WIP- Past to Present

Only the ones with the reflective back grounds are legal.

Just pop a 3mm spacer on for the test, will push the wheels out.

So is it coming to pv then Ad

Although annoying that's a bit of a result to be fair! Could of been far worse and at least they are an easy fix.

Ive bought some new std uk plates, so thats that sorted.
Benn-The plates did reflect, and the font is identical to uk font.....
Apparently they were made illegal last month.


Had a look at the wheel situation today and it aint looking good tbh!!!
The pass wheel does touch the gearbox, and the drivers side pushes the oil cooler pipes tightly against the bottom pully!! Its actually cut a groove in the pipes where theyve hit the pully!!! :eek: Lucky the tester mentioned it actually else it could of been bye bye engine..... :eek:

How do people that run coolers get round this problem??? The tyre doesnt just rub the pipes, it pushes them about an inch across, right onto the bottom pully???

As for sorting it, im now clueless. Tried a smaller 195/45 tyre, no better, tried 3mil spacers,no better.
Im either going to have to stop the rack getting so much steering lock somehow?
Or downsize the wheels to 14s, which also means having to fit valver brakes......

At this rate, pv aint happening. :roll:

Overall, not a bad mot result, considering the cars sat for months, and the engines sat for a year....
Its just if i need smaller wheels, its more time and money, both of which really dont have.....

Not good news Ad hope you get it sortd for PV.

Is your tracking miles out?

Its probably out, its a new rack and i set it by eye.
But if anything its towing out, which will help avoid my problem as the tyres front edge are sitting out slightly away from the car, if you get me????

How do your pipes run at the minute?

I ran mine in the grooves (was running 5mm spacers tho because of brakes)....

Also, speak to lee303 about steering limiters, sure he's fitted some in the past.

Easy fix is to disconnect the cooler pipes, lockstops on the rack will help but may not be enough to stop contact, custom pipes would let you alter the pipe run to the inside of the bay,wide track is another option that would work, I'd cut a channel in the chassis leg for the pipe run, problem solved.
I've known for ages you were clueless lol

This is how they were on my old shell and they are the same pipes on my new one and run the same way.
