Corolla_Kid Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 hmm speedos are tricky I'm pretty sure mine is out so i just go by the tacho now which isnt very reliable but its all i have. The speedo might be right just the car feels slower or faster than the appropriate speed but follow someone with an accurate speedo and then you will know. Also when the gold wheels go on it might get put out by the larger size rolling diameter. Quote
Ke50 Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Posted December 15, 2005 yea, i was thinking of doing that sort of test. the gold wheels were on it when i bought the car, although i didnt drive it much in that form (basically undriveable). so it might have been re-calibrated for those wheels? I'm not sure. ill find out somehow. Quote
Super Jamie Posted December 15, 2005 Report Posted December 15, 2005 that is an amusing exhaust, it's like a pisstake on people who put modern exhausts on old cars. i quite like it Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted December 19, 2005 Report Posted December 19, 2005 What size are the gold wheels?? Â I now have 17's on my corolla, and the rolling diameter of them (even with low profile tyres) is quite a bit larger than the stockies, and it makes little if no noticable difference on my speedo. Â I think it's in you're imagination. Quote
Ke50 Posted December 19, 2005 Author Report Posted December 19, 2005 i think ill just have to measure it against another car. but i can't now because ive taken the gauges out :D stupid fuel gauge! Quote
Ke50 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Posted January 4, 2006 i gave it a wash today and degrease the engine bay a bit. looks soo much better when its washed :D i want the gold wheels :y: Â Â Â Â Quote

Ke50 Posted January 14, 2006 Author Report Posted January 14, 2006 hehe the wheels make the stance look much cooler. even a bit lower me thinks. should i put the center caps on the back as well? Quote
