smidge prolly :)
-
looks really nice that mate, what wheels are they and how far did you lower it? tbh i dont think it matters what the sticker says its something you dont ever see lol :D
-
very very nice mate, how long has it taken you and who did the spraying for you. looks a mint job :D
-
going back to wide wheels on thursday to have more rear archwork done and a bit done on the front :) woop woop will let you know what comes from it!
-
bet it was mint while it lasted! lol. you rebuilding the rest of the engine then or just the bottom end? you gonna upgrade anything or just put standard but new back in?
-

-

finally got the arches rolled and the wheels on properly. going back on thursday to have em rolled a bit more and the front ones tucked in cause they catch aswell. would really recommend kris to people, got some of his business cards. great bloke and is willing to help in any way, the place itself is in the arse end of nowhere so its a right pain to find lol. joy to the sat-nav! and the roads around there are shockingly bad! lol still decent price excellent job and good laugh! its nice to see that he doesnt do it for the money but because he likes the cars aswell! :) anyways pics from when i had it done! then today i gave the car a wash over and a quick wax over with the dodo juice and went and took a couple of pics! if anyone thinks there is nay i should put in for calendar please say cause i dont like picking lol
-
i want the rears to be harder to stop the wheels bouncing about lol! .. so i guess they aint broken and i cant send em back and get konigsports lol

young you old git im 22 still lol :D i had 35.5 outof mine when i first got it, havent seen it since like lol. she looks a beaut mate! keep up the good work - always handy if you mechanically minded :) -
i could have a carputer but my monitor is a kenwood like yours and means i would have to have a second screen which i cba with really lol. looks really good tho mate! what pc you got running, did you get one of those little 12v power pack things from ebay with the safety features all built in :D mate of mine has pc in his car and its handy, make sure you get a wireless connector for it so you can hook it up to the network at home and send more music and pics across
-
As the title says, how soft should they be. i know they aint gonna be rock hard but i can press em down probably about 20-25mm with my hands on the boot where as the front i can only maybe press down about 2-3mm should they be like this or are they jamf. given they are only about 3 months old aswell, if they are buggared i think ill send em back and get the konigsports for the adjustable dampening :)
-
mine does this aswell. i think its just the top mounts and suspension creaking under strain
-
looks mints that, i was at bug jam in 2007, it properly slung it down lol. was in my bravo so you wouldnt of seen a car i was in i dont think lol
-
ahh right makes sense. kinda shows they must be some of the best at it in the business, shame you didnt come up, they got a mint grass track micra with 2.0 red top in it. its a 3 speed and is obviously on carbs. wish i could og see it on the tracks bet its mint to watch!
-
