he only fold the inner metal sheet portion of the fender, so the tire won't rub on it.

You can also widen them, it's often referred to as "pulling". Quite a bit more riskier to do than rolling and not getting any ripples in the metal or chipped paint. In some cases, if the person doing the fender rolling isn't careful, they can actually pull(push) the edge of the fender out. It's even harder to do on our cars and make it look good because of how the wheel arch is flat around the edge.

Washed mine today too!

*Replaced the radiator as well as both upper and lower radiator hoses with new OEM ones
*Coolant flush, new Zerex G48 coolant
*Oil filter housing gasket replacement
*Oil change, now with LiquiMoly Molygen 5w-40

Potentially going to do a dinan style air intake, might do that on my next day off

It looks cool and its easier to spot leaks
It glows under a UV light

Not an inch but I would defenetly say you can gain about half an inch if you push it.

I'm running 255/35 achillies atr sport 2 xl tires on 18x9.5 et23 with bilstein b12 pro kit and camber set to -2.2 in rear and almost no rub with minimal roll/pull. I believe if I go at it once
More will eliminate rub completely which is on only big dips.

After 5 years and 45k miles this has been a banner year for broken stuff on this car.
To date:
- valve cover
- coils
- front right door speakers
- water pump

Replaced water pump and thermostat. Something in there definitely failed and cause some burn marks on the cover, but couldn't really see what actually failed. Anyway, water pump guts. yay. Nice piece of kit this pump is though - for once I feel like the cost of the part is somewhat justifiable. Prolly cost $30-50 to make?

Well after a test drive of course I've uncovered more problems

Think my CCV valve needs a replacement, either that or just the diaphragm. I think my oil filter housing gasket leak was keeping the problem at bay, because now the valve cover is getting pressurized.

Also got rid of my crusty old hood heat shield, wasnt expecting the hood to 'pop' (or that's my guess, definitely sounded like it).. Guess I'll put it back on and order a replacement.

Threw some new wheels on today

Sanding and grinding. Filled a few spots with wheel putty too. These were not horrible, so I was able to fix all of it.

In all seriousness, I put a euro airbox in my car last night.

Maybe a little more noise, not much else. It might make a little power but with my stage 3 intake I cant really notice anything. It does look way better than the other one.

I sat in mine and cried as my car had yet more issuses

[bobbby]

Took the car in for oil change, intercooler install, and to fix a leaky washer. Found out that my washer fluid line and coolant line were chewed by rodents...
