Yeah, that's an excuse. I don't care if it IS even if it doesn't LOOK even. They're coilovers right?
Fix it.
That's the same shit I hear about every car I post on our local euro forum from all the VW guys.
I don't know how their concept of the term "rake" got so backwards, but they think it applies to fender gap. And apparently, reverse rake is when there's more gap in the front than in the rear. And if your car isn't so low that your front tires can barely turn, it's not lowered. At least that's what I keep getting told.
Rake is the relation of the angle of the car to the flat plane of the ground. When it started to mean how much fender gap there is, I have no idea.
Who cares if that's how the car was designed. Lots of cars have the plight of the low rear fender. If you have coilovers you can balance that nonsense out.
Seriously? So every driver in every pro series is a woman? When I have an event I drop my car off. The shop checks it over, replaces parts, bleeds brakes, installs pads(that come from a sponsor) and I go have fun. How does that make me a woman? My radiator neck broke off at an event... I went into my tow rig grabbed a fresh radiator(oh yah it was free) and installed it. I know how and can work on my own rig.
Your seriously going to bullshit me Charlie and tell me if a shop would do all your track prep and maintenance for free you would tell them "I am not a woman, no thanks".
Shit man, I dropped my car off at the shop for an open house and when I came the next morning the owner said he put a new intake boot on. The old one was cracked and it looked bad with the hood popped when customers were walking around.
Club racing? SCCA? NASA? Where and what do you run?
Crazy thing... Don't race yet. I run HPDE's and instruct at local events. The car is built for NASA GTS3 and BMWCCA IP. It is a matter of having the time to put into the racing. I hope to gather more sponsors when I am actually racing ;) Having a shop name on the side of my car and how often it is seen though has helped the shop. Even if it is just an 'HPDE' car.
Reverse rake? Looks good to me. I think you guys need to learn about ride height. Depending on the fender shape/height and then wheel/tire combos you can be the same height front to rear but the gap might be different.
