Retorqued my suspension nuts/bolts in preparation for a track day. The bolts on the right rear LCA holding the shock and endlink were surprisingly a little loose, around 1/2-1 turn. Up front, one of the strut top nuts had worked itself a little loose.
Everything is buttoned down again and car seems slightly quieter (could just be in my head).

Not today, but this past weekend I got my new wheels and tires mounted (AVID1 A20s with Michelin Pilot Sport 245/40/17s). Also installed a Greddy front lip and knock off STI side skirts, spats, and diffuser which covered up the curb checks committed by the PO perfectly. Since the front bumper was a bit tweaked, I decided to drill through the Greddy piece and bumper, securing them together with plastic clips. Barely noticeable and much more secure. I also installed VLAND taillights. I tried to do the headlights, but the rings that secure the bulbs in the housing were missing. Those should be inbound soon.

Summers wheels/tires off, new-to-me winter wheels on.
Always been a sucker for dished mesh wheels and hard to find in 5x100 and 16". Luckily found a local seller parting from these discontinued Konig Rollers, sized 16x7.5, +35. Wrapped in Pirelli Sottozero Serie II, sized 225/50/16. |

They look great! I wouldn't have thought 16" rims would look that good. Nice to do something different.

Thanks! My summers are 16" too 16x8, +25 to be exact, also wrapped in 225/50/16. Love the old school meaty tire look; don't think I'll be ever going back to 17's.

Went to a dyno to see the results of me fiddling around with ECU tuning - everything is stock except for OEM decatted header and a Fujitsubo Authorize R catback. Fuel is RON97.
Special thanks to @steve99 @tomm.brz @Kodename47 for getting me this far. |

Some minor interior mods -- aluminum Shift Solutions climate control knobs and matching shifter in glossy candy red. Love the look...
