May need to get my arches rolled tommorow, thats if my wheels get delivered tmrw at last & Mags gets the tyres in & if the tyres actually rub!!
Going to try & get 225/45/17 tyres on a 8J / 48 offset rim on std classic sti suspension

So anyone know a good place close by who can roll the rear arches on the day?

 

no i dont sorry ricky but i think you will find that thay will rub

 

pm russ he will know

 

If they rub too bad then Il have to go with 215's
Will try Russ

 

let me know how you get on ricky i might get mine done if yours are good as i want to get wider tyres on mine

 

top gear or r tec in st albans prob wiil use to mate

 

Hi Ricky. One of the guys on the RB5 forum used a company called archenemy.co.uk. and they done a really good job (although they do ask u to sign a waver first). I don't know where they are based but they are mobile.

bockett used them
the disclaimer is to cover them if the paint cracks
and i think it often does
bring it round mine ricky and i will do it, no disclaimer to sign
our complaints department is me
if you moan i will slap you

 

Can you actually do it Budgie?? And without using angle grinders or hammer drills!

 

But you may use Karate Chops to the roll the arches Mr Budgeyagi, but not on me!

 

Like I said Ricky, it is easy with a lump hammer, and heat gun to soften the paint will stop it cracking in most cases - I also have a set of panel beaters hammers if you want me to be careful

PS - can I get a lift on Sunday

 

No probs on sunday mate

 

Shall I drive and you navigate

Remind me to grab my buckets

 

I might throw together a ghetto arch roller as mine need doing

 

If there's enough people need it doing this could be an option

Yeah mine need doing... I was just waiting for some warm weather to arrive before my black OZs went back on and arches rolled properly. I was actually going to book in with ArchEnemy too... I've heard good things

Will defo be up for this.....

 

Yeah, Russ used ArchEnemy. Little Knocks also recommended them.

I'll book in when the car is back too.

 

Just spotted this one Jon, good find. Could be a good idea if anyone's feeling brave/skilled? £10 for heat gun too.

 

I have a heat gun so don't need that - if people are willing to take the chance I'll be up for doing it - if I ever get a moment

I rolled the arches on my cavalier myself with a set of panel beaters hammers and had a 1" crack on 1 arch and that was without heat - I did all 4 on the cav

 

Not needed as 3 wheels arrived today, the 4th is somewhere in the Interlink twilight zone

This was after 2 previous failed pick ups, the first saying they are too heavy packed in pairs & then rebooking individually & them saying booking still shows pairs not 4 packages. This was by DHL.

So then rebooked with Interlink who end up losing one!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Will wait & see if it turns up tmrw?

ps also last week my Opie Oils delivery was lost by Fedex & after 8 days I got them ship out new consignment!! This meant could nt get the car serviced, worked on & mapped this week either.

 

Its put me right off even going out on Sunday on the run with my $hitey wheels/tyres etc

 

At least your car is running

 

He's got a lovely new car to play with and he's still sulking!! Cheer up Ricky!!

 

Yeah Im just peed off

 

Come around and laugh at me getting peed off taking the headers off then

I haven't seen a cross-threaded nut in weeks

 

I would pop in mate, but taking the Mrs out for a meal tonight, well needed break for me from refurbing the new house, work, manflu, car shennanigans etc!

 

Feeble excuse - getting some ported headers later so nearly there - just need to get hold of Moley and sort some insurance

 

On the plus side... you've got a nice set of HIDS sitting at mine waiting to be picked up and fitted over the weekend

 

Jon... I've seen the quality of your work so between you and Monkey I'd defo be up for this

 

smile amd the world smiles with you
