hi guys

got a bit of $$ from my holidays working and looking to make my car look a bit better as i'm starting to get bored. i know they WONT make me go faster but i've got my exhaust and filter done already and thats probably as far as i want it to go "for now".

anyways, i cant decide if i should get:

1) Work Meister S2R rims

2) Body kit

This will probably be the last mod i do for the next 3 months as uni will start.

I currently have some rims but whilst they look alright, they're pretty heavy.

Pic of my current rims:

This is just my opinion, so please don't flame. Those wheels look very similar to the wheels you already ahve on the car. You'd notice more with the kit I reckon. In terms of the lightness of the wheels, that's not going to make that much difference just cruising around the place.

That IS a nice kit . . .

Do you have a FULL exhaust? A proper dump pipe and big cat would have to speed-up spool times methinks. I'd say go the body kit if you get all "cosmetic" on your car though, as I personally don't think there's much difference between the rims.

Have you considered something like this?

the mags looks good. get the body kit for rice factor.

don't worry about the weight of the rims unless you're already at a level to try to break your own lap time record with a powerful race-spec car, where power and handling is no longer an issue, but crucial weight reduction is still to be made.

      @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.

      Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.

      @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.

      @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
