PPF in progress. At some point i need to do some paint correction work and PPF the rest of the car and not just the carbon fiber bits like i'm doing now
Have quite a bit of work planned this coming week.
First of all, getting some PPF work done for the carbon fiber parts. Wing, splitter and mirror caps.
After that going to install a Wagner intake manifold. Really excited about that one.
Have some Paragon 2 piece rotors on the way
Finally...
Haven't been to th track since doing the sway bars, camber plates and alignment last week. But I did get to throw the car around a bit aggressively in a empty area and oof...what a difference the parts and the aggressive alignment make. Can't wait to track it
Traveling for a few days for work...
As far as look go, of course. But i think it's fair to question how functional that wing really is considering it comes from a company that makes these:
Of course not everybody cares about having a functional wing, and there's nothing wrong with that. That's also preference
That's what you get a quick release for, no?
I've got it all figured out. Driving down the highway with my 330mm wheel. Need to look at my gauges. Oh no can't see! Pop the wheel off. Hold the revs steady so I don't accidentally impale myself. Check. Pop the wheel back in.
Was not expecting that
I find the OEM wheels to be just a bit big. So I guess that 330mm wheel I've been eying online might not be as small as I thought it would be.
Still want to wrap my hands around one first, but still this is good to know
Does anybody know the size of the OEM steering wheel? I could not for the life of me find that info anywhere online.
Trying to vidsualize how much smaller a 350mm or 330mm wheel would be
A lot happened int he past couple of days...
these beautiful camber and caster plates went on
So did these front and rear sway bars and tie rod ends
And of course finally got the damn alignment!
tbh i haven't even taken my wheel width into consideration. a 295/30/18 would fit very nicely on a 10.5" wheel, no? The recommended min/max wheel width for that tire size is 10/11.
The way i was going about this was thinking about the power (will be running OEM turbo for now, E30, so around...
I have some time to decide before my square (18x10.5) wheels arrive in June, but i can't figure out if i want to go with 295s or start with 275s and see how that feels before adding more rubber.
Intake noises installed
Also filled up some ethanol. our stations don't carry ethanol here, so we just store these canisters. Will be running E30 (possibly up to E40)
Dropped the car off for an alignment. They uploaded this video, so obviously i stole it
So cool. They have a few evo shop cars, and one of the them is Tommi Makkinen. That one just feels special.
I almost got an evo back in 2010. Ended up picking up a Subaru because i told myself i'd eventually get an evo anyway. Nope, fell in love with the STI and ended up getting 3.
Here's...
Oh man you really have no idea. These guys make some of the fastest Evos and Subarus on the planet. You'll find ridiculous bling in their workshop at any point in time.
Look at this Yaris GR with the Martini livery. Martini livery = my all time favorite. Sorry i know it's not in English, but...
