Those wheels are hot. IF they dont work well for the car, I will take em off your hands.haha....if they don't work, I plan to make them work!
I like to change up wheels yearly tho, so if you are still interested end of the year, we can talk! -
Those rotas are gonna blow up on you for getting knock off wheels....
Just kidding, things look great and that should be a fun car.
-
Got some tires for the Rota's along with some Rays lug nuts, so I will do some fender rolling tonight (thanks Colin).
Also go in some uber rare Prodrive floor mats for the GC chassis...Look pimp
NRG Grounding kits are back in stock, and I have one set aside for the RS
And to finish off my ordering, I got some Tanabe Pro SS Coilovers on the way! WOOT
Motor is going in this weekend!
-
Wow, wow, wow, and did I say WOW!
-
Well the games have begun.
7 hours of work thus far from Shane and I...and Chuck helped a bit to (cheap labor, each screw he removed he got 5 chips)
Laske is coming over tomorrow to notch the crossmember and weld the flap on the turbo shut....
Here is some progress:
Such a great day!

Hehe....the joke is on you...I took 6 chips a couple of times BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH

No comeback Chuck?
Just know I was completely joking.Well great news. The motor runs! Turned the key and only had to hold it about 3 seconds and she fires right up. Only 2 CEL's, and both are related to the fact that we didn't have the intercooler on or the boost control solenoid hooked up (still have to route wires, so these were intentionally left unhooked). Tomorrow will bring the rest of the install (minor items), DEFI's, coilovers, and reinstallation of the interior (eek!). Then 500 miles of breaking in a clutch....THAT is gonna suck!
Soon to hit the streets, the coupe WRS. WOOT :icon_cheers:
-
looks good, seems like you got a shop full of subarus again too!
-
Bah fuck clutch break in.
Looks lovely, just gotta get that thing buffed.
