Depending on where you assume the rim to be on the inside, measuring yields anywhere from 7.5" to 8.5". poo poo.

I'm moving! I'm driving my STi from Michigan to Arizona in about a month. As a car going from an unregulated state to a state with emissions testing, what am I in for? I have no cats

If anyone's in the market for some Racecomp Tarmac 1s, I've got my set up on eBay right now for (relatively) cheap. Being poor really sucks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/200981540265?item=200981540265&viewitem=&vxp=mtr I'm also looking at selling my set of summer wheels/tires that are 5x100 if anyone needs a set of Pilot Super Sports in 235/45/18.

Why can't I have some saved up Was hoping to pick up a set in the spring. Would jump on this but don't have the funds for any more upgrades at the moment.

InitialDave posted:Yeah, it's not inconceivable that something like an '06 might need one, I just usually expect a clutch to last at least a decade unless it's been abused in some way. I agree with you on the town driving and the like - mileage is probably less of a factor, as it seems most higher-mileage cars do a lot of it sat on motorways. I'll always take condition over the odometer reading when I'm choosing a car. A lot of people in Australia advertise their RX as Not WRX or WRX lookalike with a WRX price. I saw 1 car where someone had cut the front apart and painted the radiator black to make it look like it had a front mount intercooler, and several with STI badges.

They may have no AWD dynos or rolling roads or whatever we call them outside of a power developing system and just check your ECU for a "no cat error" was it p0420?  And that it's possible to tune around that.I can't wait to visit a couple tuning shops in an actual real city I am living in. At least it's not CA where they'd kill my car on sight!

TP Racing posted:Oooops, that one flew right past me As it turns out, the Rota Torque is a discontinued wheel so finding one of the right size and color is gonna be tricky. The place I thought I found one at (racinglab) was out of stock and didn't tell me until a few hours ago- I've ordered one in whatever dark color wheeldude will be able to find, so here's hoping. When I buy new wheels in the spring, how do I make sure the wheel is gonna be around for a while? This sucks. Edit: Aaaand I found one on eBay of the correct color after I ordered.

Just get some stock ones from basically any other subaru. 16" 02-05 wrx wheels or similar are dirt cheap.

I finally had some time last night to finish up the motor on my 2.5TS, but I am having trouble lining up the cam gears and crank gear to put on the timing belt. Do I just turn the crank gear as hard as I can? Made a quick video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K8y1jjwUoU

You can get a set of steelies for $230 from Tire Rack and then match up whatever tire. Should be in the $6-700 range. I'm sure you could find one season used winter wheel/tires on various Subaru sites/ebay/craigslist for much cheaper though.

Do I just turn the crank gear as hard as I can? Take the sparks out if they're still in. Otherwise yeah, you just need to turn that crank gear over until it lines up. With the cams loose all the valves are closed, and when the crank is lined up the pistons should all be half way up/down so you can spin the cam gears all the way around without worrying about any piston/valve interaction. Just make sure the crank is lined up first.

The drivers sides I can't really tell 100% but if it feels the same way then it's not loaded. Also Take the timing belt guard thing off the Crank pulley. There are two separate marking on it, and I can't tell if you have the correct one lined up.
