  1. Spot the difference http://www.hksusa.com/info/?id=3646/
  2. Has anyone done this? post them up. http://www.territorioscuola.com/youtube/in...?key=twincharge http://www.performanceforums.com/forums/sh...ght=twincharged
  3. Yes, even silvias with re55s can give evos a good cane whipping.
  4. Its stress from weak materials and poor casting....but thats just piss and wind...untill you get yourself a 3rd opinion from an engineers perspective on how these failed, maybe you could go to a place here that does rims and pay their engineer for his opinion. Or you could buy another pair with spacers and see how long they will last. What did rota say?
  5. Sorry that does not make sense to me, if there is less air there is less spark,less ex gases?
  6. From my understand this would increase spool response? Wouldn't regulating boost from the plenum limit the amount of air entering the conbustion chamber thus turbine speeds stay the same?
  7. Interesting, does it work better than an ebc or bleed valve? does the turbo still need a wastegate.
  8. roh make custom offsets and sizes for their 3 piece rims
  9. Hi Im getting some professor ms1r rims and im wondering what is the widest rim I can get for 17X12?
  10. I know, read hes post then mine, he was saying that all cast are junk which isn't true.
  11. I have been told that Rota make OEM rims for toyota, can someone confirm this?
  12. The majority of enkei rims are cast and are often confused with forget rims, they are also light and strong. Rays engineering also makes cast rims for gram lights and others.
  13. yes I am an idiot, thanks for pointing that out.
  14. Fool, have you not been told, only takumi in his hachiroku can corner through with 2 wheels in the air!!
  15. No they dont, rotas have 5 and rays have six, look up post 64 on this thread.
  16. Maybe this will make you feel a bit better. http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...p;#entry5597815
  17. All rims can crack and buckle. All rims do have a used by date, especialy in motorsports. The type of material alloy used determines the rims strenght. Froget casting are generally stronger than any form of casting. Gravity, low pressure and spun rim casting all have their pro's and con's. So why do rota's have such a bad rep? first there was a company that stopped selling these rims due to a death of one of their customers, then its that they are new and fail, and how they break, seeing that there arent any air bubbles the only conclusion I can come up with is the type of alloy used, if they are using used metal which is very common in china, you have a huge range of alloys melted so it would be impossible to determine the rims strengh, if the thing could that they are using cheaper grade alloy.

  19. Dont care, you can't put a price on a human being. This was due to an accident, its rota with a work sticker, I have never seen a rim involved in an accident crack like this. Spot the difference?
