aBhardwaj1990's daily, Laura the Bora.....Runner up at Inters, pics on page 62

I had the 20's on before with no scrapping at the front..
I'll have to run without spacers, can't afford new tyres yet.

 

[suj]

well take them off then!!!
why would you want wider fronts? wouldn't look at all!!

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Sorry I'm being dumb. So tired and so pissed off with myself.

The front doesn't scrape with the 20mm at that height, I had them on before I switched to the back.

Where can I get the spacers cut down if I need to? Wouldn't it be safer to just buy "ready made" 15 or even 10mm's.

Luckily I should be able to spray it this week, was planning on spraying a few other bits already.

Probably easier/cheaper to sell the 20's and buy 10's. The front is wide enough as is and will probably scrape if you load the car up with people again.

 

[pjdj]

Sell the 20's as people have said! Theres always someone wanting to buy some!

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Will make a loss if I sell them, so will keep them, as I bought them new.

I should be able to use them, when I get smaller tyres. As I've seen them used before.

 

[suj]

the loss won't be much, or sell them all together, and run without them, then when you have funds, get smaller tyres and then you can get adapters!!!

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Why do I need adapters lol

You have just reminded me though, I have adapters lying around that I need to sell! Result!

 

[suj]

sorry meant spacers, you are not gonna run them for ages, more beneficial to sell them now, then buy some when you do need them, simples

 

[abhardwaj1990]

No need yet, Mum has offered to loan me the money for the tyres, she doesn't want me ruining the car anymore lmao.

Will then try them with the new tyres, and make a decision then. Still have the adapters to sell, and could sell these 225/45 tyres as 2 are in decent condition, that should be enough to fund tyres!

 

[suj]

borrowing money for tyres?
you don't bloody need to, stop wasting money, just get them spacers off, DONE!!!!

they scrubbed, cos you have 20mm extra poke, if you remove that...no more scrubbing!!!

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Well I needed 2 new tyres anyway for the rear, would have been £100- £120. Whereas I spend £160 and have 4 new tyres!!

They're getting fitted cheaper because the guy is my grandad's mate. He's got them in stock so hence he'll give them me cheap. Whereas If I get 225's again, they're more expensive, which will cost me more money. I would have been getting smaller profile tyres anyway, so why not now?

 

[suj]

cool, go ahead then.

I never borrow money, if I ain't got it...I don't spend it, but sounds good

 

[cupra.al]

thats not good mate sorry to see that happen.
i agree with suj strech the tyres a bit and keep the spacers you have that way they should rub like that with a car full.

 

[arron2004]

Only just seen pic's dude really looking nice matey

 

[JordanMk3]

!! Sh1tting hell!! That looks painfull!! On another note, I like your sig pic

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Cheers guys.

I'm really having no luck with this car. Need a new front drivers side wing
So pissed off right now at myself

 

[M1KEH]

What you done to that wing?

 

[abhardwaj1990]

School boy error, didn't check my blind spot.

Reversing out of a parking spot at uni, didn't realise I was so close to a post, then it hit it.

Looked on ebay and looks like ill be able to get one for less than 40 pounds in silver.

That is my first ever "crash" lol, really could have done without it though
