Those wheels should look pretty sweet Tom....Have you checked out subydude to see if there are any pics of a black 02' with the wheels?

 

NO i aint , thanks though, il go check now.... what tires you recon are best to run on those things... size wise.... ???

 

dunno, i'm guessing its gonna depend on what type of driving you want to do....someone should be able to give a little more info on that......i think there may be a tire breakdown on subydude as well...

 

tire wise. I'd check out tirerack.com and just browse around.

Get some 225/45/17's. I'd have to look around but you might be able to get 235's on those wheels and if you can I'd do that. but the 225 is pretty much the standard for our cars.

I'd say that getting a strictly summer performance tire would be the funnest but if you want something that will last a while and still handle well in the rain on 17 and what not I'd go with either the TOYO Proxe 4 or the Perelli Pzero nero. Those are the two best all season tires that I've seen that actually still handle somewhat decent. My next tire will be the TOYO my buddy runs the pzero year round and loves it....and I drove mt.hammy behind him.....he smoked a LOT of people. those are my two recommendations. You could get the TOYO's for like $450 and they'll last you a long time.

If you want tires I might be able to talk to my buddy in fremont and see what he can do for us.




The exhaust is cool and what not. but I'd seriously say sell your BOV. use the cash on a nice rear sway bar. Buy some rear endlinks. With just the sway bar and the new tires you'll be BLOWN away by how much better the car handles and how much funner it is to drive. And if you'd like, I'll hold my springs for you when they come off. JDM. Spec C springs. Killer spring. I'll sell them pretty cheap too.

exhaust wise....I'd take a look at the crucial racing cat black. NICE. should be out pretty soon.

 

I would be down to join in on that too if its cool, I need me some all-seasons...

 

Yeah thta'd be great, i will probably get some all seasons, i think it will work out cheaper in the long run..... Yeah will look to sell the bov, im gonna go with the magnaflow, from what ive seen it looks pretty good.... hopefuly all will be ok, if not im ****ed lol

 

bah forget the all seasons and just go with summer tires hey ray i think its gonna be a while till i get the hood fixed so ill try to make it look clean

 

bah all you need is a couple shop towels for padding and vise-grips to bend that baby out lol

 

lol dunno bout the vise grips,rubber mallet would be fine

 

you bring it, i'll swing it on wednesday

 

evodadi...haaaa. yeah...we should at least straighten it out and touch it up. oh and dude. had an interview today. went pretty well...I'll be keepin my fingers crossed. If I get it I'll be back to putting money into the car by mid/end july..WOOT!!!


magnaflow makes good stuff. Don't see it on subies much but they sound good and are built well. I'd suggest looking at borla. It's quiet and built to last 100k warranty. You can get them local for pretty good pricing and I'll help you install it if you need it. borla. APS. Stromung. Crucial. Probably the best for quality and quiet right now.


I'll call my buddy early next week and see how much it would run me to get 8 Proxe 4's.

 

lol ok bowen ill definitely try and remember not to hand you the mallet first


that sounds good ray job=mod money!!

 

Hee Hee, yeah thats probably a good idea marcel...Sweet...I'd need the WRX OE size

 

cool. I'll just tell him they're both for me. you'll have to get them mounted...
you want oe size or 225's for the oe rims?

I'm getting some 215 dedicated snow tires for my oe wheels.

 

i'm clueless when it comes to tires, i have 205/55/16's on now....what would be the advan/difs to getting 225?
