I like the drop on it. Wheels are a little outrageous for my taste..... but to each their own. Painted side skirts, JDM tails, and modded grille would go a LONG way too. Maybe even a roofrail delete, if you don't use it.

Three things that would totally set that car off. One) taking off the bra, two) JDM brake lights, three) taking out the orange reflectors in the lights.

The car looks real good, what did you do to get that drop? I am not crazy on the wheels entirely, but that is definately a common look in australia and that area, and I think without the bra they'd go really well. I see you also have an exhaust, so what are the details of your car?

[LeggoMyLeggy]

This is really my wife's car...well she drives it more than I do! :) While I can't take the credit or the blame for how it looks, there are a few things I would eventually like to do.


1)Take the bra off - its covering a little hole created by a truck with a hitch :cry:
2)JDM brake lights - for sure!
3)JDM or modded grille - I like Sybir's
4)Slap a set of Sparco NS6 - I need to check the fitment

As far as details...its all stock except for the following:
F10 Focals 17x7 wheels
215/45-17 Toyo Proxes FZ4 tires
GR2 dampers on Intrax springs
Tinted windows
Luau front seat covers (the wife's idea)

Thanks! I like the drop, too. Its not too bad and I can get around without scraping.

I like the look of the painted side skirts plus it makes the drop look lower, so I will probably add that to the list of mods to do.

I'm going to be using the rack so it's going to stay.

[LeggoMyLeggy]

Actually, I would like to get my hands on Morettes for the right price or even find them at all.

[JordanIsHere]

Loose those rims, the seat covers, and the lisence plate frame and she'll be looking good :smile:

[Huffer]

How are the intrax springs? I emailed them for info on them, they never replied about spring rates etc.

Can you load up the rear hatch with firewood and not have it sag out?

[Wiscon_Mark]

yeah, not feeling the rims on the car, or the ones you posted, but that's just me.

Other than that, it looks good :smile:

[LeggoMyLeggy]

Thanks for the tips everyone! When I got the car a few months ago everything except the tints had already been done by the previous owner. When I throw new treads on her next summer I will probably pick up new wheels then, too.

=>Huffer: I haven't had the chance to really load up with anything heavy but will let you know when I do. Right now I don't really have anything bad to say about the Intrax. The car has a good ride and handles well in the corners. I have Eibachs (Prokit) on my Acura 3.0 CL and its ride is stiffer and the drop isn't as low.

[Huffer]

hmmm...
I like the way the wheels are tucked under, I haul quite a lot of gear in my car, hence why I'm looking for a wagon (again). Intrax springs are cheaper than Eibachs, and Eibach have stopped production for the BD/BG Legacy.

The exhaust is by Magnaflow.

[SilentRacer]

Those rims almost look like spinners. Who makes those?

[LeggoMyLeggy]

They are F10s by Focal who are no longer in business.

[Plays_with_Toys]

The second wheel looks awesome. Almost looks like a DTM race car wheel. I think they would suit your car very well.

[LeggoMyLeggy]

^^^ They can be had at www.discounttires.com (http://www.discounttires.com) for $100 each. Problem is that they are running out of stock and they are no longer going to carry them. Anyone else who has them is asking in the $200+ range.

I :smt049 bras.

Me, too, but are we talking about the same thing??? :lol:

Perhaps. :downtown: .

[LeggoMyLeggy]

^^^^ Yeah, we're tracking buddy!!!!

[LeggoMyLeggy]

Looking at getting these but will need to check for fitment. Possible shoe it with 225/40-18. Anyone here running 18's on their BG/BK?

uh, that img link doesn't work as there's no .jpg/.gif at the end of it...

[LeggoMyLeggy]

^^^Fixed..Thanks Mark.

[Wiscon_Mark]

Prodrive Rims are amazing :smile:

[blackgtbeauty]

leggo the rims.

pro's ftw!

[LeggoMyLeggy]

^^^That's what I'm hearing.

[Plays_with_Toys]

225 though? Isn't that too wide? I thought that rubbed the strut or something.

But prodrive's should fit no problem, they love subies after all.

[ryu_haneda]

Wow. Doing some browsing through the end of the Members Rides section and found this. Outrageously cool wheels.

Hmmm. Maybe I'll start doing a "Where are they now?" segment... :)

[LeggoMyLeggy]

I've long sold this car but sure miss it a lot. These days I'm running with a Hawkeye. Still part of the roo family though!!!
