+38 is not always perfectly flush

My rims are +42 and they look "perfecty flush" also, it all depends on drop and alignment. With an adapter those will fit

Camber till they fit haha and they won't go on till spring with coilovers and lower control arms if needed

Regina wheel works, Saskatoon wheel works or kelvins in saskatoon. All three are good.

Great guys, owner is a racer (lotus guy) very helpful

[SkevoX]

Sweet I want to do as much of the refund myself so I'll see if he is cool with me just bringing in the lip to get it fixed. Also want to keep my costs down

[Jlturner]

Well they sure don't make these lips exactly easy to install! I've been tugging and bending this thing to line up and fit properly for about an hour. No matter what I seem to do there is always a gap between the bumper and the lip somewhere. Any one have any suggestions on installing lips?

Here is a little teaser pic



I also tried the red VHT night shades on my taillights, i'm not overly happy with the results and plan to rub it off and get them done properly.

[JPxM0Dz]

Wow the lip looks like it lines up nicely with bumper in the second pic
Wish I could help, but you know, BRZ

It looks good at that angle, I have masking tape holding it on right now trying to line it up before I commit to drilling. Think I'm going to try the heat gun and see if that helps align it.

Strongly contemplating turning my frs full project mode. Going to be restoring and finishing my Forester with a STi front end and motor swap, should be done well before the snow melts and will be my daily driver. And due to jobs working out I can afford to take a bank loan to help with my frs, currently thinking v2 Rocket Bunny (will do all the work myself and will be qualified to do so), a fbm turbo kit either stage 1 premium or stage 2, custom hood (resembles the seibon dv and will be done by myself after our metal working course), carbon hydrodipped interior with red trim accent lines, and 19x10.5 work emotion DR9 in black.
Any thoughts or input on the plan?

Edit: Not full v2 rb, just the fenders, front bumper, sideskirts, and daylight running lights. Maybe the diffuser. But that plus free cost of paint and be qualified to do it myself is what makes it even a possibility to consider otherwise I wouldn't

Also I convinced a buddy of mine to buy a BRZ next spring instead of a 2015 STI since he already had a Forester XT and he wants me to put a Aimgain widebody on the car when he gets it. So there could be two eidebody 86's rolling around regina next year and oddly will be on the same driveway since we're roomates!

Sounds like a fun project! Be prepared that stage 1 premium and stage 2.. you will need to run e85 and a built motor. Just a little heads up. Unless u wanna spend the money for 7 lbs of boost. Maybe 8..

That is something I didnt think about, they are massive turbos (stage 1 has a GTX30R and stg 2 is GTX35R) and on e85 the stg 2 can get 600whp tuned properly just the kit and a cluthc, apparently really reliably too. I always run 94, my goal is 450whp, would a good tune for 94 and that kit make the goal possible?

Also I tried looking around many times but cant seem to find a good clutch rated for 450whp, anyone heard of any?

[whiteaozora]

Most clutches are rated in torque. Watch out if you are running ethanol. Will have to let justin or LJ know when buying. Even on my upgraded stage 1 I will need to replace springs. Maybe even piston heads to lower compression. 450 is a lot. I would say make ur goal like 350.. 300 forsure is possible
