    Default Inner arch MOD ?????

    Hi I've read a few build threads on here and people refer to the inner arch mod . I'm going to be replacing my rear arches in a month and wondered what it was in advance.
    Thanks in advance sam

    Bashing fuck out of the drivers side arch in the engine bay so a C20XE/LET will fit without fouling with chassis legs

    You mean folding up the arch lip on the rear arches? its give a bit more clearance for wider wheels.

    Ah, well I don't think you can buy the inside part, only the outer arch. So I think people use another outer arch to make up the inner bit, if that makes sense. I did mine a bit more frankentein like, with several squares of metal carefully moulded (with a hammer) into shape and welded together in place, then loads of effort tidying it all up afterwards.

    I can't think what mod you might be referring to, but definitely worth considering in the area:

    Rolling the arch lips after fitting new panels for wheel clearance
    If repairing rust behind the shocks in the chassis legs, consider welding it slightly further in for coilover clearance, or
    Fit turrets if planning on going any bigger than 1.9" ID spring coilovers
    If the tank's out for the work, rear beam mount strengthening
