Meh, I've been alright...yourself? My new Tein Flex's arrived yesterday, so I'm way stoked about that. What kinda wheels have you decided you're getting?

[Bishop]

Congrats on the coils... OEM BBS for now, probably for a while.... wanna get the turbo outta the way, do some brake work, then do coils, wheels, tires... all that at once... im happy w/ the OEM BBS for now
I have been lookin local though for someone to trade w/ (i want gold) but not much luck... maybe i'll just paint em though

[Rewind]

Hell yeah man, black on gold is the best combo! have you seen my new rims? if not check out my journal...

[Bishop]

The Enkeis? i think those are what you had last time i saw... i'll check in a sec

EDIT: I saw your post in "check out my wheels" sticky and they are the Enkeis i thought they were. They look cool, and i know Enkei isn't one of the more expensive brands, but im not a fan of how short the spokes are and how large the lip looks. I have been considering buying some cheap-ish wheels to change the look.... but i'll most likely wait until i work on the suspension and do the wheels i really want then....

How you likin this weather..... 70somethin yesterday..... snow is PILING up now.... at least where i am

+1 on importimageonline. i always hit him on AOL/AIM his screen name is Importimagerace and he hooks it up pretty good.

those pics are good!! Colorado is a beautiful state, i wouldnt mind living there. I actually set Colorado as one of the 10 places i would like to be transferred to if i get the air traffic controller job!

yeah, that would be my guess.

Yeah this is a really cool place... mostly depending on what part of the state you live IMO.... the weather is weird all over the state though... like i said above, was like 76 yesterday, was 39 and dropping when i left work today (3:30) and starting to snow.... i'd guess maybe .5" accumulation of snow so far.... supposed to be cleared up tomorrow and sunny for a few days after that..... really really far out weather... and go figure i put the OEM tires back on like a month or 2 ago hoping it would stay somewhat nice and we've had a few snow storms since....

Also, on another topic..... end result for my car i would PROBABLY like a 35R on a somewhat built motor, just throwin that out there.... from what i read, the engine's breaking point is right around 400whp depending on the tune and driving style.... with this in mind, i picked the 30R but have since been thinking more that i KNOW i'll MOST LIKELY be wanting to go larger..... I'm pretty sure Modaddict has been running his 35R on OEM motor and drivetrain, althought i think he upgraded the clutch since then... The price is the same for the 30R and 35R last time i saw, so im just kinda thinking aloud.....

I dont really know what i would like for final HP numbers, but since my original plan for near 400whp would warrant some upgraded internals, would it also warrant a 35R... if so what would i need to upgrade internally for the turbo?
^^ I'll do some research on this topic later, but i gotta finish my homework before i go to class tonight

If you do come out we'll have to hold a warm welcome for ya.... I'm pretty sure Boulder is one of the largest, if not THE Subaru mecca..... there are SO many here, and awdpirates.com is FULL of subys

Yep, those Enkei's. Yeah, not too expensive is why I bought those, I can't justify spending loads of money on rims plus they're strong as $hit. I'll, agree with you on the lip, it is quite large but I think it fits the car well, especially once I drop it a little bit.
Man o man is this little snow storm pissing me off. My winter set of wheels is already in the attic, but I don't worry cuz normally this April snow never sticks to the streets...just as it didn't do tonight

IIRC.. and someone will chim ein if i am wrong... the pistons are the weak point in the engine. the rods are supposed to be good for like 450-500ish.
this is all from what i remember reading. so i am sure others (with real mods) will chime in!!

but i am whoring out the fact that i got back my test scores for my FAA air traffic control test!! i posted the result in my journal! stop by and pollute if you'd like!!
