Just some end-of-winter updates - new wheels coming soon, along with some suspension and sound updates. It's been a rough couple of months; tons of driving, lots of dings, close to 100K miles, two blown tires, one bent rim, etc. I gave her a quick wax today, but she'll be getting a full interior/exterior detailing in a few weeks. :smile:

Good eye! Forgot about those.
Yes, everyone is sab about the Blitzens. But given I live in a pothole-ridden city (Providence), I really couldn't stand being on 17s anymore. The 16s are also quite a bit lighter. If I had endless piles of cash, I would have held on to them for posterity; but alas, I don't have endless piles of cash.

To be honest, I wasn't crazy about them either - something about dark wheels working better on darker colored cars than lighter. The red BD they're on now looks much better than it did on my car, IMO.
The trunk and spoiler are for sale and taking up valuable space in my tiny apartment.

Winter mode coming soon after a few more autox's. Car behaves much more predictably with Bilsteins and sways, almost makes it too easy to correct mistakes.

Unfortunately, this plan is already kaput. I don't have the money nor can I let the car down be as long as they need to do that level of work. Some day, but not now. Sucks because I know the Cobbs probably won't be available ever again...but if it requires that amount of work/money, I'd rather upgrade the suspension. I told DLC this afternoon after talking to DSG.
Ben, I will get you some this week. That's all I've got for now. They are really, really light.
Airgne, I literally scanned Craigslist last Sunday night, worked out a deal to pick them up on Tuesday, sold my WRX stockers on Wednesday, mounted the Enkeis on Saturday and went autoxing on Sunday. :grin:

Damn, good luck with what you're doing man.
I really wish I could've picked this up and helped you out, but it's just not my time right now. Glad to see she'll be taken care of!

Oh, I'll be there. Believe me, this was by far the group I had the most fun with. No plans to leave!
By the way, I never showed anyone this mod: Hellas 500s were hooked up the factory "Sport Lamps" switch from the Baja and put in the dead switch where a heated windshield switch would go. Pretty trick, if I say so myself.

You didn't get my message? My bad. :grin:
I don't have much left. I didn't want to bother with parting it out so all I saved were the roof racks and the Enkeis (RPF1s, 17x7.5), which have a sale pending.
I also have the crap stock seats, rusty trunklid and a spare tire from a Forester. You're welcome to any of it. :smt030
