Yay for new toys!
New this week:
Hella Supertones replaced the Hella trumpet-type horns.
The new exhaust (kinda dark, I know). Apex'i N1 can, everything else is full custom, 2.5 inch from the Borla headers back. 2.5" Magnaflow hi-flo cat in between the 2 factory O2 sensors, no electronic trickery, no resistor mods, no spacers, and no CEL's after 2 weeks. This thing sounds ridiculous, I love it
As always, thanks to Nate at Subaru Specialists for an absolutely killer job on the exhaust; no rattles, no movement, and it has more clearance than the stock exhaust did under the car, so no worries about dragging it over speed bumps, etc.
And the new rims. 17x7.5 ET48 Rota Actions in Bronze. Tires on there now are Ecsta 711's; will replace them with 070's when I pull them off my other rims. I actually like these wheels considerably more than my Gram Lights; they fit the car perfectly, and the Rota/Kumho combo weighs at least 5 pounds less per corner than the Rays/Bridgestone combo, so acceleration and steering feel are noticably imporved due to lower unsprung weight.

But:
They won't clear the Stoptechs I just bought.
The previous owner demolished the lips on two of the wheels, and it's always bugged me.
And the color on the Actions almost perfectly fits the rest of the car, whereas the Gram Lights looked really nice, but almost needed to be darker.
Plus, I got a steal on the Actions.
