Default Been staring at Jeff's Z pics to much...picked up 17x8.5 Bronze wheels...

with 245/45-17 Proxes 4. Really wanted gold wheels with polished lip but i cannot bring myself to spend huge money (like the lovely SP1 professor wheels). So i picked up some cheapie Rota Slipstreams. I like the fact they are 8.5 width. Seems 255 tires rub on lowered STIs, so i stuck with 245s for when i eventually do a suspension.

Now i just need to resist the need to put a bigger drop in turbo (TDO6-20G) and methanol injection. Ideally i want to wait 2 years before i do that...but a lousy drop in turbo/injectors and fuel pump is worth ~360whp/~380wtq. I am happy that one of the best Subie tuners in the country is here in Chicago, so a custom tune is easy to get.

BTW if anyone wants to buy a big turbo Miata, let me know

BTW anyone here ownes a riced out A4 (big grey audi rings on a silver A4) that did a ricer fly-by on a white STI on Rt 30 near I-55 a couple weeks ago? Lame.

Cheers,
Sameer

I think I'm headed down the Subie road myself. A 20G'd Legacy just sounds so nice!

Default OMG WHO IS THIS?

You should call my a$$ back sometimes! We should have FINISHED TUNING THE MIATA for heavens sake. Perhaps if we gave it more power you wouldn't sell it?

Why don't you come autox tomorrow? I'll show you what that STI can do!
