THE 2012-13 WINTER BEATER

[K3rn]

i still got them 16s if you still want them

 

[IBratmanI]

Damnit I forgot about those! Let me know if you ever head this way.

 

[K3rn]

i will

What size tires you running?  I have 215/65/16s generals on mine with no rubbing but might want to go a little bigger down the road if i can.

 

[IBratmanI]

Umm, I'll have to look. They are 17's, I know that. Gabe probably remembers.

215/60/17

215/60/17

This. And they are very close to rubbing, but don't actually rub unless I go over a really big bump, and then they only hit on the rear, on the top of the mud flap. 

 

[IBratmanI]

Correction, they were 225 60 17's that are on it.

But not anymore. I traded these for one of my roof baskets with 04fxt. They are 05ish Outback wheels. Now I won't wear out the winter tires.

"New" grille. I'm not a fan of the OBS style grille, so I got a WRX one for cheap!

WRX hood to match? Then it would truly look like a "new age" OBS should have looked...

Yeah I already bought that, just waiting on Chad to drop it off at a meet up spot.

And it's mostly for the weight difference. The stock OBS hood is heavy as hell!!

Yeah, I'm switching to a wrx hood with a blockoff plate on my RS. The weight difference is HUGE. steel vs alu

Are you making a block off plate? Or is there someone who makes them?

I was so surprised when I took my good off, so light!

Yeah it's crazy the difference. 

 

[IBratmanI]

Installed the WRX hood tonight after work. It's got a bunch of dents on it, but that's ok, so does the rest of the car. The weight difference is amazing.

Also installed a Kartboy shift knob that I got for cheapz. I've always liked them, so I had been watching for a good deal on a used one.

I gots a kart boy knob too love it

This is my delrin one, the others have been aluminum, but the feel is the same. Goes well with the Kartboy short shifter too!

 

[Ray]

Theres a Kartboy Delrin knob somewhere around here in my garage or something, cant seem to find it

I loved that thing!
