once you get some camber on there it will help!

with full slicks and such a stiff setup with a cage you should be running at least -3.5 degrees camber up front

Yeah, It certainly will :nice:. Will be going for a modest -3 deg to start with and will change after a few days at Kh.

I've ditched the full slicks for now as they weren't really wide enough. Instead got a set of 225/45/15 Kumho V70A's.

Neil - Thanks man! I really can't wait to start tinkering to be honest lol. :nice:. With a nurburgring trip hopefully aswell. :)
 
Well, rolling didn't work at all... Far to much tyre/wheel sticking out!




So basically another approach was used - cut into the wing, insert metal and weld up. Pretty extreme, but will look the part when filled/sprayed.







 
Wow mate! I cant wait to see this! Any idea when ul have it out?
 
Loving the arch work, gonna look mega mean, :nice: im probably going to do something similar as i will be running wide tires and j's wide fenders for a prefacelift are almost impossible toi find,

The Js racing fenders only give 10/15mm extension over oem wings. My wheels were poking out 1 and a half inches haha! Wasnt a fan of bolt of overfenders, so went with this radical idea... Kinda liking it so far!

Here we go! :nerv:

The skill thats gone into this is awesome, so pleased with the end result - and it doesn't look to outrageous right?

Just some minor items need sorting before mot such as - rear discs and hardlines that I put in, MOT station doesnt seem to like them - So will be putting in braided lines throughout (I guess I should of just done it from the start lol).

Well I can't help but agree although that K20 must be good!

She's been off the road for awhile but MOT on saturday, got a euro trip lined up in the next few months, I think I have everything I need minus a full length mishimoto rad!
