That's my favorite wheel. I want some so damn bad. OhNoez has em. Way Jelly!
I really dig my current gram lights on my car. They've really grown on me but I'm tempted to paint them bronze or a top secret color.
But I would trade them for a set of XD9's in a heart beat.

Yeah I actually went through that myself with my gram lights because they look like they've had a lip repair done... paint is a bit off. But the markings seem right. And I have the rays center caps... which I like. LOL! But I'm gonna need to get gram light to send me a new sticker pack when I repaint and people are gonna be like... those rotas.... then I will punch them.
I want TE37 in Hyper Blue. That is my number one choice
Looks good and are lightweight, but some guy already has them on his BRZ and won best of show at S3
.... lol...
Those look exactly like Work Emotion CR Ultimates

O.K....
so... I found a 2006 sti with 50k on it. wrecked of course. If I could get it for under $7000 you think it would be worth it?
My thought is this....
Use the motor/trans/brakes/center console an steering wheel.
That would leave me with all this to sell...
Interior
Glass
Good body panels including the trunk and rear roof vein.
Wheels
VF39/STI intercooler/Injectors
Exhaust
Suspension
Then off my car I'd have
My stock brakes
My entire swap
My entire center console and steering wheel
I figure it might take me some time but I could quite possibly make all that $7k back. I'd still be out the expense of the misc. stuff, clutch, injectors, etc. And a tune of course. Mike would be tuning it. I think if I could do the whole deal and be out of pocket under $3000 it might be worth it.
What do you guys think?
Do that or just fix what's busted on my car right now and drive it into the ground and have mike build me a stroker motor and some cam'd heads.
My fear is that say the motor lasts me another 40k. I'd be at 250k. So I dump $5k into the motor and then my tranny blows and I'm out another $3000. I need a new clutch anyways.
I'm working on getting my caddy running. It's old but my commute is short so downtime wouldn't be that big of a deal.
