    That's true you will need to massage the arch lips if you run any lower than stock. I am borderline on mine with 245s and I don't run too low, I need to get hold of an arch roller to give mine a tickle. The tyre shoulder profile makes a big difference too, some are much squarer than others eating up valuable clearance

      Arch roller I can borrow, or I saw a nice DIY one made from an old suicide jack.

      You have KWs on just now dont you? The steering arms are rotated in slightly from more clearance are they not? And lowered for bump steer?

      100 s4 front arches in the future methinks.

        Only dropped for reduced bump steer AFAIK, my geo was very similar after I fitted the KWs

          Mega wide arched s2 would be awesome.

              Another goodie bag from Kit

              A home made catch can, and another pair of top mounts



              Some plumbing, and a basic baffle between the inlet and outlet



              Fitted on a bodge bracket for now, nice having some space where the battery was



              Still need to find the tight 90 that goes into the maf-turbo hose to plumb it back into the intake.

                  To solve the tyre clearance issue I bought a set of 235s, attatched to set of wheels

                  BBS RX 17x8 et35







                  After the 3rd set of fwd handbrake cables being supplied I just fitted a set of fwd handbrake cables I had in the garage, fitted fine, just needed some grommeting. Handbrake now goes on, holds tight and releases as it should

                  Not sure which wheels to use as road/track wheels now? Both the same size, width and offset which is handy, BBS wheels feel lighter, the S6 wheels have wider tyres?



                  ECU has had a 3 bar map sensor, and new eproms fitted and is on its way back to me so hopefully she will be up and running soon.

                      Now trying to start her!

                      Spins, but will not fire.

                      Fuel pressure at the rail.

                      Spark plugs dry.

                      I have done an output test and none of the injectors will click, all other solenoids click away.

                      Any help or suggestions will be appreciated!

                          I am getting spark but no injector, or injector click when doing an output test.

                          Are you thinking hall window?

                            Apparently there's fuel pressure.

                              87a is often used for immobiliser circuits, do you have one fitted Andy?
