We've had a lot of rain lately. Grabbed this picture when it let up for a minute. Still lots of open space in the wheel well, but it's even top to side, so it looks balanced. Can't wait to get some...

Stock alignment, no changes. I'll be going to KWs sometime in the near future, so I'll fool with all of that at the same time.

I got my 17x8 RPF1s with 255/40 Star Specs in today. Threw them on immediately and snapped some pictures. I went out for a little drive to settle the suspension to take more pictures, but I ended up...

He said he was getting KWs, so it sounds like he's going ST_. No reason to buy r-comps for a class he wouldn't be in for very long.

I'm getting KWs if I ever commit to leaving CS for ST_. No clue on what that's like to live with as a daily driver, but a coworker daily drives them on his AP1.

With an excessive drop, mesh has a unique attractiveness on modern Japanese cars. It's like Keri Russell. Many won't find her that attractive, but for those who do there is no substitute.
