Do you have coilovers? or are you still on the stock strut? I have the same wheels except they arent the SP spec. With that much tire on the wheel you might need a 5mm spacer in front if you're still on stock struts, if you're on coils you're all good :D

He noted that he had megan coilovers -_-' Lol

you're correct. I must've skipped right past it lol..


You should be good OP! :thumbsup:

As tires go I honestly don't really have a preference on where to get tires. I just google the tires I want in the size I want and cross shop from there. I think most of the time Tirerack will show up though.

The SP spec's are definitely lighter than the normal ones, but are more expensive. I love my 57xtremes and think the red rays center cap is what makes it worth it lol. The wheels are such a work of art and flow with the car nicely. I get plenty of compliments on them as well!:D

Whats that Subaru VIP badge on the back?

I've heard that 265/35 will rub on these wheels, even on coils... will be following your build!

rub the fenders or the perch? Fenders is correctable by adding camber. But I agree that 265 is quite a bit of tire for this car and 255/35 would work better:thumbsup:

The plastic lining in the fenders... also something about the side marker as well. even 255 I thought I say someone post in the rays 57xtreme 18X9.5 +40 thread saying that it rubbed. I guess it might depend on how low you go though.

Thanks for the shoutout man!! Check your PM. Your intake is on the way and will be at your place tomorrow!

So you said a stage 2 tune is coming but typically stage 2 means a header (at least) as well. Do you have a header plan?

You're the dude who went with 265's all the way around right? How is it?!

I'm fairly certain this bumper is smiling.

Probably because of the awesome vehicle it gets to lead.

Umm, did it just wink at me?

I'm enjoying following your mod blog. Thanks! :)

Really enjoying this build. Nice work!

Any thought to custom paint the rear spats and side skirt to color match the body, but leave the lower lip component black?

I cleaned up my Thread, Hope you've Enjoyed.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN.

Trying to have a Sard wing on my limited, but I thought the 5:AD lip doesn't cover all the holes from stock spoiler?

I've been working a ton. Been wanting to meet up with the group but don't have the app anymore.

It doesn't cover all the holes, the furthest top two holes are minimally visible. I used clear vinyl to cover and prevent any water from going in. Has worked thus far.

Winter setup

TRMS C4 17x8+45
Bridgestone Blizzaks 225/45/17

My MPSS's look like drag tires on all four, there is no tread life left on them and the car was always all over the place unless it was on dry roads. Tires lasted me around 14K miles with a shit alignment and no LCA's installed. For winter I wanted to go with a smaller wheel, cheap of course, larger sidewall and a smaller tire width. Car definitely feels nimble with an improvement in steering feel over the meatier summer setup.

Now only if they had the TRMS C4 in more offsets. Of course I can always add a spacer but never been a fan of utilizing them. Ill be paying AZP Installs a visit tomorrow for an alignment.

Finally Installed my LCA's and got an Alignment, What a huge difference. Thanks to @AZP Installs on the quick work and @Jive Turkey for recommending the shop. Definitely returning when I need additional work done.

looks like it handles quite good ;)

Haha,

Compared to how it was, I don't feel like I'm gonna die each time I drive it. Especially after switching up the Drag MPSS I had on :lol:

Do you still have any parts leftover from your BRZ? I want to do the P2S hand rest mod..

i literally have nothing left. it all was parted out :(

Banana split doesn't look stock

Stock....ish

Let me know once you get bored of your rays and we'll swap with my rpf1s

:) :)

Wow this is gorgeous! What is next? :drool:

Dam. I'm not a fan of the RPF1s, I like their weight but not the design as much. I'm looking for a set of 57Getter 18x9.5+40 :brokenheart:

I'm hoping to get with @Jive Turkey for his p2s button relocation mod this year and probably source the below from vendors or sales on the forum, Kind of a major overhaul


Rays 57Getter in 18x9.5+40
Stoptech Big Brake Kit - @AZP Installs
Greddy T518Z Turbo Kit
Winjet or Spec D headlight - Hate the stock chrome
Varis body kit

Ill most likely get my interior situated completely and follow it up with the BBK to be prepped for the turbo. Varis can always wait as the car is beautiful as is. Maybe you can be my one source shop for a majority of it :cheers:

Very nice build :thumbsup:

Would be happy to :w00t: I just sent you a PM, we can collaborate

That cockpit though.... clean interior :clap:

1 more month of the winter setup. Then back to Meaty specs

Does the SARD style wing require the extended bracket to get good rearward alignment (from side view) with the five axis spoiler?

No, Your going to be a few millimeters from the 5axis spoiler though. I, have it placed as far back as it can be with the 5axis spoiler and it meets quite well.

Haven't had much time in the longest to work on the vehicle. In reality all my time goes to both my jobs and family. I haven't been able to cruise with some of the forum guys neither which is always fun.

I'm hoping to pull the trigger this year or next with the help of some people/partial sponsorship's on completing a finalized image of my build.

1) Blitz B06-380R Turbo kit and getting it tuned/Motoeast in mind.
2) ST-40 328mm Front BBK kit/AZP in mind
3) Varis Arising II kit mesh with RB V.1 Fenders/Forum finds?
4) Rays 57Getter in Gunmetal/Forum find?

I can sport my 57Xtremes until I can afford them.

I will be doing some track time this season so look forward to videos.

I want to continue this build but it'll be a while before I dump more money into the daily. Aesthetically its where I want it to be with some minor adjustments needed on my end. It also drives like a dream but it needs more POWER. I guess this build will continue in the future. Till then thanks to everyone who stopped by.
