Who needs fender rolling? - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

sybir · 2004-10-06, 03:52 PM

I know I discussed it with Scott, and a couple other people had expressed interest; how many people are interested in getting it done, so I can arrange an on-site visit/group buy on doing it next time I come up to Reno?

I threw out some numbers in the other thread, but for now, let's just see who's interested and I'll work something out with Nate. Also, lemme know if you're looking for all 4 corners or just the rears.

MikeSTI · 2004-10-06, 04:17 PM

me

I havent seen what your charging or what all this does under the fenders but Im interested (after I see how you do Scott's

)

sperry · 2004-10-06, 04:20 PM

I will definately need a little more clearance in the rears... hell, if you can give me enough clearance to run 245's then I'm in for that as well.

So I'm in, for all 4, as wide as you can go w/o damaging the paint. I want some 245/40/17 track tires to fit for next season.

Kevin M · 2004-10-06, 07:42 PM

I'm with Scott... I don't want fender rolling quite so much as I want fender stretching.

I'm definitely in.

MattR · 2004-10-06, 08:10 PM

Me too...Rears only/

tysonK · 2004-10-06, 08:28 PM

Will this let me slam my car even further to the ground!?

oh yeah!

JC · 2004-10-06, 10:13 PM

Is there a guarentee that he won't fuck up my paint? If there is I'll do my rears.

No guarantee, but I'm going to see if I can get Scott B to put some clear vinyl on my fender lips to keep the paint from cracking and flaking when people pick at it.

That depends on how much beer you buy me

But seriously, you won't have any problems on the outside of the fender; you may want to hit the inside with a coat of clear just to seal up any cracks that develop. I rolled mine with a bat first, so they're a bit torn up on the inside, but on a newer car with the right tool, and a heat gun, we should be able to keep any paint damage to a minimum.

I got a heat gun.

The risk to paint is primarily if you do more than just take the inner lip and fold it up tighter to the inside of the panel.

Making the wheel wells actually larger/deeper is wher ethe risk is.

Also, be aware that soem autocross classes allow the former but not the later... Check the rule book if you care aout such things.

Alright, I'm probably in then depending on cost.

sybir · 2004-10-07, 03:16 PM

Okie,after talking to Nate, and discussing liability and other issues with my fat ass representing the shop legally, I think we're going to "rent" it to SECCS for a weekend when I come up, do like $100 flat for the weekend, then everyone who gets it done chips in. So if we have 5-6 people (reasonable enough) it'll be <20, and we can do whatever you want; I'll still be there to help/do it, it just won't be under the auspices of the shop.

If you don't want to do it yourself, Nate will offer it at the shop, with the tool, and he charges $100ish per car, so this is really a steal. The tool works really, really well.

I know Scott will bring it up at the meet, but let me know if you guys think that'll work, and I'll make it happen in the next few weeks.

ShawnS · 2004-10-07, 09:23 PM

I am in. I will def need my fenders rolled. Will Nate quote $100-ish for fender rolling and fender pulling?

JC · 2004-10-07, 10:16 PM

So wait I have to do it myself? Or if you do it and mess up I can only kick your ass not yours and nate's.

The second part. Since Nate's not going to be doing the work himself, and since Aaron's not technically an S-Squared employee, Nate can't warranty the work. So we just have to rent the tool from him, and Aaron's offered to help us out w/ his experience rolling fenders. I figure if we can get 5 people that are in, we should go ahead and do it... since that's only $20 each.

Exactly

Basically, we'll keep it mild, it's pretty easy. Pulling fenders is when you start getting into paint problems

Shawn, Nate will be happy to do that for you.

sperry · 2004-10-08, 08:47 AM

With all that sybir mentioned in mind, I'm just going to do the rears. I don't need issues w/ the front fender liners fitting because we jacked up the lip too much.

But once the new Azenis Sports come out, if they come out in a 245/35/17, then I'll re-evaluate my fender situation.

sti deede · 2004-10-08, 09:28 AM

Sign me up.

I'll help drop the price a little and who knows I might need them in the near future.

JC · 2004-10-08, 10:39 AM

I'm in as long as all I have to do is sit back and watch.

sybir · 2004-10-08, 10:48 AM

You have to buy milkshakes, then

Get vanilla, then we can use the shake to touch up your fenders afterwards.......

I just *loooooooooooooooooove* tapioca

But seriously, we can do a minor roll, no worries about paint, should be fine.

JC · 2004-10-08, 11:18 AM

Good deal, I just want to cram 225s under there so I don't need much.
