yes, and no. 310hp is fine for stock TMI but it helps to get one. I am holding out for the best TMI - process west instead of getting cheaper one. I could have bought it already but I keep buying random stuff as you can see. I got a lot of things to install
Check out my 2nd flossy shifter. I love these things. 500 grams and feel so good in the hand. This is the snowball shorty & the other is black grip tape shorty

My wheels have so many paint chips its scary looking. Looks terrible on such a purtty car 
So I decided to paint my wheels! Several Different colors and several different times. I will change the color every 1-4 weeks depending how much I like the current one. How you say? With "Plasti Dip"
It comes in a can and peels off like rubber when you are down. Its tough stuff and can withstand chipping or peeling in auto carwashes, pressure washing etc. The final protective coats determines the durability from what I read, more coats the better
1st up I want to try green. I always wanted green but never had the ***** to try it being PC is 500$+ time.
2nd is Gold or Copper (I bought both)
I got white, black, green, yellow, blue, gold, copper, silver & glossifier. I also got pearl overcoat to play with. Oh yes, And headlight/tailight plasti dip smoke tint so I can peel it off if I dont like it
cool right?
Many people are reporting good things about this stuff as a wheel coating. At 50$ a set, I think its great! I cant wait! I am going to paint my front and rear tow hooks to match each color at that time
To finish it off, I am saving Gloss Black for long term use. All the fancy colors are just for fun. Something for the ole picture album. I truly like Gold wheels on white STi's as well so I am looking forward to finding out which looks best between the copper and gold over coats. And then how they will look with black vs white primer coats...
The website I used to buy all my kits www.dipyourcar.com
He has an option to include brake masks so that you can paint your wheels while they are still on the car. Beautiful thing about this stuff is you can very easily peal away any accidental overspray.
Just like vinyl wrap, this stuff is more popular with the exotic car crowd but I am going for it anyway. Rally On!
*I'll post up when I get them painted...green should be here Monday and I will paint them right away
Once I get an idea what I like the best from 1st hand experience I will get them PC'd that color for good

Thank You
Ken Block does great in the Rally America and Global Rally Cross. He has bad luck tho, crashes a lot too. But he wins races. I like him a lot. Tanner Foust and Pastrana are also my favs in GRC.
