I've already ruled out white but included them anyway for completeness. White may look the best clean, but the absolute worst dirty.

Wheel choices:

black rims so you don't have to clean the brake dust off them.

Yeah, go black dude! I used to have gold rims, then went for a new set of black rims about 1 week ago, and they are so much better. Easy to clean, and they look damn mean, too!

With a white car, the black rims will suit better than gold, or white.

Contrast dude!

If I had to, black.

Could go with black and red lipped??

or even bronze with machined lip...

It's gotta be a specific style for one flat colour.

gold look sexy on black and redish car.. i suppose.. but if you get the wrong gold it can look really.. ugly sometimes...

white on white would be nice but you'd have to clean it all the time to keep it neat

black is the easiest and best looking (imo) cause i hv white on black too :P maybe im just bias

Gold.

If I had had the money, I would have bought a white facelift, put gold multispoke rims on (with a silver lip), debadged any 'word' badges, and then painted the toyota logos in gold to match.

Sorta like the c-spec subarus... (not this model, obviously)

mmm i dunno man

ive never really been a fan of black rims as you cant see the bling bling of them. (not chrome bling but just overall bling)

between gold and white, i think i would go white.

tayles car as white rims, it looks way better than with black rims.

the gold rims on the sti is awesome, but were talking about a corolla here. gold rims on is usually trademark stylez of rex's.

GO WHITE! show off your rims with style.

Went with the white, to be different.

These with tires weight EXACTLY the same as stock Sportivo alloys with tires. 17.8Kg.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      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.
