Just introducing you guys to the motor and a problem!

Post by ukmk4europolo »

Hello people, i'm new on the forum and just wanted to introduce myself and the motor! So here it be :

(taken not so long ago)

The one below was taken about 20 minutes ago, after i'd just lowered the car more on it's coilovers, but i've had a problem with the one of the front wheels rubbing and making a horrible noice on the wishbone when on full lock, does anyone know how to get round this?

needs spacers on the front, probably only 5mm to stop it rubbin on the coilover! quite a common problem!
