Hi all ive finally had some time off work so i could have a good look around my car i dont know much mechanically but i dont just want to be someone that buys parts pays for them to get fitted and hasnt got a clue about them so i would like to learn from you lot. I have a few issues the main thing that is bothering me is when i go over small bumps and dips in the road my tyres scrape arches like mad but it seems i have a pretty big arch gap would this be worn dampers /springs i have attqched photos so you can see also i have put up a pic which i thing is a manual boost controller but not sure so any help greatley appreciated . Oh and a little plug thing that isnt plugged in ???

 

Wheels look pretty low offset with a large tyre. They are probably rubbing because of this. You could raise the ride height, roll your arches or get a set of wheels that fit.

 

Ok thanks i want to change wheels anyway what size would i need do get would you know?

 

Id be getting the rotten arches sorted before they destroy the car too!

 

There already booked in next thursday and friday mate hate lookin at it

 

Part of you problem is the width of the tyres, they are all wrong for a classic!

I'm gussing you've got maybe 7.5/8 inch wide wheels?

At 7.5" wide wheels you want 215/40 45 at a push sized tyres.

Bare in mind a Terzo is 18 or so years old, so you could have tired suspension also. The main culprit is your wheel/tyres though.

 

Get rid of that bleed valve also.

Rich at FB Tuning is a good lad, and not far from you.
