A lot of tidying up to do with wiring and hoses, plus full fuel system install, built engine and heads, etc. Happened upon a proven engine from Rev Works' drag car "Sonic" so that should be fun.



Storage time next to my brothers stock looking 1100whp trans am bahaha.

Great color combinations on that.

What better way is there to spend lump sums of money and credit card debt on at 2:30 AM?

Disagree, v7-8 sti wheels look great on the car they came on in 2003:

They just don’t look right to me on anything but the two I mentioned. Doesn’t help I think blobeyes are the true ugliest of the GD/GG’s. Ugliest Impreza headlights ever

Couldn't agree more. You don't see them on Version 8s very often which makes the combo even more intriguing.

For sure! I try to seek out the oem+ guys on IG. Most of them are from Japan, some in the UK. Hurst Cars and Ali Burrows have some incredible content for the oem+ guys.

Ugh! I don't check Yahoo Auctions as much as I should when looking for stuff. Shipping is such a drag right now to the US from Japan. Still some great deals to be had though. RS-Zero wheels have been my favorite wheel since their inception.

Agreed on the blobeyes being ugly.

My take on a oem++ wagon, has a full sti driveline and a bunch of random jdm goodness on it but goal was to keep it subtle and stock looking

[Gigs90]

Are those BNR32GTR Skyline wheels ?

They fit great

Years of yahoo auctions and crooober have prepared me for that guess !

[Kochi_STi]

This just in:

LM 090 17x7.5 +48
A little curb rash on 3 of the 4, but not bad at all.

this looks ****ing fantastic.
R-chassis wheels really look perfect on everything.

v7 STi wheels are the best Subaru oem wheel ever.
I bought some this spring because I always wanted them and got a tight deal on them, so I threw them on my outback. looks awkward but they won’t fit my wrx.

Do you use a different bumper cover to be able to drive the car ?

No, I may take it off, I may not... not sure. The reason people use the trim on vinyl wrapped cars is to ensure the widebody panel does not rub through the vinyl on the body of the car itself. So it does serve a specific purpose. It also creates a water barrier.

No, I just got tired of having a stockish looking bumper, so I got this

Me happy now

[Smurftastic]

One more from the other day

[tmnc09]

That's a really cool color. Steel blue?

nah I know that, I was just curious because of its thickness. when I was going to put trim between my rear flare and the body I was going to use early 2010 Tacoma body trim. it was pretty cheap to get OEM and the thinnest I could find that seemed durable enough to do everything it needed.

Love the wheels on there and the meaty tire look! [thumbs up]

[Kochi_STi]

Got some ARP long studs on the way, but couldn’t resist fitting the LMs on. 8mm spacers all the way around.

[07imprezRS]

Beautiful

You know it's odd, it's Vvivid's version of Nardo Gray, which they call Elephant Gray. It has a blue hue to it that makes it look like a weird nardo blue gray in some photos.

It is a sexy trunk.

Haven't done anything to the car in a long time, all my parts have been in storage and no good place to work on it. Excited to get a garage again, so it's almost time to change some things and get it back to it's former glory (damn deer).

Best damn wheels for a bug IMO (Old picture, my zeros are in a box currently):
