Re: finally got the wheels on...
amazing wheels and more amazing ride, love the Supra. did you make any other changes to the car?
Re: finally got the wheels on...
Its actually a subaru impreza wrx... i have done a lil to it. raised boost, sti air filter, HKS full stainless 3" exhaust from turbo back, inc group a front pipe, front and rear STI series one strut braces, lower crossmember bracing, gab shocks, rs-r superlow springs, sabelt racing harness, short shifter, custom made uds turbo dump valve, aluminium front panels/hood to save weight...
its pretty light (under 1220kg) and its got a fair amout of power. Im not sure how much tho...
next mod is to do a brake upgrade. :)

haha hardly! i forgot to mention that i was running trust/GREX aramid fiber pads on there, and they, my friend, are the fucking business.
the brake upgrade is purely cosmetic really lol - the standard discs just look so small on the car now... but they are more than up to the task :P

Re: finally got the wheels on...
hey! it happens to me all the time :p
Re:
Love the WRX!
Re: finally got the wheels on...
looking good pipey !!! those tires kinda suck tho, pretty small meat for a wheel that size, better not get them bent !! looking forward for some better pics cheers
Re: finally got the wheels on...
gah!!!! so last night i was fucking around with the car cos it has been overheating.... turns out that my waterpump is fucked and theres more oil leaking out of my engine than the deepwater horizon.
engine now has to come out and money has to be spent... gah.
and those were the only size i can run... 215.35.18 - without rubbing or throwing out the speedo
Re:
Curious if you think that "raising the boost" might have something to do with the water pump failing & the oil leak? Sometimes upgrades can do more harm than good.
Re: finally got the wheels on...
nah, theres nothing like that, the engine has done 200000ks and the cooling system was neglected by me. my own fault. it got rust in the water.... and the oil leaks are the same place as all subarus get them in, rocker covers, cam seals... etc... same old shit. just an old tired engine.
but it will be sweet! i have a friend who can fix it so...
Re: finally got the wheels on...
Yo pipey. Hope you got your mechanical issues fixed. I recently joined the Subaru family. Bought a '03 STI.

cheers mate!
Re: finally got the wheels on...
Out of curiosity how do these cars match up against stock BMW's?
Re: finally got the wheels on...
Performance wise they are neck and neck with an M3 from the same year and with a couple thousand dollars you will be around 280-320hp which is around the same as the previous generation M3s. However in the comfort department hey are like a 70s bimmer lol.
They got close to zero sound deadening material and you can feel all the transmission and driveline components grinding with eachother. Its like a rally car made for the street. They are not for everyone imo.
Re: finally got the wheels on...
my wifes brother has one... i had no idea they could keep up with the m3, thats really impressive.
