Kerbed My Alloy

[SHAHZ]

So i pulled out of the drive this morning, realised i had forgotten something, pulled up along side the kerb in a hurry & crunch :shutit: :shutit: man im P****D, not one scratch on any of my wheels, to top it of its lifted a piece of the tyre, im hoping its just a flesh wound

So when you've calmed down a bit think about refurbing them :D

Your right Pete its only cosmetic, if i wasnt about to jump on the property ladder it would have been a perfect excuse to get some 18"s ....will prolly keep an eye out on eBay for another rim there always floating about there

How deep is that cut in the tyre? I had one once that was slightly deeper than that appears to be, and had the tyre replaced to be on the safe side, wouldn't want it to blow out at speed

Wednesday The fine tune is important for many reasons, most of all to the members here in LOC? "how" can i explain?... When i lowered Scarfaces car and recoved the geometry i understood that the suspension will need to "relax" and i used his car as a scale to measure how much this "relax" would affect the geometry, the inital "fine" tune showed a "massive" disparity between the recovery set-up and the fine tune within 500 miles, the next test is in another 500 miles, this should show a stable geometry ( i hope ) and from this LOC can have a scale for the geometry after lowering, the point of all this is....? "dont" assume the the geometry after lowering the car is "job gone"... see you soon. :D

Tony, ive done 700 miles since and probably will have done another couple of hundred before i get to you, will give you a call on wed morning to arrange a booking :)

Please do :D "sorry" if this reads like you are a "guinea pig" within this area! you are not, both you and Scarface are being "closely monitored" by me @ £0 cost, once done you can drive away wear free and we here at LOC will be able to "map" the results.
