When you add the bolts, I ran the smaller ones in the bigger hole, and put the camber bolts where the smaller bolts were. I got a lot more adjustability this way.

Nice car and part selection.

I run my flaps in the winter only

I did get the BRZ back and it's got -1.5 on both the left and right front wheels. I'm pretty sure the tech used the smaller ones in the bigger hole because I told him I wanted more camber than the stock specs

I think up next is a set of red Toms Tails to go with the red Rays Center Caps.

I'll put my flaps on, and If I'm not a huge fan of them, I'll run them selectively like you.

At least it's sorted out now!

Red TOM's are definitely on my to do list. They'll look great on your car.

Just placed an order for some Cherry Red Toms Tails. Should be here next week.

TOMs Tails and my Pittsburgh 3 Ton Low Profile jack should be here tomorrow. I'll be having an install day and throwing on my new tails, rally armor flaps, as well as some yellow fog light covers.

Bowen · 06-12-2016, 06:22 PM

Quick update, got the TOMs tail lights as well as Rally Armour installed.

I did a really crummy job installing the yellow fog light overlays. Maybe in a few months I'll redo them.

Then I attended my local Subaru meet, even made a few friends.

Love the wheels! How do they effect your performance though?

Thanks! Performance wise, not much. I mean the steering is much heavier since the wheels and tires are much wider than stock. The tires are pretty grippy, but since I'm not boosted they dont help as much as they should haha.

Did an oil change and swapped back to my stock wheels. Three of my Rays have some nasty curb rash that I'm going to have fixed this week.

This is my first time seeing the stock wheels in combo with my coils. I didn't realize how much extra room I have compared to the 265/35 RE11s.

Been a while since I've updated my thread.

So I had my gramlights rash repaired

All fixed!

Unfortunately the color didn't match, and since Rays doesn't release their paint codes there was no way to get a perfect match. So I just had all 4 wheels resprayed completely.

Stripped and ready to be primed

Final result! They look just like the original Mag Blue only with a bit more metallic in them.

I also bought an OFT. Running Stg 1 93 Oct.

And most recently, I uninstalled my Perrin CAI and installed a STi front spoiler. Looks great IMO.

Tomei UEL Header is on the way! Can't wait to get it installed and start running stage 2. At the same time I'll probably be doing a brake and coolant flush since I just hit 33k.

Bowen · 10-02-2016, 05:44 PM

Gotta love Amazon, sunday delivery!

Replaced brake fluid with motul, and did a coolant change. As well as a wash and wax.

Thanks man 👍 Massive amounts of reading this forum led me to the conclusion that the stock air box w/ a drop in filter nets almost the same results of a cai. Plus, the Open Flash Tablet tunes are built for the stock intake. And there was a huge rip in the filter haha
