does being a member here allow us to get discount at envyperformance.

Envy's prices are pretty competative. Personally I would go to Ibrar... but anyway.
There are two schools of owners, those that like bling and those that hate it. 19's don't help the handling/performance/comfort of the car in any way shape or form so are thrown into the bling catagory. That is why you could start a whole new thread/argument about what size wheels to go for. I'm starting to get an idea that you indeed like shiney things so expect the non bling people to advise you towards the "light" http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/n...cons/smile.gif

Unfortunately they don't.

But take a look through the discounts page (HERE) some of the suppliers listed do give discounts off wheels, ie. Racelogic off the Blitz wheels

Ibrar whos that. I def dont want to effect performance, so 18's are fine by me. I really like the blitz alloys but they are so expensive.

Martin F 12th July 2004 07:41 PM

If you don't want to affect performance they you best go for 17" wheels. http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/n...ns/biggrin.gif

Ibrar runs www.pro-alloys.co.uk

B6AVE 12th July 2004 08:42 PM

are 17s the best for performance and handling then.

Speaking of opening cans of worms an all....

I fitted a TRD panel filter and didn't notice any difference, I heard the stock intake was good for 500bhp+ I'm with the chief on the hot air http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/n...ns/biggrin.gif

If you haven't already bought one, skip the filter upgrade and go for the TRL FCD, they're about the same price as the filter and allow you to raise your boost above the fuel cut. One of the guys on here will know someone who can fit it for you, C.W did mine with a bleed valve conversion and we raised the boost to about 1.15 bar. The final result was excellent, and to be honest, it is probably in the same region price wise as buying a brand new Apexi induction kit/hoses and having that fitted. You need to decat first or your exhaust temperatures will rocket running higher boost.

Good luck

Ive already ordered the filter, should arrive soon. Does anyone know if and how much extra bhp the blitz filter will get me. Yeah im very interested in a turbo boost. Ive seen a blitz one that I like. I really need to get some wheels and then an exhaust first. How much did it cost to fit your trl fcd

alex h 13th July 2004 09:14 PM

Boost pressure gives you HP...not a panel filter. Forget what you read about them giving you more HP it's bollox http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/n...cons/smile.gif But they look nice lol

Martin F 13th July 2004 09:29 PM

It may give you a little more HP as its a bit more free flowing than stock, even more so if your stock one was a bit old.

But we are really talking in the realm of 1 or 2 more horsies
