A handy arrangement last week has led to Golgo sporting some new footwear. Replacing the stalwart TE37s are a set of Work Emotion CR Kai rims - in bronze, of course.

I think they look great!

Is a slightly darker bronze than the Volks - but it suits the purple perfectly.

Still 18x9.5" - the offset is slightly different, so they don't sit out quite as wide as the TEs did... but the difference is negligable.

They have stickers which will be applied in due course - as we all know how much I like stickers :D

The Volks have gone to a very deserving home - so stay tuned to see them on their new owner in the coming weeks. Will look hot :P

Ah Shan, that's the door.

The a-pillar is the bit the windscreen is attached to :D

But yes... the stickers are my next project.

Time they came off I'm afraid :P

BTW: Technically, since I still have the Rays wheel nuts - it's OK to leave them though :P

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
