ok heres whats happened. I had a 235 tyre at the back left (which is more of the size of a 245), but i couldnt have a single person in the back otherwise it scrapes like hell, so i swapped it with the front which worked coz now i can have 2 people in the back but now its ripped my front gaurd a bit. Can that be rolled back or do i need a new guard? cheers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

eh, thats nothing, my guard is alot worse, creased it, pushed some parts in, others out, i got the hammers and dollies and fixed it all up, looking quite good, and havent damaged the paint too much, but igonna replace it though

It can be bent back quite easily if you have the tools and patience... Mine cracked the paint all off when its happened to me a few times... Its happened when i've been drifting on skidpan or grass, but not just general driving...

i had those rims before, vs clubsport or something like that aye? they did the same thing to my guards as well so i just lipped them both. always happened on near full lock goin up my driveway. use to always scrub at the rear even when lipped, ended up getting vx ss rims which had a different offset to the vs,vr,vq rims, heaps better clearance now

Probably a 20 head on a 30 if anything... RB30DET looks far better than making up some random number

nar its an rb20det, which has rb26 crank, rods, and 4agze pistons its bored out to 82mm making it an rb24det. i will post up some pictures and specs later, just had it started yesterday but it needs fine tuning its not really drivable as yet. if ur thinking about this, dont do it, its more work than u think, should of just built an rb30det, but still havent driven it yet so soon find out if its worth it.
