hehe thats a valid argument:lol:

The wheel was pushed under the car by about 20 degrees or so and the side was scraped off something cruel (u could see the paint on the curb) dont think any of the spokes were cracked though but didnt see the inside the wheel pushed into the rotor and took a big chunk out of it. Looked buckled but i dont know exactly what "buckled" is as i never done/seen this kinda thing b4

scratches can be fixed no problem. cracks and buckles are a different matter. mind you a small buckle can be banged out.

buckled means it's lost its round shape. either bent sideways or inwards. have you ever seen a bicycle when the wheel wobbles or even a car tyre that just looks like it's been drinking and just doesn't rotate properly? that's buckled

Yeh i gathered that but i wasnt sure if it was buckled or "buckled buckled" if you catch my meaning. Hopefully its not cracked. Could be bent sideways though

Not reely a scratch more of a gouge like the curb tore a piece off it

boostzor

if you want repairs try Mr. Mag

if you want to buy one try john at wheels world in subi, is an absolute gun at finding rare wheels and stuff....

and also try 2nd hand/jap importers as theyre a fairly popular wheel arent they? although some people may be hesitant to sell you just 1

may be time to upgrade to 18s:D

Ive got a wheel repairer in the city lined up but he needs to get the wheel first.

They will pay 4 1but i have to cover the rest maybe i could get the repairer or a supplier to overquote the wheel and work on a new set of 18s:D hush hush;)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
