Hey Madscientist! That's my FD. I was up in the boonies NW of Waterloo w/ my buddies - 750cc Kat, B16A Civic, and a stock Impreza, just having some fun in the never-ending straights. I guess you caught me on my way back. Thanks a lot for the compliments man! What were you in? I did not notice any 7's that day.

Jim, I'm sorry about not getting back to you about Steve Khan; I've been extremely busy and it slipped my mind. But no excuses, i fucked up. However to make up, I have those volk centrecaps you wanted ready for you.

Hey man! How's it going? Since I bought the boost controller off of you, I've been seen your posts here and there. I guess you picked up an FD as you planned and have been doing lots of work to it.

I bought my FD from Mike last summer, who's also from Ajax. I'm sure you've seen it before.

I installed the boost controller on the FD recently, my FD is running non-seq. I don't think the spec s is capable of managing boost on twins, I've been getting funny boost patterns in 4th and 5th gear.... Oh well, gotta start looking into other boost management options!

Thank u Shawn! The offset I'm running is 38mm all around. Although they are not the recommended offsets, they fit the car quite nicely. However, my car sits too low and the suspensions are too soft, so the fender rubs once in a while.

They are coming off the car soon anyways. I'm putting the stock wheels back on for TRACK SEASON! WOOOOHOOO!!

well the 38 offset looks great. In time when i get rims i want to be able to go the lowest possible as i find it looks best on the FD, even though everyone says you should go with 45 etc.
what suspention you running that your rubbing?

Ah yea, back in summer when I was visiting my ex- I think she mentioned you one time, you probably know her and the group from MKV.
