My Ultimate 98 coupe-JDM STI ver.8 CF lightweight

Your car is a work of Art, oh man. Though with it's big dominating front end look, you need to match it with a more serious looking set of rims. With bigger lip on the back wheels and smaller lip on the front...

With the New baby, I don't really have the $$$ to buy a bunch of wheels anymore. I'm thinking of buying these wheels:
And mounting some Hoosier R6's (225/40/18) to them. the rear has a larger lip than the front, like /\ you said.
here's a clip of the dyno
244 WHP @ 10 psi, 91 oct. (No AVCS, WG boost)
I just wanted to make sure the A/F ratio was safe before the Track day on Saturday. It was nice and safe, running a little rich, leanest it got was 12:1 and it was only pushing 8 PSI there, so it's good to go! Going to pull the Dash and figure out the AVCS in the next few weeks.

Thanks!
Went to the NASA event @ Firebird East Yesterday, Had a BLAST! The instructor was great and thought I had a well sorted car. Looking forward to the next event.

You know what you should do, submit your car for Readers' Ride in SubieSport. I did with my car. Still waiting for a reply though. Who knows?! They might pit you against me. Battle of the Old School Impreza? Fast vs. Slow? I dunno.

What's SubieSport?
I don't think it's ready for any magazines yet, I still have to finish the interior, and a few other things as well.
I've been looking at other peoples' DIY front lips, I figure it will hold up better at track days and over speed bumps. I'm still planning on getting a CF lip, but this should do for the time being.

I was joking about the Subiesport comment, I have a few issues and really enjoy the Magazine. I may eventually ***** it out in a Mag, but I still have a few nagging issues to sort out before I'm satisfied enough with it to be ripped apart by the masses in a Magazine.
I need to figure out my Fan situation w/ the new Radiator, & an overflow container (and where to mount it). I really want to get some door cards made and a trio of 52mm defi's (Fuel Press., Water temp., & oil temp.) I also am considering an external oil cooler. There are also a few misc. caps and clips I want to replace with new shiny pieces. Just a few things that will give me piece of mind when on the track and cruising on the street.
I'd love to get some sponsors to help support me with some tires, at the track , and at future car shows. I also want to take it to SEMA some time in the near future.

They're about the same out here too.
Here's a few quick pictures of the new CF lip, I want to use the quick release (duez) fittings so I can pop it on & off, similar to the ol' Mustang Cobra R front lip.
These are pictures of the first lip outta the mold, so it's not perfect, but it'll make a fine track-day lip.
I have a Greddy-style catch can I'm trying to make into a coolant overflow container when I install the larger radiator. Still working out the Fan situation, haven't figured out what route I want to take yet.
Here's a few new Pre-Lip pictures.
