Well after tonnes and tonnes of phone calls, emails and door knocking; I finally have my new rims! Been searching for an entire week but no one seemed to have them in stock :) Got on the phone with a few mates and through a chain of connections managed to land myself a sweet deal on the 18" Impul copies in Deep Dish :D from Tempe Tyres.

The Gear:

18 x 8.5 Front with Kumho 235/40 ZR13 92W Ecsta Supra

18 x 9.5 Rear with Kumho 265/35 ZR18 93W Ecsta Supra

Leftovers:

17" R34 GTT Stock Rims with Bridgestone Regano tyres.

* If you are interested in these rims for whatever reason, please feel free to send me a PM with an offer.

Special Thanks:

* Robbie who helped me organize the deal with Tempe

* John from Tempe Tyres who was really helpful and friendly

* rukus, ecl, wink, A New Tattoo and d00dz for coming along for the fun!

LOL my IC isn't crooked... just the way we have cut the front lip makes it look that way :P Maybe it's time to bring out the angle grinder again!

d00dz: yeah there was a set of lock nuts put in so that's cool :) Although, I have heard from a few people that the lock nuts from Tempe don't actually work :)

ecl: yeah, tell me about the farkin' wait ehh?

Well time to finish painting my eyelids :D See how they look with the new setup!

PS: d00dz and ecl, I'll see if I can string together that event for the 26/12/2005. Oh praise CALIPER DAY!

Oh BTW, if anyone is after some quality Tempe Tyres seat covers... let me know, I have one spare in White :) The other is currently protectin' my computer chair from the elements!

Thanks Dave,

Now how about a hook up with those stock rims :)

Also, could you please have a look at the brake caliper day thread and see if you could hook us boys and girls up with cheap paint from your work?

MAR55S: tsk tsk tsk, always the same old comedian :D

n15m0: pics have been uploaded in another thread; think it's in the general car discussion section (sorry lost track); they look different to yours :D Not as wide...

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
