Nice... APEC race 6... I looked at getting those in GOLD, I still may yet, though I felt like they weighed a bit. Can you give an indication of the differnece between these and your RJRs?

Cheers

EDIT... Are those 17s or 18s?

funnily enough i thought they would be heavier than the RJRs but i think they might be around the same weight just by feeling both rims without tyres.

when i recieved the wheels the box said 11kgs which was the wheel the box the caps and the packing. so thats not too bad.

there 17" mate

i reckon they will look 1000 times beeter once i get the beast lowered.

pix dont look nearly as good as when up close to the car.

pix dont do them justice.

I have seen these wheel around, nice buy, look good.

Cant help but think 18s would look even fatter though, but weight starts becoming an issue then and they are already reasonably heavy.

I would love to get rid of my 15" pieces of animal faeces in favour of a slick new set of 17" or 18s and low profile tires. Unlucky i dont have 2k to spare at the moment :(

Even facelift Toyota alloys look better than my current mags HAHA.

And yes, even my wheels would look better with the vehicle lowered, just pick up a set of King Springs, super low. As mentioned, they can be acquired with labour for sub 400.

Having had a previous set of 17's, although handling better I prefer the 16's over creature comforts and noise levels, the 17's are too noisy and ride the bumps firmer, but grip better. You gotta comprimise. Nice set of rims btw Eddy, black rims dont suit red cars that much.

Noticed you got maxxis tyres, I'm using them at the moment very impressed with them for the price although there **** in the wet there great in the dry.

I think the current corolla in general leaves a bit to be desired in the wet.

      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!!! :)
