Hello Megan ^_~

Picked up some Megan Racing v2 Coilovers today. Picked them up in Placentia, which was only a 20 minute drive from work, but almost two hours going back home because the 405 had only 2 lanes open >_<

New rubber and wheels

In the spirit of going with a new theme with the car, I've purchased 18x8.5 +48 5Zigen FN01R-C's. I could have gone with a wider wheel, but I think 8.5 is quite perfect for the WRX. Depending how it sits on the car with the 245/40-18 (10mm's wider than my current tires on my 17x8.5 VOLK CE28N's) Dunlop Sport Z1's sit on the rim, I may purchase some wheels spacers. Size of course, dependent on how flush/not flush the wheels sit within the wheel well.

Current State of Things - Desire Re-Ignited

I'll admit, soon after I repainted the car, I didn't have much interest in my car anymore. Some other non related issues arose and priorities changed. For a while; I was considering to scrap the car totally, and go with something different. After a few months, I decided to start working the car again, but the passion still wasn't really there; not as much as when I first got my car atleast.

I needed a push, some inspiration for change... something. Well, that something came in a pretty unorthodox fashion - a car accident. around October/November'ish of 2007, I was pushed into the center divider by a big rig truck. That was the push, the nudge, the pickup I needed. I have more desire now, than ever before, to setup the car the way I want it. Not the way anyone else wants it; no influence from random people from message boards or car meets; this new project will be... "all me".

Back to the future - Stage 2 (end)

Car at it's peak after the major facelift. A lot of off and on work a few month's after the change, but for the most part; the car stayed as you see.
