Escorto. Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hey Clint How low is too low? My cefiro sits at 295 F and 285 R. On 15x8 rims Also will those falken 205/50r15s with manufacturers spec to fit on an 8inch wide rim still pass cert.. Oh and also someone cut my bumper iron to fit a Intercooler. Most of it is still there. Only a small strip cut out. Do i need to replace it? Chur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 as far as cerferoes go, the lowest i usually cert them at is 310-320 in the front (depends on rims/tyres) and 300 in the back. other certifiers may have different ideas on that. they start to handle like poo any lower than that, the rear toe change over a bump gets quite noticeable if that falken sheet says that size is fine, all is good. older pre frontal impact requirement cars dont need to worry about cutting up bumper irons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 older pre frontal impact requirement cars dont need to worry about cutting up bumper irons That's terrific news. Would that also mean that if some tyre kicker deleted the steel part behind the plastic bumper completely, then that would also be legit? Or nah?

Escorto. Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Cheers mate. Ill most likely get you to cert it when the time comes. Im in auckland 5 days a week now so makes sense. Paul White told me as long as it dont hit the ground when i get a flat tire its all gravy.. MACKAZ is sorting my tyres and alignment. He knows whats what with the tyre spec. Expensive tyres though.

Seedy Al Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hey Clint, sorry for bugging you again about all my stuff, such a noob. Anyway, bolt on Wheel spacers. Mine look like this As you can see, they have no locating ring on them for the wheel, but fit the hub very nicely indeed I was with an undertanding that wheel spacers required a Lip for the wheel to sit on However, I had this posted in my build thread Wheel adaptor location 2.5(5) A wheel adaptor fitted to a low volume vehicle between the hub and wheel assembly to affect a change in the wheel stud pattern, must locate with a close tolerance fit using the centre spigot or tapered wheel nuts or bolts: ( a ) the adaptor against the hub assembly; and ( b ) the wheel assembly against the adaptor. Based on that, it would be safe to assume my tomeke 15mm spacers are fine? All nuts are tapered etc and clear the wheels fine thanks for any help.

michaelme Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Heya The previous owner of the Chevette has moved the battery from the engine bay, to just under the dash, kinda exposed. It's secured down tight as, but I've heard somewhere that it needs to be in a sealed container? Es legit, or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hachi-ichi Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 i pooed when I saw I could get 195/50s for a 7.5 and 205/50s for an 8.0J on my SSRs. I got the ZIEX 912s in 195/55 and 205/55, completely missing the part of the sheet that had 50 profile tyres in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Based on that, it would be safe to assume my tomeke 15mm spacers are fine? yep, theres a couple of other things to look at with adapters- narrower ones like 15mm sometimes dont have enough material under the taper of the nut or under the head of the stud. from that point of view yours look ok as the nut sticks out heaps another thing i find a lot with cheapy chinaspacers is the taper of the nut doesnt match the taper of the adaptor- and the nut thread sometimes isnt machined parallel with the taper so the nut is slightly on the piss, all this leads to the nuts coming loose eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Probably an idiot question, but if a vehicle is certed with 25mm spacers, and they were removed would it require a recert? I guess the real catch there would be that wheels may foul without them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Yup. If anything is changed post cert, it will require a recert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escorto. Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 So i was working at a workshop this week. They said something about having to fail a wof check on needing a cert before you could actually get one. Is there any truth to this. Oh and how do i book my piece in with you Clint. And where do you do the checks. With any luck ill be ready in the next couple weeks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
