    So, last week I picked up some winter rims (thanks eric(k?))... Im trying to decide what annoying color to paint them and in playing around in photo shop last night, I decided on this maybe?

    Anyways....

    Im also thinking of going with Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 RFT for winter rubber.

    Not a bad idea, although it works great as a plow ;)

    Looks like I had it on there pretty good.

    Nothing like a little of natures welding to keep that lip on there good!

    That was custom as well by the way.

    Spotted your car at the Grand Casino on Sunday. Parked next to it, but your car was still there when I left. Crazy choice on the rim color, but it turned out good!

    ^Yeah, thanks! I figured might as well make it as crazy as possible!

    I didnt check my pms untill we had finished eating, sorry about that.

    I think we do this again but maybe get more planning on my part.

    He should also put a big turbo on it, injectors and new fuel system and drive crazy on gravel roads. Otherwise its just a waste of a car :rolleyes:

    He has full tbe now, and his new sti intercooler, agency fuel rails, and gmbcs are going on as soon as i have time to do them... why make comments like this? take your bs elsewhere.


    BIG turbo yes, Rich! I think he will stay with a stock location tho as its his dd. i will certainly try to sway him with a few rides in the yellow wrx tho ;)

    Yes it runs. I need to drain my cell, put a new pre pump fuel filter in, and probably even a new bigger cell. IT DOES NOT COME OUT in bad weather and the closest it comes to snow is when the garage door opens. :laugh: I dont even want to know what the dogbox would be like to drive in COLD weather. :eek3::eek3::eek3::eek3::eek3:

    Im sure you dont mind chris, but ill say sorry anyway. ;)

    What are you accomplishing with this?

    I have been slowly acquiring all the parts for a while now as shown HERE

    Shuoldnt you be worrying more about all four of your cylinders misfiring and not so much what I am doing with my car?

    Although I do appreciate the input, I am already going that route and then some.

    Injectors and rails are ordered and here now, no worries snookums :)

    Turboz will come in the summer my good sir

    Thank you Dustin

    Well, a little update from the other night.... No heat shield is the culprate here. I sure am glad that I had the sti tmic at home in the garage. Lets just call it a little encouragement to get that swapped on. :)

    Heat shields are overrated, they are heavy and add weight :ugh:

    Sorry man, have fun with the intercooler install.

    Quick little update...

    Was a good weekend for my car.
    Removed the KYB struts and Prodrive springs for some KSport Coilovers.
    Removed the mud flaps for the season.
    Reinstalled the front lip.
    Installed a turbo xs 50\50 bov.

    Ill try and get some pics up of the whole ordeal.
