KevinEdgar Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Picked up a set of beater sti wheels since the RSRs arent wet friendly. Also, stopped by rallysportdirect on my way over to colorado for some goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derp Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Well I want a white one. And I know of one for sale, or one that will be in a couple months anyway. I'll be looking to sell the red one immediately after if I can make a deal for the white one happen. I could suck start a snow blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Keep me in the loop please. I'll have things more in sight in a few months. Probably turn out better than this other one anyways. Few things on it had me nervous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 This white wagon you want is a fookin gem. Took it out for around 250 miles today. Just a great setup on it. Once the vf52 is on it and tuned it'll be pretty much the best all around car for the $$$. The big turbo on the RBP wagon is a riot, but the street ability of a nice stage 2 setup with dialed suspension (big sways, springs, konis, Group n mounts) is the tits.

I think with upgrading to slightly larger injectors and going topfeed and getting a good tune my car would be absolutely perfect. I know that I'm not limited by the turbo at this point and I'm limited by fuel and I still have fun with it. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that I'm not limited by the turbo at this point and I'm limited by fuel and I still have fun with it. You'll definitely get more out of it! I'm running 66.7% IDC max at 600ft elevation in the cold. That's obviously about 130cc more than my old injectors were capable of. Biggest difference was power up top. AND I still can tune for E85 with no fuel mods if I wanted(though I refuse to until I fortify my FPR) Getting 1000cc injectors will open you up to alternative fuels, and most importantly: on pump gas it'll make that turbo your biggest restriction.

All the dumb ass questions you're asking have been covered since 2007. not trolling and I hear your internet-will-answer-your-questions perspective, but I don't necessarily have eighteen f***** hours to find the needle in the haystack. diagnose my own stupid problem, find the possible answers, parse through everything, and decide on my own what I happen to think is the * right * answer. and then make some more simple mistakes. "here noob, see this link" is that so flipping hard. nothing makes me want to go lease a beigemobile and forget this modding more than people who relate to this as another cool-kids clique have a great evening.

BoozeRS05 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 You have to set the goals here, make your own path buddy. You've got stretched tires on a oversized cheap wheel setup with a worn suspension. Options: -Sell the wheels for an 18x8 +48 setup and keep the tires, then get koni struts and some sport springs, and install everything. Get a JDM rear sway bar. Great DD setup. -You could also get coilovers, slam, roll, pull and camber the f*** out of that thing. Start vaping.

legacybt Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) So much butthurt on both sides . DadSled, this would probably get a more constructive response in the wheels & tires forum. This thread is intended for whoring out sweet photos of your car in return for a bunch of 'thanks' at the bottom of the post. Option #2 What's the offset of your wheels? If you're running a +20, you're going to have some serious trouble getting them to fit unless you go to some serious extremes. If they're the +33's, then you can play. Here's your recipe: Coilovers with camber plates, between -2.5 deg. and -3 deg. camber Roll and pull your fenders, front and rear. Whiteline KTA124 Rear Arms, dialed in somewhere just beyond -2 deg. camber Or, if you don't want to go through the body mangling and suspension overhaul, take BoozeRS05's Option #1. It's works and still looks great - you only miss out on camber and the concave wheels. This is my car with -2.7 deg front, -2.1 deg rear. 18x8.5 +35 wheels with 225/40R18 Direzza ZII (wider than most 225's).

XXR530 18 x 18.75 bf goodrich 225 40 18 any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!! We need to know the offset of the wheels. Rubbing front and/or rear? In the front you can add camber with the factory camber bolt, and that will help. For the rear you will need something like the Whiteline KCA399 camber bushing. Google it. It's cheap. And you going to need to get a roll and slight pull, executed by someone who knows what they are doing. Patience, expertise and experience are what you are looking for in a fender roller. But keep in mind: 225/40/18 are an easy fit if the wheels are the right offset and width. The combination of those two numbers being the key to easy peasy.
