Title: Bloody rake headache!!!!
Post by: RhosneigrGaz on 09 January 2010, 17:14
Someone kindly pointed out that my rake was sh!t so i stripped the arse end again and lifted it to the highest adjustment today.

Working in the street in the snow is a b!tch eh?!

It's not 100% where i want it but i'd say 95% there, and 10 times better than it was before. But it's as far as the adjustment goes so i guess it's gotta be good enuf!!!

It's just hit me, i have just been out to check and my poxy 14's are running 55's out back and 60's (Yes they do a 60 profile! lol) up front, no wonder the thing is aiming for the sky!!!!

Just need my G60 steels to arrive and get my stretch on then!!!!!



BEFORE ..........BEFORE.......... BEFORE

Do i like them... Not really.... But i don't find them offensive as a stop gap set either, better than 14's BBS's with mismatching tyres!!!!
