[quote][i]Originally posted by tom130691[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by VINCEYBOY[/i] To be honest mate i'm not that fussed. my car is more than fast enough for what I need from it. good drivers only accelerate once. haveing an underpowered car makes you a good driver. i'd only crash again lol [/quote] a point i agree with as my signature says its about how much power you can use not how much you have also bike engines have fuck all torque, pulling away at 6k revs isnt exactly ideal on a daily drive [quote][i]Originally posted by 1.0 12v povey[/i] wheel spacers look cool m8 of mine had 6 inch ones had them on his car for 3 years didnt do any think to the berings [/quote] congratulations, components have a pre determined safety factor and fatigue limit (10^6 cycles roughly) considering my corsa did 100k before its first wheel bearing needed doing your statement isnt surprising but its not likely a bearing would do 100k with those spacers on.... with my current set up i had to change a "cheap rear bearing" after 20k, my set up is alot closer to the standard system than silly sized spacers, so your friend was lucky not to come across any issues lots of cars that are "silly low and have stupid wheels" tend to drive slow everywhere anyway reducing where, these cars doing track sessions wouldnt last long, not exactly what they where build for but a set up like mine would take more of a battering on track for a longer time [Edited on 11-10-2012 by tom130691] [/quote]
