Hi Guys,
Would like a little advice on this,
Currently sat on 17inch standard wheels with huge enough wheel gaps to fit my head in.
So I am wondering If I stepped them up to 18inch wheels and then lowered the car a tad bit (or vise versa preferably) would this reduce the wheel gap without actually reducing the car height so I wont be terrified of speed bumps? or am I thinking this wrong, and the 18 inch wheels (alone) wouldn't increase car height but would reduce wheel gap?

I do somewhat agree, I kinda got used to it but during the first month it was suffering haha

Hi, I thought I should do a quick write up about this so others with the same exhaust, or similar problem have some guidance from my experience.
Nvidia N1 and some other exhausts suffer from a lot of bad drone around 3k RPM, but other than that it sounds too sweet for me to replace so I've tried some fixes for it and here are the two which seem to have somewhat worked for me.
The first thing I did was do some sound deadening around the car boot, this did not so much in terms of reducing drone but it reduced vibration of the metal so it made the car more pleasant. I have not fully sound deadening the boot though as it adds unnecessary weight in my opinion, therefore I have used 3-4 sheets on the top of the boot and this is enough to deaden most vibrations.
The whole boot does not need to be covered for it to be effective. The sheets I used were Silentcoat 2mm.
Further, placed two sheets on the panel underneath of the boot, this looks like a silver curved sheet of metal right behind the 3rd brake light. If anything knocked or touched it, this panel made a sound as if it was a hollow barrel. So by cleaning this panel, and placing two sound deadening sheets, this for me reduced the drone, not by a lot but it did have a noticeable effect.
Lastly, the one modification which made a huge difference for me is the HKS Duel Resonated Front pipe. Replacing the oem from pipe with this seems to have reduced the drone drastically. Mind you, the exhaust is still on the loud side, but the heavy drone around the 3k RPM on the Nvidia N1 for me is more than manageable. I highly recommend this particular modification if you do suffer from droning in the car.
From my research, another modification which I have not yet done, is adding a Heimholtz chamber to the exhaust, however I have not yet decided which part of the exhaust I should put this on. But would most likely do this after a Manifold upgrade in order to reduce the overall noise.
Thanks for reading,
Hopefully it helps

2 hours ago, spikyone said:Toyota's eBay shop sells the studs, they're about £6-7 each from memory - and yes, they are individual studs. eBay is their official online parts shop. Nuts shouldn't be hard to come by either.
Is this it?

Agreed, but it's a good point raised.
I would think the studs are independent, I'm not too sure as I haven't actually looked behind the hub...
Can someone confirm?

54 minutes ago, Church said:I wouldn't call it no problem running wheel with one nut missing. I'd think of it as driving with spacesaver tire. For not more then few days at most and very lightly, not speeding much, not much side loads, with extra care driving around road holes & speed bumps and such, regularly checking how other lugnuts hold. I have no statistical data, how well lesser amount of nuts will hold, but wouldn't feel myself safe driving without any precautions if not having properly secured all of them.
That's something I will bare in mind, it's true the other bolts will have more tension on them.
Will probably look to replace them all on the hub.

That's a cracking idea, didn't even think places like that would exist!
If not that then I'll be heading to Toyota Macclesfield.

Perfect 👌, thanks for the responses! Now I know what I am looking for,
I guess it shouldn't be a problem running the wheel with only 1 nut missing.

M.12 1.25 subaru size, cool,
I'm not 100% on what I'm actually looking to get but is this along the right lines?
I'll have a chat with local sub/toy dealership too

Yes Kevin, but I am trying to find 2.5 inch, I should have clarified in post though

Hi,
Wondering if anyone knows a retailer selling a 2.5 inch frontpipe with Helmholtz in the UK? Or perhaps someone who might be able to weld one on a front pipe in the west Midlands

I'm interested in the catback + diffuser, let's work some details out if it's available pm
SuperChips remap?

I think you would be much better off with a custom tune with ECUtek. Or the very least consider an OFT
