Last month I was at Sebring International Raceway with Chin Motorsports. The car was ready, I was as ready as I was going to be so my fiancée and I headed down to Sebring Friday night after work.
“The Limited Project,” the story –
Matt bought his 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Limited in October 2006, there hasn’t been a dull moment with this car. Matt bought STi Limited #657/800, and has had a wrench in his hand until present day. That’s nearing four years of differing phases and modifications. This isn’t Matt’s first modified car, nor his first Subaru.
I’d be willing to bet 90% of the people who read this blog know the car I’m about to feature. It isn’t one of those cars that’s known because it has 11ty billion dollars worth of body work or a huge stereo. This car is known because the car is a subtle well built 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STI with all the right parts.

The guys at Rays Engineering and gram Lights have released a new wheel. This wheel looks awesome, especially in the blue.
Gram Lights 57 Ultimate SC
Gram Light 57 Ultimate and 57 Ultimate SC come in a lot of sizes. Not too many Subaru friendly wide ones but there are plenty to satisfy the guys wanting a lower offset.

Advan has done it again. Releasing yet another wheel that makes people drool over their computer key boards or for a lucky few drool on the Yokohama model at TAS earlier this year. Enough talk, look at the new Advan RG-D and Advan RZ-DF.

This car I’m about to feature is one many of us have seen floating around the internet. Be it on IWSTI, Nasioc, or his own Blog Pin It To Win It.
Tim is no different then the rest of us, he chose a modification plan, he talked to vendors, he bought his parts, he got local subie guys to help, he dropped his car off at EFI and he drives the piss out of it!
Alright, there are a few differences. First Tim chose to put the smaller 16″ Specification brakes off the JDM 16″ Specification Spec C STi. These brakes use the same caliper as the 06/07 WRX here in the US but with a different sized rotor, 5×114.3 and properly sized for the rear parking brake and R180.

Logan’s GR STI was voted the Top Scoob in Nasioc’s world famous Top Scoob poll. Shortly you’ll see why if you don’t already know. It’s rarely easy to modify a Subaru, Logan’s GR STI is no different. It took time, dedication and a very thought out modification path. Logan stuck with it and is now driving around in a Top Scoob.
I’ve got the current Top Scoob himself Logan here to chit chat about his setup a little. This car looks amazing. skip the small talk, here is Top Scoob Logan’s GR Subaru Impreza WRX STI with 18×10 Advan RZ’s.
I don’t normally go on Rants, but it’s about time someone did. This needs to happen.
After the most recent post about the new tire rack website I got more than a few comments stating the following.
“Can we pick wheel size now?”
“Oh, it’s just a tire selection, no wheel selection?”
“Can we reverse search wheel size?”
unfortunately the answer to all of the above is no.
I, among many other enthusiasts want to be able to select and BUY wheels from tire rack that we know will work. LET US PICK A SIZE! 
Looks like Tire Rack took a hint from the guys over at Rays and decided to integrate some new goodies.
Check it out! http://www.tirerack.com
The new functionality is really going to make things easier to navigate. Gotta love progress!
