GTEASER Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 moved to 4th gen section for better exposure. There are rumors that the guy who bought the molds for the Karlton GD fender flares is beginning work on a set for the BP/BL Legacy.

GTEASER Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Somebody reply to this guy. He's posting up duplicates of this thread in every single subforum that makes no sense at all, apparently being impatient and hoping for a reply.

thisisthenewsic Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 My buddy's friend has the molds now. He is the new owner of all the Karlton flares and he is producing them. Karlton does not own them anymore. I actually just talked to my buddy's friend today. I should be meeting up with him In the next 2 to 3 weeks hopefully to talk about getting this going.

I get it. So I have to wait 3 more weeks to find if something is going to happen? I've waited 11 years, a couple more days isn't going to break me.

boxkita Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) I've been looking at doing something like this for the wagon. It's mostly legal in my class, which basically says the car has to be recognizable as a Subaru. The fact that its the only wagon, has a turbo, and AWD; assures that anything else I do isn't going to detract much. Besides, the winning car in class looks very DTM in body work. I think he's onto something. Meeting with Dead Mr. to work out the suspension issues for the rear so I can run wider tires...have to fill out the flares. http://gearheads.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/jon-olsson-audi-rs6-dtm-06-1024x684.jpg Edited August 26, 2016 by boxkita Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisisthenewsic Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 From hence forward I propose that thou shalt refer to thine buddy's friend as thine own buddy. lol sorry. next time ill say hes my buddy lol. Okey dokey. I get it. So I have to wait 3 more weeks to find if something is going to happen? I've waited 11 years, a couple more days isn't going to break me. yeah. he wanted to meet up this weekend or next. and i might be able to do it next weekend. but it depends on my schedule and if i can get time to go down there. What will you be doing about the wheel bearings? That concerns me the most about running these wider wheels. one step at a time. i want to search and try to find a company who makes wheel bearings that will make a good product and also make them in a 5x114.3 lug pattern.
