Gun metal grey.

 

[sweelt]

Just bought a set of used rims, ended up getting Racing Hart CP-S10 size 18x9 but it's in gold color which I think not matching with the yellow of my Evo. So I want to repaint them. Currently the color choices that I have in mind are:
- Darker grey metallic like gun metal
- Lighter grey metallic
- Metallic black
- Solid gloss black
What do guys think which one would be the best match for my yellow car?

dark grey gun metal, matte.

To me Gun metal or Black, but best to test with the rim colours placed at your car wheels, and see from a distance

Not black. Not matte. Gun metal

Then gun metal grey it is!

Got winner dy, but of course final decision is yours.......

Next questions, what's the most recommended value for money for:
-boost meter? The smaller the better. Defi is out of consideration coz expensive.
-turbo timer (my tuner suggested APEXi pen timer but seems not available new anymore for original Japan)
-A/F meter, also the smaller the better. So far only AEM comes to mind.
-boost controller. My tuner suggested Greddy Profec B if not mistaken.

I fitted the turbo timer, but never use for years already. I just slow down and drive normal for last km or two before destination, then off engine, rather then run the turbo timer.......lol

Yeah I do that too for now.

Then gun metal grey it is!

I'm different. And probably weird. I like matte white.

5 days later, jadilah light grey or brown

 

[6UE5t]

Wah too much contrast popping out, bright yellow and white! Lol. Thanks for the suggestion but I sent them for repaint yesterday. White might not match the rest of the theme with the carbon skirting that I'm getting also. White also troublesome with the brake dust, just like my son's Swift.

 

[vr2turbo]

Car white already tough to detail, rims white lagi worse.......lol

1.Boost meter comes in mechanical or electrical ones. I always say buy original. Defi is the gold standard. Avoid APEX'i, got problems, my friends got original ones he bought from N1 Racing.. they warranty 1 unit, same problem then they tell him "it's like that". It's a quirky design issue, his APEXi water temp gauge always stuck, need to knock only jalan. I've got a GReddy electrical boost meter in a box somewhere, if you want can sell it to you at a friendly price. Taken out from my turbo sampan.

2.Turbo timer, I'd get the APEXi one. No need for such a big chunky one.

3.AEM X-series. The only choice. LSU 4.9 sensor, fastest response time. Most of the reviews are comparing the Innovate ones to the old UEGO series.

After installing you probably want to go do a dyno run at a calibrated dyno with wideband reading, and take note of the AEM's reading so you have a baseline and note the variation.

4.Best boost controller is the stock ECU controlling a 3 port boost control solenoid. Who uses a 3 port bcs? Haltech, Motec etc. With it you're able to do boost by gear..and other fancy stuff. I won't go deep into it because i am not a subject matter expert.

I am not familiar with Evo (cannot afford one so never research it) but Subarus use ECUFlash, I heard it can be used for Evo as well

Thx bro, will need to have a read and discuss with my tuner.

I actually have an AEM AF meter kit at home that was never used. Brand new (but old). If you're interested I can sell it to you at a friendly price. No point for me to keep at home cuz I don't have a car yet.

Oh complete with the Bosch LSU 4.9 sensor? I pm you later, thanks.
