guard rolling

[dustyae86]

hey guys i just put 195s on the front of my car and i found with passengers over bumps the LHF rubs causin a fair bit of damage soo any one got ghetto advice i heard that you can use a piece of wood to hammer the lip up any one done this and did they come across any problems???

[bahnugget]

most tyre places will do it for like 20 bucks a guard.. barring that, u can probably use a rubber mallet

[johnny_08]

50 bux normally and make sure they heat the guard up otherwise tell em where to stick it

[mc68]

if ur not worried about paint get a rubber/plastic hammer and go nuts....

i just used a normal hammer, worked fine http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

[ae86dave]

then jus smooth somebog over them and sand em back

[johnny_08]

yea but thats a whole process http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif , if u want a drive in drive out thing go for the tyre shop

[ae86dave]

or jus to get some clearance cut splits in the roll thats inside the lip of the gaurd and jus "tap it" up.

if you just want to roll them fold the lip up into the arch using a hammer, then if your car is low enough use a section of pipe big enough to just fit in between tyre and guard, lever on the pole while rolling it over the wheel and it should flare the guard out. just don't go too crazy or you'll crack paint or worse crease the guard.

haha that is gold its like bogan style guard roller i could do that but what does everyone think if i were to get the air hacksaw cut small slits in the underside then rubber mallet or normal hammer with wood?????

[Gilly]

i don't think you would need to cut slits in it just use the hammer, thin steel is plyable it has some "give" so you don't need the slits in my opinion.

i might have a go at your trick 20v_KE70. i love dodgy DIY http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

[dori_86]

did u see that on a drift tengoku (drift paradise) DVD? 20v?

[slydar]

no need for the slits. you would need MASSIVE wheels to need to do that.

just 195/60/r14.... i thought i would need the slits so that the guard wont crease

[Gilly]

i had a mate show me once, i think its a very common way of flaring guards.

put my car on the hoist tonight and my front wheels are odd http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/huh.gif the left hand side one has a slightly different center and i found out also that it is scrubbin on the bolt that joins the front bar onto the front quarter panel.... not good http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/sad.gif so i might just have to sort of jack it out a bit (put a jack between the body and guard i am hoping this is going to work

might want to check ur caster first, as that may be all it is

There is an option vid where nomura does it to a silvia they are testing different s-tyres on.

[.wolfwood]

how do you quote people, i click the little button dude it does shit all, anways about the hole pipe thing i saw that on one of theoption vids or someshit, some little asian dude doing it.

was kinda kool

[Gilly]

as blood child said check your caster dude, its weird that it only rubs on the one side, has it ever been in a hit that you know of?

might try and figure out how to check the castor at work tommorrow... we only ever use the toe setting for custoimers cars

[poh_86]

i agree with the castor, whip out the measuring tape and get both sides out, i prefer not to max out castor just enough to clear or theres some visible thread showing
