Tire Issue part 2

Well, Kevinthenerd was right,the tire was still being cut by the fender even after I had some of it cut off,well we cut even more out of it out and it seems to be fine now,still could use some camber tho..

Re: Tire Issue part 2

So you mean you looked at the tyre and saw where the fender had been cutting through it?

Re: Tire Issue part 2

Well according to tyrerack the orginal size is a 215/65 15.
So your actualy a running a tyre smaller than stock.
The chances of that rubbing are virtualy nil, especialy if you have already cut the guard back.

Now, are you also going to say that in this wonderful world of digital technology you can not get even one simple cell phone photo of the car?

Re: Tire Issue part 2

I have no idea what the original tire was,this car was bought used, it was a racer before...and yes i do have 1 pic on my cellphone but whenever i try to send it to my email it sais "Invalid destination address"..and i think it might of been the fender cuz I watched the other cars and the front right gets so low going through the turns.

Re: Tire Issue part 2

why dont you minimise body roll with a stiffer suspension and anti-sway bars?

Re: Tire Issue part 2

So, lets recap:

We have a guy who's been racing cars for awhile, has served on a pit crew, and comes from a motorsport family, whos running in a class that allows camber changes to the suspension, but limits tyres to stock sizes only.
He dosn't know what tyres he's running.
The Tyre he is running is to small, but still manages to rub on the guard, yet he dosn't notice it.
The guards have already been rolled to give more clearance.
And, he hasn't yet thought to invest in some better springs and shocks.
Oh, and his cousin, who is apprently a mechanic, dosn't know how to build a camber plate, or how to disassemble a suspension strut.

Re: Tire Issue part 2

You wanker, 73's had five cams. One intake, one exhaust, one midget, and two double helix's.
