FEED wide arch kit now on : big thanks to all those involved.

[Initial-D]

Out of interest regarding the inner trim, on my front arches I had the inner trim cut back to stop the rubbing with the car being lowered. I had some under seal type stuff put under there to protect from stones etc.. Being at the front I was told to be careful in very wet weather in case of water getting into the electronics - but as yet I\'ve had no issues. I imagine once the back arches are done I\'ll have to pull out or trim back the inner trim too.

I think you should have the arches cut back as said and also have the lining trimmed first to see how it behaves before pulling it all out.

I don\'t think you should blend the rear arches tho as I really like the definitive body line between the Feed arches and car body. It\'s as Feed have it on all there race cars too.

Lee, I\'m just getting Msn now what\'s ya name? (PM it to me thanks).:wave

I\'ve got a C-West, Carbon Fiber 3D GTII wing with black struts about 1500-1600 mm in size! Huge!!:eek: Saw it on the Feast FD track car and thought \'I gotta get me one of thse\'!!;)

Initial-D, have a closer look at the picture.....that\'s a Type II-R front not a Type II. The differences are subtle but they\'re there. The Type II-R is extremely hard to get hold of, it\'s even got the genuine FEED sidelights which cost $$$! Chris, you got yourself a cracker there, looks absolutely incredible!

Lee : I see what you\'re saying now, I\'ll have a closer look and try giving the car a bounce to see if that\'s the problem, it\'s the rear arch by the way.

Shame I can\'t set my suspension a bit harsher until it gets sorted.

[Initial-D]

Thanks Millspeed for the info - I was aware of that hence why I listed mine as a Type II and not the revised version.

Yup the sidelight covers are pretty pricey as are the Feed HID kits!

Add some Feed coilovers onto your car next Chris!!

I\'m going to have to take it back to the body shop to get the rear arches looked at.  Which probably means pulling them off, cutting back and making good the existing arches then putting the new arhes back on.  Cha-ching.  Sigh.

[Initial-D]

I think you have argument for them to do it for free as it should of been completed in the first place. If they kick up a fuss they should at least go 50/50 with you as a sign of understanding to your situation.

i know on my RE-A kit the rear liners were refitted even though the full wings were replaced, you can  put your hand between them! guess it was more to keep any crap out of the arches

[J4P RX]

Its not the liner its the arch  (I think lol).

You had a chance to have a look yet Chris and see?

When I ran 9 +20\'s with 255\'s I kept smacking the arch.  Was almsot undriveable but was cool hit bumps on the motorway and seeing plumes of tyre smoke pouring off the rims :rollin

[chrisBoid]

Hey Ben, great work,

I prefer the second one, it\'s a bit more subtle
I quite like the FEED double stripe: -

But in colour(s) that go well with blue (silver/white and something?).

Makes me think I should try and get sponsorship

Lee : sorry, I haven\'t had a chance yet (haven\'t been home), will get a chance this evening though.

I have verified that the rubbing is occurring on the old rear arches, wiping my finger across them revealed black rubber - I\'m suprised the stock suspension has that much give in it!

Took the car back to Supreme who are going to sort it the best they can.  This means taking the wheel off and cutting away as much of the original arch as possible and cleaning it up - all without removing the wide arches which are bonded on which makes removing them rather difficult.

It shouldn\'t all be _too_ expensive, and I\'m confident in their ability.
