I have had 3 sets of fake rims, (drifteks, varrstoen's and RG tek's) I have put them through their paces and they have not been any different to the genuine ones except for the wank you hear on forums

all those shots you see of f**ked rims are from accidents that would have destroyed real rims anyway.

end of the day, I have bought real rims and fake, and these days i'd rather put my money towards other shit :P

So owning real wheels is wank?

Just cause you think from your point of view, there is better money else where spent?

I was going to go to WTAC this year...

Since I didn't go up there doing some rough calculations of expenses, travel, fuel, accomodation, food, drink, tickets etc I figure I've saved $1000...

It's logical that that should go directly towards my car mod budget right?

I'm thinking:

Alloy Radiator (suggestions?)
Oil Cooler (with thermo and filter relocation, suggestions?)

New Tint, I've just removed my old blue bubbly tint... everything is so clear now, but so bright!!!

I ran 17s on the XXRs, 17x9.75 +24 iirc and had 255/40

sup

is it just me or does every evo 8 have a different shade rear bar?

ive looked at so many and i think in all of them, the rear bar is a different tinge/shade compared to the rear quater panels

surely not all of them have had touch up / spray work ?

bumpers are always a different shade as it's plastic compared to metal, and there is something with the paint when it is applying so the shade is always off a little

I had teins, they were ok. But I would just spend the money and go BC coils, there could be a chance you get knocking front struts like I did. Iirc it was pretty common in 7s

already knocking lol

not at all... the whinging I hear on forums is wank.

Real wheels generally look better and perform better, but people need to get off their high horses about them.

like the flack I copped for unsprung weight of fake wheels in a thread........ in a 300+rwkw 1400kg car lol

end of the day i'm not chasing 10'ths and neither are most people on here

i'm sure you can see where i'm going with this jamie :P

Haha!

I just wanted your opinion, nothing personal against you.

I didn't mean to sound blunt.

and where would one purchase a Koyorad locally? What thickness is good for a 33. keeping the stock thermo shroud etc? Keeping in mind its a daily with occasional track use... My water temps are getting up a bit too high on the Dyno, and came up a bit too fast for my liking when I was at Sandown.

Would also be good to have a bung in it for my water temp sensor....

Kudos have them for about the same as what they cost from the US now

Bung for the stock sensor or bung for aftermarket one?

kudos are very good and have helped me a great deal. Also happens to be 5km away from where I live.

There we go free plug for u Andrew ;)

When someone my size is able to lift and carry 2 x 18x9.5 with rubber at once, then you'll see the value in some quality forged rims

Maybe its just because you lift brah?

Dont know if there is the same room as a 34

But I was able to fit a 52 or 58 can't remember which one, whilst still retaining the shroud

The one in Richmond or Springvale? Need heaps of stuff

He works at Richmond

And on the topic of real vs fakes

If Richo can't tell much of a difference between his light weight enkeis and rota's on the track, and that he also trusts the integrity of the rim to hold up at a track, then its good enough for me :woot:

Paul Cahill in his 32R, one of the fastest guys in SAU VIC also has run Rotas with no issue

    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
