The TS-5s got installed, finally. They're sitting on some PS4Ses -- 265/35/19 up front and 295/35/19 in the rear.
I also replaced the A91 vinyls with a carbon fiber vinyl set from ftspeed. The fitment is far better. Also blacked out the reflectors, also with vinyls from ftspeed.
The car is...
Kinda depends on location -- I've scraped at random places at stock ride height. Can't wait to see what happens once I'm lowered and toss on the Maxton lip as well.
Agreed, weight and maintenance are my reasons for an air setup on my car. It does look and sound cool on others' cars.
I've got Endless MX72s + RF650 going on next week along with a boatload of handling components. I'll let you know how they feel after break-in later next week. I got them since the M2 folks and GTR folks gave it positive recommendations on their forums.
The brake pad set was in the ballpark of...
You might want to get tires suitable for your expected output with the pure850 rather than get tires for your current intermediate setup, for cost savings.
I'll second everyone else, you might as well wait for the turbo, get everything installed at once, and go for one tune. Less downtime, and...
Hey guys, I've been keeping my eye out for for a dual exit valved titanium catback setup that still uses the valves.
I want the dual exit since I prefer the symmetry of it
Valves are a must. A lot of nearby cities are ticketing loud exhausts, so I don't want to attract even more attention when...
If you're still using stock tires, I'd definitely recommend switching to another set that can better put down 450whp. Saying you make 450whp on paper is great, but not that meaningful if your tires can't handle any of it.
Also, if you want a fast car, you could always look at at the weight side...
I live in Seattle, but am in Bellevue a lot for groceries, gas, meeting friends to cruise with, etc. Lots of nice cars driving around for sure, especially downtown. Do watch the pops and bangs, Bellevue police are fining people for loud exhausts.
I don't have these, so I don't have firsthand experience with it.
I considered these pads when looking for pads that more or less see street work with 1-2 track days a year.
The reviews across multiple forums (WRX, Porsche, bimmerpost, etc.) was very mixed. Some love it, but others say it's...
Sorry for the low quality pics -- got the TS-5s finally installed on the 265 & 295 PS4Ss. Got some nice M valve caps as well. Gonna take it out for a quick drive later to get the TPMS recalibrated, and hopefully I can grab some better pictures then.
My butt dyno feels like the car is slightly...
