TO WIDE ARCH OR NOT TO WIDE ARCH!! heeelllpppp!!!

hey ive just litrly put the foam on as a guide to see what it would roughly look like then fiberglass over the mould once its been shaped up properly to the correct size ect.. but im not sure..
im in 2 minds... want a 2nd.. well as many opinions as i can get.. i feeel like my kalos is just going to look so skinny without ti though... but i dont wana go over the top and my car look like some retard went nuts with fiberglass on it.. :(
uploadin a few pics..
comments please guysss all the help u giv will b appriciated.. honest opinionsss plsss :D

from near the filler cap the kalos body arches out abit.. and what i intend to do is follow that line so its all flush and blends in like its part of the car and not something i randomly stuck on..

you would be surprised how far you can pull the fenders with a fender roller..

i got hime to stick out about 30mm from stock..

sounds grt, but i think i want a bit more than 30 mm looking for min around 50mm up..
but super tip tho thanks, didnt evn cross my mind lol..

you are planning to put wheel spacers in right, to match up with the flare.

YEEEEHH! lol cors.... i wana show my rims off lukin 2 get a set of lexani firestars


mm deep diishh...
mm drooooollllsss :P
these on a white and carbon fiber car ... :cry: brings a tear 2 my eye man.. lolll

i bet you could get them out that far.. and just reshape the metal deflection..

i am running 10mm offset 7" wheels in the back.

You may need to look into upgrading your brakes with wheels that big. :D I don't know what size you're going with exactly, but they just look like they will be heavy...

yeppp gona do a similar conversion like xiogary did
and rear brk disc conversion :D
cant hav skinny small calipers like the stok ones with huge rims.. im looking for about 18"ish..
but im worried becuase once i change the engine to the astra vxr one im gona be shreding rubber every day LOL.. so tyrs r gna b costin me allooott!
also i dont know too uch about wheels and tyrs..
if i get the wheels balanced and alligned once this has all been fitted ie brk conversion new engine and the big heavy wheels... will i get alot of wobble with the wheels still. becuase i remember with my old 18" chromes the wheels would wobbl loaads at speed... and when id drift the nuts would start coming undone :\

good luck m33vl. wish i had the time 2 do a big mod like that!~

damn, you will end up having the most customized aveo soon enough :P

why isnt anyone running a wet nos klit
if you use a wet kit and keep jets at 60 or 70 hp ,,,maybe 90 hp if ya chng plugs to a coldr plug
it wont injur a thing
and its lightr and cheapr than any engine swap .i guess i love drag racing too mjuch ,,,i piulled a triple 0 light once


a person could run a purge outta the grille or outta cowl at windshield base and purge a lil in the air wen at a light
surpising "JOHNNY HONDA"
this will be my winter project
i gotta get project GIMME 5 on the gas

If you do all that, your problem will be twisting CV axles before burning tires and wobbling wheels.

there is no reason a wheel that size should wobble. are you spin balancing it and using hubcentric rings?

if the nuts are coming undone, you do not have enough threads making contact with the wheels installed, you either need different lug nuts, or longer studs.

nos guy.. no one is running nos because you are supposed to build an engine with nos in mind anything else is a risk or compromise, and you only get power at top end for a short shot. you should also have a computer set for nos. or it could be worse if your car does not react appropriately. if you go turbo, or build other areas you you get improvement through the power band and you can build the system to go on a stock block. plus even though nos has a lower install cost, filling the bottle constantly quickly levels the field. If you go turbo with nos you get the best of both world, but you need built and proper management for that.

umm twisting cv axls dont sound too nice... LOLL
ahh as youve probably summed up by now im onlly semi good at making things look okish.. i dont know anything too mechanical, but im better at the electronics side of things..
without sounding too dumb :oops: .. how can i avoid twisting my cv axls.. :roll:

i would run nos, but like petrified.rabbit said cost of re-fillin em wil amount up.. henc the engine conversion and plus if i swap my engine il hav a entiiiire line of bolt on parts available to me specily as im in the uk as well...


just came in doors now from a few hours of working on the car.. first i tryd fender rolling.. BIG NO NO FOR ME.. loll i got anoyd and ended up cuttin the metal so i could bend it more and more for it to stick out more.. didnt work..
luuckkkily i found a proweler wide arch kit frm a corsa i purchased a while back intending to fit it on.. and voillaa i done a bit of it.. and choped a loooadd of the side of the car off too LOL.. the way i see it.. umm less metal lighter car LOL
:(

andd also in the pic u may notice my front fender is bulging out.. abit like the xtreme aveo one..
EASSSYY CHEAPP FREE MOD...
ALL I DONEE:
1. remove fender..
2. place fenders bottom part on floor and hold top part were it bolds in 2 engine bay..
3. gently apply more and more pressure causing the fender to bend slightly..
4. bend the bottom part of the fender which bolts to the botom of the car near the wheel out as much as it needs 2 to bolt back up..
5. keep applyling pressure till the fender archs out as much as you want it to :D

I just went with L3 style Versus fenders... they accomplish the same thing. They ran me $75 bucks or so plus painting and all.. :D

your fenders are... JUST WOWW!!
i would buy them.. but i dont think they do them for the kalos so i have to make do with what i have :(
you guys have more for the aveo than the kalos.. when ever i search for parts i type aveo rather than kalos...
lolll.. :(
i love your car soo much... its soo... like reallly nicely done up..

Even though I think yours is turning out to be way sicker than mine, man. I like what you're doing to it. And if you get that engine - you'll have the swap of my dreams... except for it's more realistic for you.

by the way your bodywork looks great
,as far as nos goes you can run moderate amounts with no engine mods ,,and we all know thats true or these stupid people who run outrageous jet sizes in stock engines couldnt get away with it as long as they do..
60 or 70 hp on command is hard to beat,,here i can get bottles filled for 4 dollars a pound ..and a botlle lasts awhile ..a turbo is wondferful but its not the easiest thing on a motor eitheir ,,its an exhaust driven compressor that literally brings your engine oil to a boil ,
dollar for dollar ypu cant beat the zing nos will give you
its not so much a top end thing but nos is supposd to be activated at w.o.t
and used occasionally
all im saying is its a fast cheap easy and safe way to get an extra 70 ponies when u need em
i hate to admit it but im 40..i was drag racing wen tuning wasnt cool
and nos was ran on carbs
tuning is so u can squeeze out more hp
u can run 60 shot jets on anything without a mod one or a tuner
for that matter u could run a small shot on a lawn mower motor
sure fancy tuners and hardened cranks etc are great
for big numbers ,,i dont thinkl 60 hp is too shabby
this wonter ill prove it ill hook up a 60 or 70 shot wet kit with a how to for everyone and ill even video me smoking the front tires for ya
i reccently sold my mustang gt ,,(i know im still sobbn over it)
and without a tune i was safely running an 80 hp shot and with my "nitrous tune"
i could run 110 shot safely
>>with a coldr plug

dont get it wrong i love the idea of a wet nos kit, cos like u said no tunin needed and its on demand, but ironicly i live in London of all places and there isnt that many mod shops the nearest place is nother place called essex or further up north min 70 mile drive... just to refl my nos tank... thats gona be bux forr me as il have a 2ltr thirsty vxr twin turboed as it is...
but i still would like the kit.. with a nice lil purge kit.. few leds near the purges to colour the fog.. OOUUUWWW!!!!!!!!!
"SCREAMMS" LOL i feel like a school boy!

If you do go with 2.0L Twin Turbo, I'm not sure you'll need the nos...

mmm.. but would b nice having it..
as the tesco adverts over here say... "every little helps"
LOOL :D
i probably wont ever use the nos.. i heard too many ppl messin up their engines via nos... so if anything it would be mainly for show.. and the luxury of sayin "i got nos 8) " loll... could help with the flame kit on my xhaust actually LOLLL. might giv it an extra few feet...
