This is a super random question.

My friend just bought a 2015 STi. He's trying to get a set of track wheels. Do you know which spec of 17inch wheels would clear the STi Brembos? Thought you might know! haha Thanks.

Cars looking great, man.

Congrats on reaching a "finish line" for your car! Your build has always been my inspiration and hopefully I can afford some of the fancy parts you installed on yours. :3

Just when I thought I was out they pulled me back in! With the 2015 tS release, I proceeded to order the v-bars from the car:



It appears to replace the strut bar originally released from the STi Performance catalog but I don't see any detrimental effects to just adding it to the car together (all bolts and everything required are accessible do theres no interference between the two cars); at the same time, I don't expect there to be much of an additional benefit from running it, but who knows its worth a try.

Now just contemplating whether I'd want to add some of the new exterior features from the revised car. I think the stripes, back and front, work very well on a white car but still unsure how it looks on WRB. The pictures I've seen don't seem to look too well, but at the same time, its on the newer 07X shade of WRB, so maybe on my older 02C the contrast works better. In any case, those seem to be the only parts I'd be interested in (besides the obvious Recaros); some people have asked me whether I'd be willing to switch to the Bilstein set up...I'm reserving my decision until I have the system on my WRX as I don't see it being too much on an upgrade given the cost.

Gave the car a kick today courtesy of @DeliciousTuning. Special thanks to @sales@delicioustuning.com for installing the flex fuel kit and tuning the car to run on E85. Feels so good that now I'm waiting to get it into my WRX :P

I love this wallpaper, but I was wondering if you would be able to make a series.blue version with blue stitching? I have no such ability.

V bars from the 2015 tS are in. Modding never ends I guess

That moment when you just say "fuck it let's do this" and drop 3k for parts. Stay tuned for incoming (although from what I ordered it may take a while). I think I should block Japanparts from my browser lol

Modding is a dangerous rabbit hole. But your cars are so clean. Love your pictures.
