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.
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.

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.

The new functionality is really going to make things easier to navigate. Gotta love progress!
The magic delievery person dropped off Two boxes from the Famous TiC. I had gotten an email from Clint saying they shipped and I was anxiously waiting for my TiC SSTs. They only took 3 days to get here! For those not familiar with the Turn In Concept spec AST Coilover system here are some teaser photos until I get everything assembled.
Turn-In-Concept SST Coilovers
TiC’s Strut assemblies are made by AST to TiC SST specifications. TiC offers their coilovers with Swift Main Springs, Swift Helper Springs, and Swift Thrust Washers. I chose to go with the Vorshlag Camber Plates front and rear as well. They also come with a very detailed document on the assembly and care of your new suspension (rare to find that now-a-days).
This specific set of TiC SSTs runs the same setup as their Time Attack winning WRX with stiffer and shorter Swift Springs. I’ll be running 9k front and 8k rear, both front and rear are 6″ Springs. Once Clint & Tony knew the ride height and planned use for the suspension we custom tailored the spring choice to meet my needs. Thank you again Clint and Tony!
Now More Pictures!
I don’t normally post random “holy crap this is awesome” posts, but there is a first for everything.
The recently updated Rays Engineering site is really amazing. The functionality is increased along with speed and usability.
Check it out and give me your thoughts.
This will make searching easier and should help expose some of the lesser known Rays brands.
I’m heading to STU. I want to get back to street tires.
I’ll be putting together a few articles with the build progress and parts accumulation.
The build is going to be a simple STU build. Suspension, Bushings, Wheels, Tires and Driver tuning.
