New Tires

The new Bridgestone potenza RE 070's fitted to the rear of the impreza have fixed the noise that started me looking at the uprights and driveline in my Impreza. There was a manufacturing defect that cause a small flat spot to develop during my drive back from Indiana to Las Vegas, so now I have the new tires it is a very quiet and smoothe ride. I would also like to highly recommend the parts department at Las Vegas Subaru. The parts manager was very helpful in getting the parts for me and I was really impressed with the dealership. Anyone in the area who has been there would agree, they are very helpful! I am still working on a project to make some carbon fiber brake ducts for my STI and when I get my first set done and finished I will post pictures. I hope to make these available for sale but I am only in the design stages at the moment so I will post here when I have finalised the design and had a set made.

I have just purchased a 1991 subaru legacy Turbo,so I will be starting on a new project now. I am back in Monterey California again and have sold my Indycar so there have been a few things happening early in the new year. I can't wait to show you all pictures of the Legacy and hopefully do another big project but this time on a Legacy. It will be awsome to be working on one again, it will take me back to my days working on the Legacy rallycars again  Pictures will be comming soon!

Ok Guys here she is, it is a 1991 Subaru Legacy Sport which is a 2.2 litre Turbo all wheel drive 5 speed transmission. I already have people looking for an rs ra in Japan and will also extend my search to N.Z. This should be a great project. I plan on painting the wheels gold as soon as I get it and replacing the bumper covers which are damaged and getting a new grill.
