Title: Got my 20\'s on now!!!
Post by: jamie_eaton on May 27, 2004, 06:07:59 PM
well i finally got them on and surprisingly they went straight on! i have took the inner plastic mouldings out though well the front 2 any way! have to admit taking a sharp turning and hitting a bump you can hear a scrape but a little arch modding will soon sort that out!, any way i have pics on this link at the modified national show a couple of weeks ago!.

Silly question, but why do it?

The ride goes to pot, handling benefits are dubious at best, unsprung weight has probably gone up and tyres are more expensive.

I don\'t think he was thinking about the handling when he put them on, more for shows

Ah, you inhabit an alien world to me. I will only change things on my car if it makes it faster/better handling.  Looks are the  lowest priority for my projects.

Washer jet? By my birthday I will running an aeroscreen. Saves nearly 40kgs by the time you have removed screen, wipers, motors, water bottle etc.

Plus you improve drag and get to wear a crash helmet all the time.
