[one job leads to another grrr]

No problems dude, my wheels are 17x8 et35, -3 negative camber and just had the arches rolled.

Going for complete flushness but wussed out on 35s and went for 33s instead

[one job leads to another grrr]

If you can wait a couple of weeks I've got some 33mm ones on order, and depending how they fit, might swap for 35's

I think "21 & spent all my pocket money on a sorry looking peugeot" is too long for a title though bud

[Getting a small feature]

All done for you mate, site dosen't look too bad either.

Shame they had to go with a name of aggressive rides and then feature some of the most non aggressive cars on there though.

[Uk kaminari stockist?]

Ahh amber, ive been there before. You're a gent

Thanks

[Uk kaminari stockist?]

Sent a few emails to them direct and received no response, but it does say on their website they have a uk stockist.

Does anybody have any ideas as to where it is or how to go about finding it?

Ta.

[How do I remove these]

And then get some celica infills

[What to do....]

Thanks for all the input guys and girls, will try soaking the bits for a while and see what happens also ams has sent me a pm regarding a replacement subframe which was kind.

The £700 is if everything needs replacing, if it's just nuts and bolts then it's £150-200, I'll take it somewhere else to get a secondary opinion aswell.

[What to do....]

Sounds like you own a 40 year old car with that diagnosis! Did they give you a break down on which parts are rusted, because it all sounds a bit far fetched to me buddy

Ive been given a sheet with a picture of all of the components broken down in their set up and part numbers next to them with the price of that part (at cost) then the parts that they can see that need replacing ie bolts etc have been highlighted.

I know it sounds far fetched but I trust my mate not to screw me over, he is the dealership manager an all so not following orders.

Like I said the £1400 is a worst case scenario but do I run the risk? As if they start to do the work they can't really stop if it does start adding up, as they will have a car stuck on their ramps.

Nothing's ever seized when you have an oxyacetylene torch!

Spray a bit of WD40 on it!

Ha I swear by that stuff most of the time but don't think it's gonna solve this one

[What to do....]

Just got back after going to pick my car up from the garage, after sending it off for wheel alignment only to receive some bad news.

They said they couldn't carry out the work because nearly every bolt on the rear has seized and won't budge, and didn't dare try too hard on them for fear of shearing/rounding any of them off.

Apparently rust has set in on most of the parts at the back there and will need to be cut off and replaced,

my mate works there so is offering parts at cost and labour at staff rates.

parts alone- assuming it's not just the bolts but everything else that needs replacing have been quoted as £717.40 ex vat!!! so all in with labour etc could be anything up to £1400 I guess.

(apologies for being vague with part names but I'm not the most mechanically minded of people :rolleyes: )

£1400 is almost the value of the car itself!

Of course there is a chance it could just mean having the bolts cut off and new ones put in their place and the other more expensive parts are fine in which case going to cost something like £90 ex vat, all in £150-£200

I dunno what do you reckon?

[Arch rolling]

Nice one.

Thank you.
