qiman Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Zues, your wagon is coming together nice! Mine is the same color but is a GT with factory alloy wheels. The whole car is 100% stock. I'm not going to do much yet until I get a good security system. For the air intake, you listed an HKS one. What's your opinion of the shorter ones versus the ones that go into the wheel well like this? http://www.cosmoracing.com/productinfo.asp?cid=150&pid=1812 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 woohoo! http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/wakeboardingguy/100_0219.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/wakeboardingguy/100_0215.jpg For the air intake, you listed an HKS one. What's your opinion of the shorter ones versus the ones that go into the wheel well like this? http://www.cosmoracing.com/productinfo.asp?cid=150&pid=1812 the shorter ones work well with the snorkus remover from the fender and a heatshield... i dont use the inner fender ones because theres alot higher of a chance that it'll suck up some water if you go through a big puddle or drive through heavy rain...which i consistently do both, ha but theyre pretty effective as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zues Marine Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 i havent decided what im getting, i ran 17x7 wheels with 205/45 tires... the offset was really low so i rubbed alot.. but this offset is ..+45 so i'm leaning towards some 235/45/17 falkens.. unless someone can sway me differently as far as the strut bars..93-01 impreza as well as 02-04 wrx /sti fits as well, the rear is a bit of a bitch in sedans tho, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineedmorepsi Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 225-45... 235s will rub depending on offset it will be strut or fender rubbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 i barely rubbed with +35 offset with 205s and rolled fenders... this ones +45 you think thatll matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineedmorepsi Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 ask twistedauto or girodisc they should know about biggest size but from my knowledge biggest is 225/45 on 42-48+offset without modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could easily make it a 45 or even 40 offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 wheels came in 17" Enkei EDR-9.. waiting to find some cheap used tires to mount for the time being http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/wakeboardingguy/100_0219.jpg got the headers wrapped and installed, what a great sound difference, much lower and rumbley installed the 25mm tribeca sway, its pressing against the header but i haven't seen any i'll effects.. ive yet to turn aggressively with good tires (currently on steelies) but even with those it feels like a slot car.. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/wakeboardingguy/100_0240.jpg EXHAUST CLIP [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WHAruAI3PA]HERE[/ame] <cheap camera wired up all the lights - the projector of the fogs, blew one of the halo's power inverters by getting it wet so i need to order those soon http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/wakeboardingguy/100_0202.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/wakeboardingguy/100_0203.jpg ^those are 6000k bulbs, again, cheap camera http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t232/wakeboardingguy/IMAG0033.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baddog Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Where did you get your heat wrap from for your headers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Wow, that is too much light up front man. I reckon you should make the indicators indicators only, since you're running the JDM lights anyway. And make use of the currently unused park lights as your DRL's instead. Also, the side lamps on the fog lights, they should only come on when indicating, but that's a bit of a bitch to wire up, so meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 what do you mean? im not sure if you mean before.. but i've rewired everything to this a few days ago: independent lights in the bar independent lights in the bumper independent halos no DRLs, no city lights in the projectors no jdm fog projectors yet and side lights in the jdm fogs wired for constant power w/ the park lights..
