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!

Also stumbled across these "special" parking spaces for those people from Australia Pty Ltd. The poor buggers... never get left alone do they :P

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...

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
