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...

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
