madmanluke's supercharged mk2 VR

how did you achieve that look on the fronts? 

[madmanluke]

what look is that mate?

what look is that mate?

the camber on the front wheels pulling the rim in line with the arch trim?

how wide are the fronts and have you got spacers/low offset?

sorry for the Q's but it looks lush and i want something similar

It's a lot of work involved.
The wheels are 8" ET10 AND wide track. So makes it roughly et 8/7 or maybe lower over standard mk2 track.
To get those under g60's, there is literally nothing left underneath the plastic, it's all been cut out.

And with the camber, it was running around 2degrees standard up front. You literaly need to undo the bolts that go through the strut. Have some one hand off the discs to pull them put straight. Then Re tighten.

I'm looking to have the rear quaters cut out under the arches again so I can run 5-10mm spacers on the back. Getting into the realms of needing air just to be able to let the front wheels clear when turning!

a lot of work then! I might have to make do with some more hubcentric spacers

Ignore all the badwidth images for now. im sorting that.

Dilema of this week? I genuinely cant decide so need some input. I like both looks equally the same!

Wipered?



Or de-wipred?



Thoughts?  :blink:

cant really see cos the images are restricted to 200x100 pixels, even though their native resolution is 2,048px × 1,536px at around 1mb each.

took a while to load and i cant even see them *squints*

NO wiper and and a bottle of rain-x. 

[madmanluke]

only just noticed that, maybe take a look at the source image.

yeah I know. just bought a server but its dog slow. Moving swiftly to a UK one!

Another thing i forgot to mention. A few days ago I i ran over what i thought was a massive boulder in the middle of the road. With the car being so low it sounded like I had done some REAL damage to it. It was horrible.
I checked the car over and everything seemed fine.

Today I came to use the horn at some dozy git. No horn sounding. Weird. Checked the horn push, fuse and relay. All fine.

Turns out that boulder was my horn..... Oops!
