Yeah Kirill had mentioned you picked them up. It sucks we got screwed and got no center caps. I'm having him inquire with Prodrive to see what's up. Hopefully I can snag some at a discounted price or hopefully for free.

Your car looks great, you should come back over for the open house on the 9th.

It was nice to meet you and your dog

Hey Will--It was nice to meet you. I'll be looking forward to seeing where your car goes. Those Enkeis you have look wonderful on the black. I tell ya, CBRD is absolutely amazing! I was just in awe at all the cool stuff they had there. Scully (the pooch) was traumatized but she slept all the way home and then more after she chowed down. I have some cell phone pics I'm going to add up tomorrow from the visit. The open house sounds like a good idea but there's no way I'm driving 422 and 222 to get there. Those roads are full of evil traffic at all hours it seems.

I'm down, let's do this! I'll start up a thread tomorrow, I'm just too tired to do anything more tonight. Btw, I inquired about blue batmobile overlays for my car. I'm going to give the dark red tails a try w/ the cutout for reverse and yellow fog overlays. Just waiting to hear back from Mr. Batmobile.

why the stretched tires? it looks like you have plenty of clearance.

Well, they're my stock tires. I considered selling them and getting a proper size but I already had them, and I figured I'll just use them up. I plan on driving like a hooligan to wear down the tread to force myself into a set of 275/35 maybe Rears will need to be rolled for that though.

Thanks man. I debated which wheels to go with all winter. When this deal came along I couldn't pass it up.

Also I took my friend out in "the egg" this evening with the new set up. Obviously I need an alignment as I have a slight pull to the right but the bushings have made an ENOURMOUS increase in steering input. This reminds me of my Leggy 2.5GT when I installed Fulcrum SuperPro LCA bushings. I guess the rack bushings were decent on the Legacy. In any case, I did some twisty driving at night and we were had a blast. I'm so glad my squishy winter tires are off. Stiff sidewalls make me so happy. Oh so happy.

Look for some CBRD pics tomorrow. I'm going to do a wash tomorrow and a little photoshoot with my friend and his 05 S4. He recently picked up some BBS CH's and is getting coilovers installed on Tuesday. Needless to say we're going to have a fun spring/summer.

What's up Prodrive bro! The new setup looks killer on your GR. I'm so jealous you have your wheels mounted up.

Pictars of today's festivities. Incoming massive whoreage. First post is just my car, second post is my buddy's S4. Third post is ours together.

Our day started by doing a thorough clean job on the cars. I didn't scrub down the exhaust yet, but it's on my list. I also need to visit a touchless car wash to get my car's lower naughty bits washed since it's all stick with coolant from the radiator fiasco.

His setup is 19x8.5 on HTRZIII, I want to say 245/30/19 w/ stock suspension for now but Tuesday we're driving down to AWE and they're installing H&R Coilovers. Hopefully while there he's going to hear an exhaust that he's interested in, as that will most likely be the next upgrade on his beast.

After my amateur photography skills were applied to our cars we went on a nice hour-ish ride through some back roads, stopped @ Cabelas and then headed back. Good stuff!
