'99 Subaru GC8 RX Impreza

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

Nice wiring.

Can't wait for more updates.

[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.

Doesn't sound like you

[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!

[SebastienPeek]

Picked up the wheel centers this morning.

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

[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!

[SebastienPeek]

Wheels are now out in the garage waiting for the Sikaflex to cure. Saturday tyres will go on.

Now to just continue waiting for my air struts. Soon.

[SebastienPeek]

Thursday, 05/30/2013, according to UPS my struts will arrive.

I am now, officially the most excited person as of this second on the forum.
Now to wait some more.

[SebastienPeek]

Today is Saturday, so that meant the wheels had been sealed for well over twenty four hours. Time to get some tyres fitted!

I opted for 205/45/16's all around. So on both the 16x9's and 16x9.5's.
I think the stretch is going to be perfect for the look that I am going to try and achieve.

You can see the massive amounts of positive camber that is up at the front of the Subaru. It is ridiculous. Not sure if it is right or not, but only time will tell when I get the air struts in and back for a wheel alignment.

And as always, Billy the cat enjoys helping me where he can.

Massive thanks to the guys at Tyrepower in Kensington Park, Adelaide. Quality service that is for sure.

Now all I have to do is count down the days till my struts arrive, run lines and we're all good.

[Cutlets]

Wow! They look amazing!
Definitely keen to see what it looks like when its complete

[SebastienPeek]

Thanks man!
I'm keen to see what it all looks like when it is done too. Hopefully it looks like how I've pictured it in my head to look like.

We'll find out in a weeks time I guess!

Install a cannon already

[SebastienPeek]

Need mudflaps first Ryan, and a 2" lift kit so I can go rallying with my 5" tipped cannon.

The majority of the Subaru crowd in Australia are seriously like that.
Pisses me right off.
