dammm man the top ones are oohh so very similar to what i was telling you about today..

this weekend coming up if you want come with and we'll get some wheels ..... will probably get better price if were buying 2 sets

Ian

PS: thanks again for the help man

Funnily enough my brother has the Gram Lights on his Lancer coupe and I have Work Emotion CR-Kai on my R33.

Hyperblack is okay because the colour hides brake dust well. My CR-Kai get on my nerves because being multispoke and white they take a long time to clean (almost 1/2 hour to get them spotless).

The thin spoke rims will look good because you show off the nice brakes - nothing is uglier than big thin spoke rims showing puny rims.

A guy up the end of my street has the first ones fitted, but smaller (they look like 16's) and in flat black.

They look ok from the side, but I prefer a big lip, like the ones I recently got fitted.

The hyper black definately makes the wagon look less 'showy' and a bit tougher.

I thought the second option was the go but now not so sure... If it's not low enough you might end up with this look, even though these are 17's only... Looks more like a soft roader at standard height than a tough wagon.

Heights are not an issue, i have adjustable bilsteins.

Also, looking at 18's as that is EXACTLY why i didnt want those wheels at first. Idealy, i wanted 17's to save on tyres, but now ive decided you only live once :P

Ill see what happends, i might start saving for a race car though... mmm choices choices

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
