Over the weekend I swapped in an 04 WRX cluster. Direct plug and play. I wanted it for the center tach.



I ended up swapping back because center tach doesn't work with my steering column mounted GoPro.

Updated video on the 35psi tune that made 666WHP. 50-100mph came in at 3.36 sec.

Sold the RPF1 setup. I'm back onto the stock wheels for now.

My new street tires arrived today. They are 26x9.5R15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials. The new wheels won't be here until next week.

Can anyone confirm the color on these? Gunmetal? Gunmetallic? Are those even two different things? It is really hard to tell colors in photos online. Most photos I see of Gunmetal appear to be a lot lighter and do not have the brown/bronze/copper flake. Most of the time these wheels look pretty dark, but I tried to get a lot of light onto them to really get the flake to stand out in these photos.

Quick shot of mine from last night. Still need to paint those horns...



6-3-2015

Edited another shot from the other night.



I'm hoping to get the new wheel/tire setup on today.


The new set of wheels arrived today. They are going to be used with the Mickey Thompson Street Radials. They are 15x7" Rota Slipstreams in Gun Metallic.







Quick shot of them mounted:

More shots of the new wheels and tires mounted up.






Compared to the Hoosiers with identical wheels.






On the car:




Hopefully soon. Maybe this weekend if everything falls into place. Definitely planning on MAP Proving Grounds June 19-21st.

Drove it to work today. Camera phone shots from in the parking lot. Rubs in the rear. Needs to be rolled more...
