So got the new wheels and tires on the car today and boy are these wide. The front is what's really concerning me right now. I haven't gone for an alignment yet since i'm still waiting for my backordered Konis so I've got maybe -0.5 camber up front. It's hella flush with the fender if not slightly over but with stock ride height, there's room to dip under braking. I don't know if I should run with these wheels this weekend or put back the stockies for now until I get my alignment. The rears are perfect though. The wheels come with a tag of their exact weight from OZ along with the person who actually weighed it....each wheel is 15.4lbs.

My intake arrived as well. Hopefully I can get it installed tonight or tomorrow so I can just chill in time for Saturday.

Finally got a chance to autocross her yesterday. I sucked pretty badly but oh well, I'm still trying to reprogram my brain...

New exhaust is in...GReddy/GoTuning Spectrum Elite Single....it certainly feels better than stock but that's probably partly psychological because it sounds so freaking mean...but supposedly it only goes to 94dB so I should be good to go at most events without worrying about breaking sound restrictions.

old stock crap...



new sexy exhaust (I lost around 30lbs going from the stock dual steel to a single stainless steel)....

low key from the rear


badass from the side

for sure. put the car together then bring it by for a nice detail to freshen up the paint & possibly interior...if it needs cleaning.
