Here are a few of my favorite photos from yesterday. Link to more pictures: http://s937.photobucket.com/user/andrew_buresh/library/Gold%20Wheels

Decided to chug a pint of Al Bundy (4 flavors of Stoli with a splash of cranberry) after drinking beer all night. But hey, it was free.... Hello headache, welcome to the party.

And that was without a single drop of rum....

What happened to cause the piston to melt?

The factory 4x50 amp comes with a harness to interface with the factory HU and wiring in the dash cubby. It goes along the side of the center console to the dash, then routes up and into the stereo dash opening. I have betterpics on my laptop I can post later if your interested.

Thanks for the kind words guys! Neu, I do rub on the rear a decent amount, the fender liners are already worn away. There is plenty of space to clear the rear arm bolt that is a problem with higher offset wheels. I don't have rubbing on the front at full lock or the fender lip, but I have yet to really push the car through a turn because I am still breaking the tires in. I don't anticipate any front rub under DD conditions, but if I were to auto-x right now I do think I'd rub a bit at the outer fender lips under hard cornering. A quick fender roll or more front camber would fix that though. Here are a few better pictures now that I've had time to swap the snows off and put my new Ventus V12s on, and get my car cleaned up a bit. And here's a quick sound clip of the exhaust with the mufflers removed:

Repost from earlier today in this thread even.

The wheels are from a 06 STi. Made by BBS (RV724), they're 17x8 et+53. So with 19mm adapters, there is a final offset of et+34 all around. Due to the wider rear track of an AWD model, the rear offset is equivalent to et+24 on a FWD car. Tires are 235/45/17 Hankook Ventus V12s, and because the BBS wheels are forged, they only weigh about 18 lbs each.

Apple :lol:

Works perfectly for me on VS app and Safari on iOS

Wednesday winner.

:lol: that's awesome

Saw a white 98-00 XC with mass plates on Rt. 4 N in RI yesterday morning around 9 am. It had smoked tails, dual exhaust, aftermarket wheels, and tinted windows.

Sorry, accidentally negged you Mike. Meant that to be a +1

Didn't even get drunk last night, I was driving. But I still managed to drill my head on the bottom of my buddies pool pretty hard, and holy shit my neck is sore this morning. It sure feels like I'm really hungover because I don't wanna move or get outta bed :lol:

Time for an update. Before auto-x started for the season, I "unhooked" my mufflers for a few weeks and ran this super awesome $7 turndown as my exhaust tip.... I made sure to cut the pipe in a straight section, so I can use a 2.5" ID sleeve to re-install my mufflers for DD duty. They are currently re-installed, but I think I'm going to pull them off to get some sound clips. Here's a couple shots from Auto-x this spring at RPI. Tires (205/55/16 all season) and stock suspension are my weakest links, so those are next on the mod list. After that, its time to deal with that pesky auto trans.....! Here's a video my friend took on the last event of the spring. I ended up in 5th, but was in 4th most of the day. On his last run, a kid in his '10 135i 6MT beat my best time by 0.4 seconds to steal 3rd place https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUPJCF4Nk8s Some time around late April, my heater core gave up on me: That was all sorts of fun to clean up: Did a photoshoot with a few friends from school, including Matt (babyclaude) and his C30 Got inspired by a Speedhunters post on the benefits of a slow shutter, so I played around a bit at night And last but not least, replaced my ETM and cleaned up my engine bay a bit. Little cleaning, polishing, painting, and I installed the P2 R fuel rail cover I got from Semir (D S50R) By the end of summer I'm planning on having some new wheels+tires and getting the suspension sorted out a bit.

Holy crap H. Every time I think your wagon can't get more aggressive looking, you step the bar up another notch. Im so excited to see how this turns out!
