benJee_VTR 29th June 2009 19:50

Rimz Inc. still have my car as they also needed to replace the link bars aswell as the front springs, rear dampers and torsion bar.

So will have to wait till tomorrow to pick it up and get some pics! :P

Ben 29th June 2009 19:52

benJee_VTR 29th June 2009 20:06

Looking good there! .........................:p:p

benJee_VTR 30th June 2009 16:11

Argh they have failed to remove the torsion bar, so will not be able to lower the rear :(

However, front is lowered, link bars are fitted and rear dampers are on, so not all is bad. Picking the car up at 5:00.

Pics then.

Whiskerzz 30th June 2009 16:42

im sure they could get it out eventually :(
oh well might just need to book it in somewhere else and try them :y:

AndySAXO 30th June 2009 17:53

what you mean they could remove the torsion bar!!

sound like they didnt try hard eunf!!! get down to kj near the test centre he will get the torsion bar out!!! he is gd like tht!!

these rimz.inc company dont sound that great to me at the moment, anyway hope you get it sorted :y:

andy

Ashleyp 30th June 2009 17:54

get that shit lowerd y0

benJee_VTR 30th June 2009 18:18

got it back now, and i'm well chuffed, the diffuser keeps the rear looking low, and the front is decked lol. My mum and dad have gone out with the camera, so ill have to keep ya waiting a little longer :P

Andy, they spent all day today, and yesterday evening trying to remove it lol. Someone's had a go at it before, and cross threaded it, so it wasn't easy getting hold of it. He actually broke one of his slide hammers trying to remove it!

To be fair, they've been a pleasure to deal with.. if there were any problems they let me know, and eventhough it wasted the whole of today, they didnt charge me extra.
Might get Wilsy to have a crack at the torsion bar another day.

Id reccommend RimzInc to anyone :)



Pics this evening

stokesy 30th June 2009 20:09

mate!! that cnt b good..
looks like that diffuser ent too bad an idea atm then if it making rear look lower and not so out of place lol..

benJee_VTR 30th June 2009 22:07

benJee_VTR 30th June 2009 22:14

Also have pics from stripping and carpetting the rear :D







Liam-westcoast 30th June 2009 22:17

looks good mate, when the rear is done it will look so much better

AndySAXO 30th June 2009 22:23

like i said tho take a trip to KJ near the test centre, he will do it, he really is good at making a shit job good, my old torsion ( not on my car no more) was crossed thread adn have different thread size in it and he satill got it done for me,


on a different note looking good really need the back end down now to complete it, look so much better once done :y:

what bit did he hammer? hope it wasnt the arm? as some like he might of been doing it on notchs?

was it going to be done on notchs or the correct way?

on a different note, looking good just need the back end down now!!

andy

Not sure, i think he tried to do the notches way, not removing it. But not sure. How much do KJ styling charge?

Thanks mate, looks better in person than in those pics :) Might put the rear bench back in to lower the rear a bit more..

happy though :)

AndySAXO 1st July 2009 13:26

notches is the incorrect way to be doing it,

also KJ is about 50 quid, and does a good job, and will 99% get un siezed bars out and sorted!!

Andy

stokesy 1st July 2009 13:42

reli need 2 get the rear done mate..
looks slightly at an angle lol..
front looks good tho..
will look wiked when the rears done:y:

benJee_VTR 1st July 2009 21:32

Yeah im well happy with it, looks so much better.
It roars more when you open it up now, and feels quicker too. Even more so than the KnN.

Yeah, im sure we can fabricate something to fit your raceland mate :y:

benJee_VTR 4th July 2009 21:24
