How to balance an RS Turbo on one axel stand.

[MasterAuron]

Just spent a couple of hours moving one of my mates Series 2 RS Turbo from his old garage/lock-up (which I'm now having) to the garage in his new house. Some numpty forgot to bring the keys so we couldn't turn the wheels. Oh, and there's no rear beam on it...So we had to lift it up and roll it everywhere

Nearly all of the work done so far was done by my mate, his brother and myself. Took the chance to get some pics. Just the rear half to do now.

Engine all done



Safe on the trailor and balancing on original RS turbo wheels


Aaaaand finally...


...how to balance the whole rear end of an RS Turbo on one axel stand while you get the trailor into position

That looks like a sweet project buddy. Glad that didn't slip. How long did it take you to get it balanced properly?

Two of us were lifting up the back end but we needed a rest before we pushed it up the ramps onto the trailer so my mate ran to get an axel stand, put it there and we virtually dropped it on coz we were knackered lol.

The garages are in Boldmere mate. Just off the main street with all the shops on.
