Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Had a rear end shunt recently... maybe your car has been written off and you bought it back... here's your chance to sell me your subframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Cool, Abs thanx for letting me know. If someone comes up within collection range I'll grab that purely for ease of getting the thing! Even I cant justify a drive to Berkshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockys96 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 so why is ure chassis bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 so why is ure chassis bent. Chassis itself is not bent, I was worried it had been in front end damage but not recorded but there is no evidence of that and the damage doesnt support that either. The part where the camber is attached to the subframe has twisted slightly but makes it impossible to adjust. Whilst under the car i searched for evidence of why this has occured and i found that an alloy bit in front of it had been flattened I.e like grounding So at some point the car has bottomed out. this was before I got it and I know when this was,I think it may of been when Robert's wheel fell off after getting the car back initally.

lockys96 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 so you went to christchurch tyres for your wheel alignment then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 so you went to christchurch tyres for your wheel alignment then? yep, great blokes I must say and know exactly what they are doing. My handling has improved loads even with the castor problem. apparently yours is about a cm wider, they remembered by the squeeze of getting your wheels on. He only charged me £40 to put on 2 new tyres and have an alignment (took 2 hours he tried everything!). But when I go back next time I'll pay £30 to make it up to £50. But I thought that was very good of him to do that because he didnt have too. I will not be taking any of my cars anywhere else I was really impressed... although when you first turn up the drive in scares you doesnt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
