So after the initial fun with the car i rubbed through the whole arch loom.

this is when i took her off the road for the fun to begin:

[ezza]

started stripping for loom swapping:

I've seen the finished ish pics on the wheel thread. Looks good man.

The "red road flare" pic gave it away lol.

[ezza]

after finding out the hard way that the JDM loom is different from the UKDM one me and the girlfriend tried to make a copy of the JDM one with the UKDM one, needless to say the JDM one was too far gone, shit was melted together so we couldnt make out where wires were pinned to the start charge loom

Pretty hot navan s14 with those rezaks :O
Do WORK

My tyres were scrubbing on the inner arch obviously hence the tubbing but something harder to solve was that the tyre was catching the underside of the wing 'truss'

So i supported the front of the car to stop any 'sag' while i started modifying it.
I cut in hard:

folded it back so i could get to the back of it and cut it off.
Cut to size a peice of 1.5m, tacked one end then bent to follow the curve and tacked in place:


Then once it was secure i welded it in, thoroughly, seeing as its structural. Dont mind the dog shit welds, i was upside down looking up with the sky in the background which meant i could see fark ALL

from the side:

New clearance, im well happy with that:

Anyway, back to the tubs:
The general idea:

I cut along the length of the arch to get rid of the curve back inwards towards the tire, il weld a strip in its place for maximum room:


Put the pipe on to see how much room i could claim before fouling the pipes, plenty:


After teaking and trimming before i knew it it was 9:15, i couldnt carry on grinding so just made some rough templates for me to work with tomorrow:

More tomorrow

Thats how i had to leave it after my welder started playing up (i need a new swan neck liner).
HUGE thanks to stokes for the help, that guy has patience and skill with a grinder
