If anyone needs the rear arches rolling i can do them much cheaper than the professionals charge,

i went and bought the exact same tool they use

Oh this is mine





Tein superstreets maxed out on the rear

arches rolled

2 degrees of negative on the rear

215/40/17s Parada2's

Nice NHB mate!

How much do you charge for rolling the rear arches then? And where are you based?

And what's that hanging from your front bumper?? :scratch:

[Eric_Sn@il]

Hey mate

I'm based Leeds, West yorkshire, LS25

Not sure on prices really if it's just to fold the rear lip up like I have done £20-30ish doesn't take long really, I'm also willing to travel if my petrols paid for

and it's a TRS tow strap

[Az Supercharged CRX]

TRS tow strap eh, hmmmm sounds interesting! Got a link to where you got it from mate?

That's a good price for the arches, your friggin miles away from me though! but, I do have family up in Northallerton so could make it a worth while trip one weekend.

Do you have any issues with the evo 8 enkei's? I'm planning on getting a set too and I'm currently running 215/40's on my standard rims.

[Eric_Sn@il]

It was just from demon tweeks mate

and cool well the offers there and I do travel down to London regularly

the maim thing you need is to roll rear arches and use Mitsubishi wheels nuts as ep3 ones won't work

[paulydixon]

Off topic i know but where is the TRS strap fixed too? I thought the towing point on the crt was under the front bumper?

[Eric_Sn@il]

Only cool kids know

Nah its fixed to the bottom bolt on the crash barrier, i drilled the oriingal one out and put a larger one in for added strength

[Az Supercharged CRX]

Nice one, maybe we could sort something one day when you come down to london, I'm only 20-30 minutes north of London.

Why do you have to use the standard mitsi wheel nuts then? I was planning on getting some aftermarket coloured anodised nuts, if they are tapered on the inside of the wheel nut holes and the aftermarket nuts are tapered then that should be fine shouldn't it?

[Eric_Sn@il]

yeah mate not a problem

and yeah sorry, should have made it a bit clearer

they mitsu wheel nuts have like a locator built into the nut, so they need to be used

as long as your using aftermarket nuts designed for a mitsu should be fine too

[Az Supercharged CRX]

Oh right, cheers for that mate.

I know this is probably a pain in the arse and I'm a bit cheeky asking this, but could you whip a nut off and take a pic of it please so I can see what you mean? And a pic of one of the wheel nut holes on the alloy itself please? Reason I ask is cos I've already got the aftermarket wheel nuts to go on the wheel when I do get them and I just wanna see if I can use them or not.

If you could it would be much appreciated! if not, no problem at all! :thumbup:

[COSMIC T.C]

If not check out my for sale thread Saturday for pics.

cheers dude but meant weight of the evo enkeis not civic enkeis. As looks like civic ones in your photo.

[paulydixon]

The difference is weight is so slight:





Hardly the best scales in the world either lol

Also, these are the OE evo nuts, if anyone needs a set £30 delivered to your door

[raffopj]

I weighed one last night 8.9kg


Now does anyone know where I'd get 4 center Caps for them??
