I finally managed to get my new wheels on the car, dual EcuTek switchable maps, LAUNCH control and Prodrive geometry setup. Car is going an absolute treat.
8x18" BBS CH's with Goodyear Eagle F1's 225/40/18 - Going for the S203 look.........[]

As she was...............



And now...............Mmmmm






I think you'll all agree that it totally changes the look of the car. I am rather chuffed.
Dave

 

they do look nice but IMHO the previous ones looked much better

 

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion - I was fed up of seeing everyone else with the the same wheels as I had. I got the anthracite PFF-7's a long time ago and it now seems that it is the alloy of choice for 90% of scooby owners (for good reason - it looks really nice). Time for a change..........

Dave

 

Yeh i guess your right that its become a typical trend with the PFF7s but as youve pointed, if your happy then thats what matters

 

Thanks mate yes I am..............

 

LOWER IT!!!

You know it makes sense

 

I know what you mean about the PFF's being over done and fair play for getting rid! I personally prefer the before shots though, I think the car looks a bit too silver now. I still wouldn't say no mind!

 

Dual switchable maps? how's that work then?

 

Good Question

Fantastic looking car, looked better with the PFF-7's IMO

 

look a bit like S203 wheels, intentional ?

 

looks cool 2 me, more info on the switchable maps and LAUNCH control would be good

 

i prefer the new rims, all you need to do now is dump the tea tray wing and it will look even cooler...all imho oh course

 

Yep very much so - the wheels are VERY similar to the S203/4 alloys (but the genuine ones cost $3000 without tyres.................

I have a custom EcuTek Tek 3 remap which NOW on the STi9 allows you to run two maps - one high boost one low boost (switchable from the demister button on full throtle) and Launch control. The launch control sounds wonderful.................

Dave

 

Oh no you are correct - I know where to get a S203 rear spoiler from aswell - now to convince the Mrs................

Dave

 

It's NOT silver - Crystal Grey all the way.............

Dave

 

Surely dont change the wing, that car is one of the best looking subarus out there, its the best colour second to none, and the new alloys look nice, as do the old ones, but everyone has the old ones! Well done for going for something new mate! Im with you 100%, but I would suggest lowering a little now, would finish the car off!

 

The car is lowered on prodrive springs at the moment.

Dave

 

nice choice of rim mate
amazing the difference the style of rim can make to a car
As you say pff7's are quality if not a little over done
lighter colour sets your scoob off as well

 

Just to show off my BBS RE's

 

BBS rims look nice mate, go well with your car colour.
A bit different altho prefer them in the darker anthracite colour like on ~DrEaM~'s car.

 

Looks soo much more classier with the BBS rims

 

Those BBS are great
Does anyone has one photo of that wheels on a classic???and it exist on 17"???

 

Change back

 

Looks great before and after. (fellow Crystal Grey owner)

 

How did you get it so clean in this weather. Can`t get a chance to clean mine at all. Hopefully my umpteen layers of Swissol Wax are working!

 

THe car hadn't been washed for 2 days when I took the photos - so I should pull my finger out and clean her. Just lots of wax and regular cleaning that's all. The car usually gets cleaned 2/3 times a week when I am at home.

Crystal Grey is definitely the best colour................

Dave

 

Nice choice of alloys mate. The BBS RE's definitley contrast nicely with your silver paintwork. Great minds think alike................

Dave

 

Crystal grey..........mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

BBS's are absolute sex

 

That's interesting to know! Never heard anything about this? you must be the first person on the forum to have it!
How does the launch control work then?
