Hi guys, I recently bought some 15mm spacers for my rear wheels as the wheels more slightly tucked away and the fitment and extra width is perfect and I'm also enjoying the nice stance but I noticed that on rough turners it scrapes a little. What are my options of clearing an extra 5-10mm on the guards which would be perfect?

Thanks everyone in advance! :yes:

Roll the guard lips; that will get you the extra clearance you need.

Yeah, I'm still trying to find a good place to do it right as I don't want the rolled guard look with the little thin flare on the edges and lose my current nice flush look. Such a tricky process.

Your sig doesn't indicate where you live; you might get a recommendation if people know where you come from. ;)

Very true sorry guys. I live in the western suburbs of Melbourne. I've tried giving Phat Guard Rolling + LowDown Guard Rolling and they both never return my calls. They can't be that busy and even if so, they should at least take calls and booking...surely I must have an old number or something?

Thanks guys.

Some suspension specialist will do guard rolling; especially if they deal with a lot of performance cars.

It might be worth seeking one local to you and seeing if they do, or of they have someone that they use.

Cheers mate...just got some PM's suggesting Suspension Centre in Kealba VIC apparently they're really good and helpful. I'll give them a call - would have still preferred one of the above mobile guard rollers as I have young kids so it's very hard for me to go anywhere without my wife nagging! :yes:

    • Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.
    • That's convinced me I'll bump up the G30-660 to 770   Any idea if the difference in boost pressure? Cheers

    • Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
    • I was immediately reminded that your location is QLD. Sounds like a perfect SEQ business idea.
