Bloody rake headache!!!!
« 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




AFTER .........AFTER ..........AFTER

Why dont you put the 60 profile on the rear and 55 on the front to get that 5% perfection you seek lol

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!!!!
