matt325 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Just got back from a weekend at Sebring. Dropped 6 seconds from my time last October, could be the fixed differential, the RA-1s coming in, or, my just plain awesomeness, hard to tell. But I noticed this when unloading the car after getting home on the left side of the car: There is also melted rubber on the inner lip of my fender, so the tire is rubbing on the fender. It is also present on right side, but not as bad. Sebring has a long, very fast and bumpy right hand 180 in turn 17. Turn 1 is even faster, a left 90, but not as bumpy. Has anyone else had to roll their fenders to accommodate the suspension travel under large cornering loads? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaTechM3 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Yes, I rolled both the left and right sides as best I could to keep the fender from cutting into the tire. VIR North has a hard right hander that transitions to a steep hillclimb and would rub on my street tires on my first outting. I rolled them a few months back and have not had any problems since. Grab a roller and go to town on those puppies! Congrats on the time drop! Awesome work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbgeek Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Anyone want to have a fender rolling party before Summit? I know grandpa needs it, as do I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scany Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Anyone want to have a fender rolling party before Summit? I know grandpa needs it, as do I. I have yet to do this. Is there anywhere to rent the rolling tool? I don't think hauling the car somewhere just for that is good use of energy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of at least two people who have access to rollers who regularly attend events. Maybe all of you could rent/borrow a roller during the August event and take care of the issue in unison.

Jason T. Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 my m3/4/5 could use a fender roll as well, but only if it keeps the paint looking nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Eric W. Posted August 12, 2010 Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 I can bring my tool to Summit if you guys want. I used to have a cheaper unit that I rented out, but this is my baller tool (not the cheap blue Eastman one u see), so I cannot loan it out.

How long do you recon it would take to do a car if it's already on jack stands with the wheels off? Let me know what I need to do and pay and I'll sign up to do this at Summit.

No charge, just think of us in the future when you need rotors. Id love to sell you guys pads, but I cant (at least not the Spec3 pads; you DE guys can still buy pads off me!) Though if you have a different car or need something for your tow vehicle, etc, I can help. Shouldnt take more than 15 min or so per side. I can show you how to do it, or if Im not busy, I can help.

dbgeek Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I've seen the blue one, perhaps the baller one is the BFH? I know that Grandpa and I will both need to use it. Yay! One more thing that I don't have to rush to get done before the event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric W. Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 Not sure who makes it, but it doesnt have plastic working parts like the other one Spec3 fender rolling party! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbgeek Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I wanted to thank the Wonger for bringing the roller - my fender was cutting the left rear tire through T9. After 30 minutes with the roller and some bfh application, no more rubbing! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
