**stu-nami** · 10-15-2010, 06:28 PM

Original order date from tire rack was 6/24 I didn't get them till last Thursday...so I was excited to finally put them on...plus they look like no one elses

I installed some Eurolit3 projector fogs and blacked my grill out. click my link below to check it out

**stu-nami** · 10-16-2010, 05:03 PM

Took some new pics of the rims for you all..did a wax job too and threw on the black l7

**Soul Shinobi** · 10-16-2010, 05:08 PM

Looks fantastic with the JDM tail lights, and I think the wheels match the two tone paint well. I'd just replace the "i" badge with an "L7" and clear the corner light and it'll be perfect.

EDIT: Did you call that badge an L7? Becuase that's the Impreza "i" badge, the Legacy "L7" badge looks like this:

**stu-nami** · 10-16-2010, 05:32 PM

Drove a 2010 Ford Transit to Pittsburgh PA and back again. Fun little van, had people taking pics of it as we drove. Nice test drive with 1300lbs of weight in the back, still managed 350miles on a 15-16 gal tank. Nice one Ford!

your comment about people taking pictures made me look up a picture of it, and wow, it is one ugly van.
For a reference for everyone:

they are much nicer in Europe mainly do to a manual 5 speed and high efficiency diesel options. We get a 4 speed auto and no manual option and I don't think we get diesel.

it's low enough to fit most places with ease but still gives you a lot of practicality also available a a 2 or 5 seater.

It's really begging for an sti swap for ultra stealth.

**Huffer** · 10-17-2010, 06:36 AM

Its actually a pretty sweet vehicle. 150+ ft interior cubic space plus ridiculous load capacity 1600lbs for a 2.0 engine? 25mpg highway?

I may just have found the minivan for the next decade.

**Soul Shinobi** · 10-17-2010, 08:42 AM

Hit the fuel cutoff in third gear last night relieving some frustration. It's so good to put up with me.

**TGX4776** · 10-17-2010, 01:08 PM

Tried to change my knock sensor but I am having trouble finding and getting to it. If the below is correct then I have found it but I can't get a clear look. also I don't have to tools to reach it without removing alot of stuff to get to it with the limited tools I have.

"In a little bit more detailed/general description of location: Find the cold air intake for your engine (a big black tube that enters the engine on the side of the vehicle that carries people). Go to the right and follow the top of the engine until you get to the starter cables (the ones that pull when you turn your key in the ignition). The knock sensor is inbetween these two objects from left to right, and is just towards the cabin of a big metal swoopy object known as the intake manifold. Deep down in this crevice (you probably need about 9 inches of extension on socket wrench with a 12mm socket) there is a solitary bolt that holds in the knock sensor. The sensor itself should be black on the top and have a single cable protruding from it with a white connector on the end that attaches to a grey connector."

And I Removed parking stickers from the po

Google is your friend.

**TGX4776** · 10-17-2010, 02:23 PM

I did Google but I didn't look at videos. so it's in the spot that I thought. just need the right tools now. thanks for the link

**Soul Shinobi** · 10-17-2010, 02:32 PM

Always happy to help--I didn't mean to come off snarky, I overlook even simpler things often enough.

**redlegacygt** · 10-17-2010, 04:25 PM

**httrdd** · 10-17-2010, 07:23 PM

**TGX4776** · 10-17-2010, 07:29 PM

are we all going to be running these tires?

**httrdd** · 10-17-2010, 07:32 PM

How are they in your expierences? Mine are pretty loud, but not ballanced yet. I hear that these tires are known for being loud and they tend to cup. How much did you order them for?

**redlegacygt** · 10-17-2010, 07:32 PM

haha maybe, i've heard some decent things about them, so we'll see.

**httrdd** · 10-17-2010, 07:33 PM

**redlegacygt** · 10-17-2010, 07:35 PM

$378 for all 4 shipped.. It would have been nearly $20 cheaper but they were backorderd at the nearest warhouse, so i paid extra from another since i need them.

**httrdd** · 10-17-2010, 07:35 PM

Best used tire place I have seen. They have really good tread full sets for 30 bucks and under per tire. I am way too hard on tires to buy new ones.

**TGX4776** · 10-17-2010, 07:41 PM

I paid 350 for my set of VRI's

OOOOOOO, I love the mexican tire shops. Thats where I just got my tires.

**httrdd** · 10-17-2010, 08:09 PM

Yea the guy was pretty cool and his tires had nice tread. One guy did not speak english though. Luckily he had a translator.

sorry i some how overlooked the begining of your post.. lol yea i did hear they are kinda loud but i didnt hear about the cupping.. hopefully with rotating them often i can avoid that.. i dont drive the car much any more (unfortunatly) so hopefully they'll last alittle while. As for the noise, with my exhaust and loud music, hopefully i wont here them as much.

**stu-nami** · 10-18-2010, 11:32 AM

And this my friends is how you know you've done a good wax job
