The only thing really left that I want to do to my car now is wheels and tires. I think I've narrowed it down to Gramlight 57extremes or Work Kiwami's, both in 18x8, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Not sure colors, but I really like the chrome on the Kiwami's. I want to do it right the first time with quality, great looking wheels. I'm not really a knock-off wheel guy, which is why I've waited to do these last so I can spend the correct amount of money. If anyone has any other wheels that they think would look good, I'm all ears.

Also, BBS LMs or CCW Classics are my dream wheels for my car, but I just don't think I can make either of those work with how expensive they are. Ughhhhh thanks mom and dad for the expensive taste

They're ok. I'm not a fan of dark wheels, and certainly not black wheels. Those aren't bad.

Maybe red to continue your Husker theme to the exterior? I'm not sure if they're available in a red, but I could see that on your Whiteout.

I think they had their red velvet color on them. I'm pretty sure I heard though that some people had fading problems. I'm probably gonna go with a gray/charcoal or chrome look. Sophisticated, but sporty at the same time. I'm also not a big fan of wheels that scream "LOOK AT ME" so the colored ones aren't my cup of tea usually.

Haha sorry, I'm super picky. Again, that's probably another reason I've waited. Do it right the first time.

I just love the way these look.

I also prefer the less loud colors, I prefer actually darker colors but that's because black and near black really make the body color pop out.

Edit: my new phone has some serious learning to do with its autocorrect.

57Xtremes are cool. They'll have to be either 18x7.5 +40 or 18x8.5 +42.

The Work Kiwamis are the same deal. The 7.5's in 38 offset have no concavity "flat face" and the 8.5's do have some concavity. They come in either pretty high offset 47 or 38, so you might have to worry about the strut spring rubbing with the 47, or go with the 38.

I'd go with the 57Xtremes, or maybe some 57C6

Meh, I'm not really worried about having a concave wheel. If anything, I'd go up to 8.5, not down to 7.5. And I will keep a square set up.

Mmmmm. I'm digging these. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15279

Just took my car to my dealer for my 3rd complimentary oil change and service. I've been doing it at about 5,000-6,000 mile intervals. Once I get my final complimentary service, I'll probably extend it to every 7,500 miles like it says in the manual, but for now I'm still getting them free at every 5k

The reason I'm so adamant about staying at the dealer to do service is because of the free 8 year/100,000 warranty they GAVE me. I don't want to hear, "oh you did it yourself or took it to your buddy's performance shop? Warranty denied!" My warranty has saved me thousands and thousands of dollars already, so I just want to be safe.

With that being said, I have about 16,200 miles on my car. For being a college kid, I think that's a lot. Bought it last April so I'm doing about 15,000 miles/year. That does include the 1,300 mile trek when I moved down here in August, though.

I had my springs installed pretty soon after the car, along with the exhaust with the exception of the header. So those components have been on for either right under 16,000 miles, or just at that mark. Pretty damn happy with my springs. They are perfect for my needs. And now that the header has broken in more, I rarely listen to music anymore Plus it masks the rattles a little bit..

Sweet build.

Is there a noticeable performance increase with your current exhaust setup?

I'm thinking of finishing my headerback with the FT86SpeedFactory catted UEL and getting some type of OP/FP that is catted and resonated.
