I agree, nice colour choice on the wheels and the wheels themselves do look very nice on a hatch, personally I'm not a huge fan of Black wheels on any car, as I've said before they never seem to show up that well in any photo's. Mine are being done very soon although I do like the colour they are now I'm just a **** for a Gold wheel on an Impreza.

I have a set of Gold STi Blob alloys and the current black wheels fitted. I am a sucker for white and the black alloys will probably go that way.
It like good rock music, all we do now is play homage to the 70's and early 80's bands. And AC/DC just keep giving.

My now completed TMIC, for reference we measured the core depth on this to the standard OE item - 100mm vs 55mm, plus the better quality motorsport core will mean that this outperform the OE by some margin.
My brand new Prodrive GT2 wheels which have been refinished in BWM Sepang Bronze, it really is hard from the pics to see the way that the colour changes with light but I have to say I am really pleased with them and the contrast depending on the lighting conditions.

It is Si but that is some way off yet.
I've had some delays thrust onto me due to missed delivery dates, I wouldn't mind too much but it's been a case of me having to chase answers rather than then informing me.
I have tried using the seven P's rule in this build / project but being in the hands of others leaves you open to the vagaries of human nature.

A Bit Of A Surprise
Yesterday I was made an offer on the car 'as it is' which quite frankly I had to give some very serious thought, so the car will be leaving my posession today (subject to payment being received that is).
I honestly wasn't looking to sell the car and it only came about by a pure chance coversation, the new owner isn't a member of SWS and isn't known to the club either plus they are from out of the area as well.
The new owner has asked that this is kept private which I am happy to do as it's his business and his alone, I am not too sure about what to do next with regards to it's replacement but I do know it won't be an Impreza.

You Got issues dear..!!!
If I had put all the time and money into a car like you have there is no way I would sell it...I think you need to have a long hard think on what you want, and to be honest I don’t think you will ever find what you’re looking for in a car, because I don’t think you know yourself Ty.
If it's not going to be an impreza and your sure of it, why did you start this project for.?

Wow, that's a suprise to say the least, we were all looking forward to seeing the end result but above all else your happy with the sale and that's what counts. Whatever you decide to buy next I hope to see back and Subaru and attending meets and events.

I didn't even offer my car up for sale, a suggestion was made that got me thinking, I can think of others who given the right offer would also sell up, it was nice that there was no haggling or tyre kicking as well.
A 911 or a Boxster is a real possiblity along with a lot of other cars, I have some thinking to do.

At the end of it all it someone made a generous offer and I accepted it, like I said in an earlier post most people would sell if the offer was the right one.

Well I was bloody looking forward to giving the Hatch a bloody good spanking over the range and all!!!
I don't blame you ty, it all happens for a reason mate. I wish I was more like you and Ozz, and could part with my cars/bikes and other toys easier, I would be a lot better off no dobut and had a sensible head sold everything that is not getting used these days, my Subaru included.
Looking forward to your next choice of car, as long as it's not an evo I won't unfriend you on Facebook lmfao
