'99 Subaru GC8 RX Impreza

[Manyu]

Been following this on rexnet man, like I said keen to see it all finished.

I also have a whole heap of questions to ask you later, if you're free that is!

Damn this thing is cool cant wait to see the 16's on it, i dont know why knowone uses them.

[SebastienPeek]

Picked up the wheel centers this morning.

Building them tonight. Photos will be uploaded when they're all built.

[SebastienPeek]

Doesn't sound like you

Ahaha not one bit

Got off the phone to powder coaters. Picking centers up Thursday morning.
Wheels will be built and sealed Thursday night. Tyres on Saturday I reckon.

Can't wait!

Starting to get a little impatient.

Doesn't sound like you

[SebastienPeek]

Subaru is in dire need of a bath.

Still haven't received notification that the struts have been sent or that the centers have been powder coated. Starting to get a little impatient. Might mount my pressure gauges and run the hoses for them tonight just to give me something to do.

Nice wiring.

Can't wait for more updates.

[SebastienPeek]

Even if it was a WRX, still would have done it.

Glad to see its not a wrx. I like the clean hood of this car

[SebastienPeek]

Boot install has been finished off. Hinged for access to spare wheel.

Oh, and the wiring, well, it looks pretty full on. But it works and now I'm just waiting for the struts and then I can run the hoses.

Also have the gauge holder thingy that goes underneath the head unity for when I run the hoses to the gauges and so forth. So much to do still.

[Smeeeb]

I am stupid keen to see this thing on the floor.

[SebastienPeek]

It's all good mate.
I don't want XD9's or TE37's, I like breaking the mould as much as possible, as always.
Meh.

Regardless, have almost finished the new false floor. Have raised it only by 12mm, plus the 12mm of the MDF itself. I'm going to just get a space saver instead of the full size that's currently in the boot.

Either way, false floor needs a piano hinge and then carpet it and the boots done.
Will get some photos up of current progress so far in the coming days.
Weekend means car stuff!

I wasn't trying to ****.

I like the wheels, and I respect the decision, just was saying my thoughts cuz I own a GC8 myself.
I do agree that everyone does do the same wheels pretty much..but its cuz they look so good, whats not broke don't fix, etc.

Again, not trying to ****. I did say I like the car. Not sure whats up with the eye rolling

[Bflat]

wait wut. that hood scoop wasn't functional?

car looks real clean,
can't say I'm a fan of those style wheels on the GC8 though.

My eyes can't roll hard enough

[SebastienPeek]

Nope, it is an NA car so the hood scoop was basically an ornament.

Everyone seems to do the same wheels on GC8's.
But hey, I'm a fan of the wheels and it is my car, so that's what is going on her.
They're wide, they'll sit perfectly, and when I air out it'll be jizz worthy.

In other news, hopefully picking up wheel centers today.
