Lucky you don't have a gf. Lol mine gets pist

New pic of the 57DR's, still have to get center caps and a few other little things. Tanabe front strut bar and TIC/Motive MC brace should be in soon and i want to get a front swaybar hopefully from Strano or Whiteline. Cosmetically i'm going to get some lightly smoked redout tailight overlays, black chrome Toyota emblems, and undecided on some other parts but i want a few more darker accents to go with the wheels.

Damn you guys and your warm weather. It's 34 degrees right now, but there's also freezing rain and that is something to pray happens more often. Soooooo fun

It's not a crush washer so it's reusable for a couple changes. I put the gear 300 in and honestly can't tell a big difference but knowing it should hold up better when driving hard it nice. Getting all the junk that was on the plug out is nice too.

It has got a little cold here lately but i think i saw 70 again this weekend, the last couple years it hasn't got really cold here until late Jan, early Feb.

These are the planned replacements for the Gram Lights, 18x8 +30 & 18x9 +35 and 225/40 & 235/40 Continental DW's hopefully if i can get these sold.

Wheels and tires in the post above are on the way, car is undergoing a minor transformation as i have taken the MXP exhaust off as well. FA20Club intake is on the way also, front sway bar will be upgraded, TIC master cylinder brace is going on tomorrow and i'm getting some other minor braces coming as well. Going to get my handling back where it needs to be instead of focusing so much on power as with the FA20 tune, intake, and Motiv pipes it is powerful enough for now.

nix · 01-04-2013, 10:52 PM

Man i haven't seen any 17x8.5's anywhere, i have seen a XXR 17x8.25 but don't think you would be interested in that. 17x9 OZ Racing Formula HLT?

No doubt but i like my shoes too. I should have just hung on to the XXR 530's but these new ones will keep me happy for now. 57DR was an impulse purchase, great wheels but i shouldn't have spent that much.
