I was looking into tubbing the arches when i repaintg the bay, looks fairly straight forward, i just need to borrow someone that can weld.
Looking at the one above tho it looks like the arches are standard, probably rides higher tho

Are you sure it's not a steering rack that increases the angle? That's the simplest way I can think of andjusting the amount a wheel can turn...?

With the new knuckles, youll be able to change the castor - its this that will let you run rediculous amounts of everything within reason and clear stuff, also its worth remembering that when the car is moving none of the alignment is static, it all flexes

pretty much gary, iv started getting the hang of weight shift initiation (which u can see me fark up at the very start of the vid)
i have cables now just havnt had time to fit them, hoping to get them on tomorrow.
Iv been fucking around with the new ic pipes for ages, had to cut another hole in the bay as the old kit was some random configuration, also a vac hose seems to fowl the fan so iv had to shave the tips of the fan. Also because the new pipes go through where the battery used to sit iv had to go get stuff to relocate the battery.
Got it half done tonight and made sure it started then packed up cus of the rain, tomorrow im hoping to finish it off

Why you selling yours dude?
I dont blame you man, just get stuck in, tbf i was a bit like that when i first got mine but the fun of drifting for me easily outweighed any 'keeping my car mint' attitude, lol
if you get something your not going to be so gutted about drifting into a kerb you will have alot more fun ultimately, touch wood none of us have any kind of fark up but fucks ups DO happen

fair do's
Rolled mine with combinations of newspaper, magazines and a carpet tile trying to preserve the paint, this worked to a degree but i needed more room so i broke out the scaff bar, fucked up the paint on the arch but now i can drift without my 245's getting cut up and making the loudest noise i have ever heard rubbing the arches
