tyres are sorted for 2013
225/45/17's x a few

and a smaller suede steering wheel was a must

yes its fake carbon and yes i will be stripping it off

got a set of yoko's fitted to the team dynamic white wheels today and had a test fit, well they fit but i need to raise the coilovers up a bit as they are bloody close, looks good but they will rub
anyway threads look pretty good but tying to budge them i cracked a spring mount

a phone call to tein and now have a set of new platforms on the way, bit of hassle as i now need to take them off and strip them down, but should be all nice and free afterwards

Those tyres are just being greedy

The always make such an understated impact on a car to me. Proper sports tyres on a car like an Impreza go un-noticed by 99% of the public by to petrolheads they are something special.

Anyway.........nice hoops and nice steering wheel too, you fake carbon loving tyre whore

i'l let you know soon, i never had a problem running r888's in fact i found them pretty bloody good in the wet, standing water is to be avoided though

i went over to mike's yesterday to drop his tyres off and be nosey and got the idea of putting the boost gauge in the centre air vent, anyway this afternoon i thought id get busy for an hour

and fitted

i also nicked the quaife gear knob from jaffa to see if it fits
and hey presto

car is still running like a bag of shit, which i think is coilpacks
i bought a set of 4 on ebay recently but when i opened them up and inspected them they are knackered and i mean proper knackered just from vision
one of them even has a cut down threaded bolt put in the bottom instead of the springy bit and wrapped with electrical tape, another has a whopping great crack in it
told the seller this and he claims they are perfect , unreal anyway i'v opened a case so hopefully will get resolved, even with him saying i am planning to send mine back to him and keeping these, some people eh
i mean just look at the state of these

also fitted a set of a048 tyres on the white team dynamic wheels which are et40 and fuck me they sit pretty flush to the arch, look the tits but will rub like a bitch as i had 40 profiles on it previous, so needed to raise the teins, disaster stuck when i cracked a spring seat adjuster even using the correct tool, bugger
so a call to tein and they are sending out some sniney new ones, so suspension off again

i'l get there in the end
