haha my bad. Must be the rims then.

JUST DO IT! you can get a decent set of rims under 2k. Probably less than you are spending on all the other bling. IMO the looks part, looks incomplete which ruins everything else you do.

finish it off properly and you'll be much happier.

Fuel system only makes more power if you also pump more air as well. Not worth doing one without the other.

With the strut tower, be aware some won't fit with certain top mounts. Might be worth checking compatibility before spending cash. + strut towers are mostly for wank factor on GDs.

Screaming out for rims! Desperately!! Speak to Wei at Vision R. He's local and has stock.
Rota's for $999, that's pretty affordable!

There are a couple of 19" rota's available... Grid's being the best choice IMO! Not sure what's available in 5x100 though!?

I just prefer bigger wheels then 18's as they won't look much bigger then the stock so I'd prefer 19" and I like grids but prefer the dPt fighter

you said on the last page that you needed to change the radiator.

The only reason at this stage to change it is cause its damaged. I see no reason why it would be so please dont waste money changing it.

19s will mean a heavier wheel and more unsprung weight the suspension has to carry. Your car will handle worse and really isnt a 'performance' modification. If you want your car to drive worse than OEM then go for it!!

With a body kit, you really need the big rims to pull it off. While 18's will ride, handle and perform better, they won't suit the rest of the build IMO.

Go the 19's like you want to. Great thinking.

Instead of the radiator... perhaps a process west V mount while you can? cross both the intercooler and the radiator off your list in one hit :P

radiator has a slight leak and i figured would be a good investment to swap oem for a kayo before it explodes or something
