Amjad Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Nice! Can you please do a detailed how to on rolling EP91 arches? I'm planning to do both my EPs in a few months and don't wanna fluff it up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Im not gonna lie, ive always rolled arches with a hammer/rubber mallet. This will be a first for me actually doing it properly, so ill probably just make it up as i go along, i'll report back none-the-less with any tips though mate.

MARC MOSS Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Nice work mate, the van could be lower lol mines completely decked Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 shes getting there mate get those fricken measurements, so we can get you some coils! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 That would be great thanks! I'm very OCD about my cars being clean/well maintained so I'd want to do it right the first time without damaging paint etc! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 @Paul: Yeah man i cant wait! And ive tried! He says he like them, even though he always hits off the floor and theyre held in with wood screws haha @Marc: Cheers mate! And it coudlnt get much lower, hes already cracked the turbo from smacking the exhaust, done the sump, flattened the subframe, and ripped off the splitter, thats probably why it doesnt look that low actually. @TrisK: She is indeed, got so much to do though! And balls i keep forgetting! @Amjad: No worries mate, im far for ocd, im only using a arch roller because i actually like this car! I think the secret to not damaging the paint is heat, im just gonna heat the shit out of the arches and hope for the best haha Also, just two pics i took on a fag break at work, did intend to wash it, but, sod that in the rain with a hangover! Might get away without the panhard rod as it doesnt need to get that much lower yet D1 spec wheel nuts i got off jakeep82. All for now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Just picked up the arch roller, although i forgot to bring the heatgun home from work, so, wish my paint luck tomorow! Will have to see how it goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Just picked up the arch roller, although i forgot to bring the heatgun home from work, so, wish my paint luck tomorow!Will have to see how it goes.Don't be a spanner. One of your mates will have a heat gun or a next door neighbour.Or at a push a hair dryerDon't do it cold, especially with the temperature at the moment. Paint won't last a second Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dan106 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Just read though this and all I can say is .................you and your mates have fucking slammed cars !!! Good work mate James Haha, and we wouldnt have it any other way!! In other news, Sunday consisted mostly of this Wheel bolt snapped in the spacer, this made me angry so i decided not to attempt rolling arches (i wouldve ended up just smashing the shit outta it with a hammer) But, spent most of the day getting fitment yo! 15x8 et0, on a corsa, that lays frame, think we did pretty well getting it to roll like that! Should be borrowiing the workshop on saturday after work to do the arches All for now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dan106 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Looks like he shagged a fatty on his Corsa bonnet Haha, theres more than one big dent on there ;) LOL Fitment looks good though And welli had a minor disagreement with the mate i rented the arch roller from, long story short ill be doing my arches with hammers again, i did it on my 106 with no heatgun and it barely cracked so, i conclude, it'll be fine! If i can ill try and take some pics while doing if anybodys interested haha (my old phone got run over by a range rover, i have no camera!)
