Brb, flying overseas to queue up for 2min noodles.

Mate, it probably doesn't even come with a flavour sachet.

Or a large Japanese man thrusting in your face

you didn't stipulate where said ramen was to be obtained

Fkn whats with all these Rota etc dudes though "Oh I'm not cashed up so I've GOTTA buy fake wheels NEW" Tonnes of nice jap rims about for even less coin than rotas

I don't get with all the hate with fake wheels though

If people run the rip off 'original manufacturer' argument, how many of these guys have ever downloaded music/movies illegally?

If people run the argument of structural rigidity, i think it has also been proven that some manufacturers holds its own in track sport events

I don't have fake wheel but if someone i wouldnt care.

A majority of the hard parker crowd are P plater with $10k cars. Buying genuine rays for 30-40% of the value of the car should be frowned upon more than running fake wheels :/

in this case the issue was him asking about how his Volk and TE37 SL stickers looked on his rotas....

shit for a daily who cares what you run just don;t pretend they something diffrent.

for track work, well that a different matter.

Recently I broke a wheel that was lent to me after I split my own tire in half.

The wheel that was messed up was a Work Emotion CR Kai.

Did consider just buying a pair of rotas in the same colour, and wondering if anyone would know.

There's so many that look so identical, that if you put on genuine stickers on what are essentially COMPLETE BLATANT RIP OFFS no one would know. Not realty. Enough that you'd never suspect it.

Which means that if you designed these wheels, you'd be pretty angry at someone blatantly copying your product for half the price.

It's wheel piracy :P

Do you have a story where you don't break something lol?

I've been running Rota's on the track for 3 years now and the only issue I've had is the paint chipping and bubbling easily compared to genuine wheels but I guess they'd all get pretty hammered on the track anyway.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
