is the pipework for the rallye intercoolers gonna be tight to rout?

Yep

its going to be ridiculous and i am at a loss for what to do....

Have you still got your helper springs in? you could remove them which would move the adjuster seat higher so the wheel wont hit.

yep theyre still in, wont it be super bumpy without them?

How many miles did ya do on them tyres and how much camber was ya runnin?

dont know, tyres came off my old escort track car, but they were fine when i took them off

probably about 2 degrees of camber at the max

yeah man

the alternator will be in the way too so i may need to do some ridiculous bends to avoid it ;-(

Na wont be any more bumpy without them in m8, they only there to keep the spring from dropping when its jacked up.

ya might be better off goin with a smaller intercooler if your gonna have to use really tight bends and stuff cuz itll loose its efficiencey then.

I hate banded steels lol may aswell put ya money on a fire specially if your the 1 paying to have them banded.

they are quite played, but i think they look awsome

fair play then m8, i dont mind the look of bandies but i jsut think its rediculous how much a set of cut in half steelies cost


Hopefully you can sort out w good way to route the pipes for the intercooler then dude

Agreed, hence i've always bought mine already done. Let some other mug pay for them lol

i was intending to make up some sort of 'jig' to hold the wheel straight and cutting the lips off with a plasma cutter, then pay someone to make me the 'bands' then getting a mate to weld them back together

but i now think thats quite optomistic....

VERY

Go for 7.5's and 8's if any mate. just keep an eye out on the classifieds for some already banded

8 and 8.5s ftw

too be fair i made them both in 2 hours for a laugh the one i trued up was actually straight but the other one that i couldnt be bothered on wasnt so straight... Looking back i cant believe how insane i was to drive on wheels i made myself with a grinder, sledge hammer and an arc welder, still they held together even at less than legal speeds lol
