get the black ones man. if you can get the race in shadow chrome tho, do that, itl look mint trust me. but blacks always a winner, white looks a bit cheap and nasty imo, and on that design doesnt work well...

As in the ones N-DAWG photoshopped? I have always been a fan of white and black, chrome isn't my taste (cheap ricey lancer looking :)). Although shadow chrome isn't half bad..... I'll probably get the black ones cogs photoshopped but I'd still like to see the white ones, may have to get 18s to hide the stock height lolz

iv got 18s on mine, but i think mine was lowered in japan so you know. yours looks more like stock height..17s look ok but 18s look perfect on a 33.. thats my opinion anyways. i still say go the apaches that cogs did...they just suit the car so well :) im constantly getting complimented for mine

Aight cheers, I've sent him a msg anyway and am waiting for him to get back to me. I'd probably buy the rims only as i have to factor in the $250 shipping cost (ouch) and ill find some cheapish 18 tires as im only on Ls atm. (Also NA means no power - no need for expensive performance tires :thumbsup:)

ouch yeah perth shipping would be painful. yeah well cheap tyres would be ok i spose. i know i had shit tires on my stockies (for compliance) i could light em up no worries...theres a surprising amount of torque in an NA :) thats why i went with namebrand tires (nexen N7000s). they may not be the best performance tire but they still grip awesome :thumbsup: its reassuring when you can pull out of tight bends quick and not loose traction....

Lol, my actual reason for new wheels is to preserve the tires on my stockies for maybe a track day or 2, thats later on in life though :thumbsup: (super expensive goodyear ventura which i got pretty much new for $50ea). I won't be doing anything stupid with my car cause i love it too much :) So i'm not afraid of cheap tires....

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
