Well all you need to do next with those.. get lighter tyres.. I like the GIII but they are a heavy tyre...

Since the rims are only like 6kg per corner.. Things to consider to further accel is to replace front rotors with light weight ones.. DBA 5000 slotted 2 piece would be nice!!! they are sooo light..

and the other parts i was talking about yesterday :) shhhhhh

ahaha

I'm not a fan of black wheels but if you are that's cool. Your pics don't really show what the wheel really looks like. They are hidden in the shadows of the wheel arches. Post some more pics with the sun on them so we can see just what they look like and maybe sway my mind in favour of them ;)

Looks nice. We got similar wheels on Saturday, but they are gold lightweights. (Black Body)

Problem is, looks a damn sight higher! :(

If you dont mind me asking, has the car been lowered?

if you are reffering to me ..yes 30 mm Eibach pro kit ..not very low but good comfort i guess ...

these wheels are also suppost to be light weight ..not as light as the OZ's but at least lighter than the factory ... Gold will be stunning on a black car !!! Let me see some pics as soon as you fit them ....

After quite a bit of fighting with toyota south africa, as my car has a full motor and service plan - i was a bit afraid to lower it - they said it would only affect my shocks warranty and i said cool ....

They are actually hyper silver with a polished/chrome lip. Must say the silica tyres are great..

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
