bringing back the e23

[yurotrash]

Cars looking good man! The no bumper strip keeps growing on me more and more.. Too mad my euro bumper didn't look that good without it
what's the plan for the wheels? Make them look new or custom?

yeah, I got the idea from your car. what can I say, it's sick

[D-LEM]

I had plans a while ago to go crazy with the wheels, but I think I am gonna keep them semi-toned down...

I've been working on the wheels this winter, and they will be shinin' by the time the warm weather rolls in

update:

In the process of refinishing the wheels right now... got them all disassembled and am about to start stripping the clear off the lips and barrels. If all goes as planned, the wheels will be done by the end of winter break, and the car will be looking the way I want it to by spring.

Should be able to take a coil off front and two off rear without much trouble...

I might take a coil off the rear once I get bored with the "rake"

[D-LEM]

good to know. So there is plenty of room should I ever get grinder-happy on the coils

Gosh, if anyone has a source on euro bumpers lmk

SO cool. Damn. Welp, your car decides it: euro bumps need to happen on my car.

Btw, this is the first time I've seen the H&R springs on an e23... did you cut any dead coils out or are they uncut?

Ya, I did the euro conversions it's 200% better of a look than US bumpers
The h&r are uncut..

06impreza, really good looking car! what suspension are you running? and is that a 6-series front air dam?

H&R springs..
Zender air dam for e23.. RARE

Those wheels look great,can wait to see the car dropped.I assume you removed the rubber strip from front bumper on purpose,have you thought of removing front bumper?Havent seen bumperless e23s,but i think it will look sick....

Would def look good with a filler piece and no bumper..

Throw some BMW style 175's on there and you'll be set.

And where did you get that idea?? Haha... Maybe my car

Love it, even with the weird us-bumpers.

Thanks, I can't wait to make more progress on the car as well. I took the rubber strip off because when I got the car, half of it was missing anyway. I thought about taking the bumper off, but we will see. Maybe I will hold out till I can source a set of e23 euro bumps.. They are probably next to impossible to find stateside though.
