Black wheels.... Makes art work stand out more

[istdercollen]

Thanks guys! More to come tonight. Other door is still blank. Did some weight reduction last night. I'm up to 62kilos removed.

[Munkyb0y]

that turned out great!

after all the effort you've put in to share this with us, i think it's only fair we all photoshop some wheels on it for you to compare

[istdercollen]

^it's just making my decision harder!!! aghghghghgh! haha.

We got back to work today on the car. In 5 hours this is how far we got on the door.

and how every Subaru engine deserves to spend it's life.

also removed a bunch of stuff today like all the sound deadener on the driver's side, the rear panel on the drivers side(total 8 pounds), and the radio and speakers are out(8.8 pounds). So far I have removed 151.2 pounds/68.7 kilos.

other side is done. just roof left!

Thank godddd. MOving on to more weight reduction.

question.. does anyone know if R34 exhausts are interchangeable with R33 exhausts. when I look at the two in pictures side by side, the bends seem to all be the same. If they did, then there are some awesome exhaust choices I have to make.

[lach88]

that looks so amazing!

so much time and effort gone into it, big congrats at how it is looking ATM.

i think you should get the enkies powder coated bronze/ dark gold colour.

[Bunta]

looks killer, Congrats to your girl and your self!

I think the wheels need to be these!

^your post is blank when I look at it.

[Munkyb0y]

yeah i was giving you info on the 33/34 exhaust, but then realised i was thinking of the gtst, not gtr. so i removed it. lol

btw, the car looks great. i dont think you can ruin it no matter which wheels you choose. as long as they fit right

This looks awesome mate, your GF is gifted indeed.

My only concern is that with all this hard work, you haven't sanded the original clear coat before applying the art work so when you end up spraying the clear over it, it will start to flake and peel in no time.

agreed!

also with regards to the exhaust, i can confirm that 34gtr exhausts are in fact slightly longer than the gtt's but sorry i dont have info on interchangability between 33's and 34's

[FLN75S]

From what i've seen i think you will find the 33 exhaust is longer than the 34 so you should be able to mod it too suit.

to be honest I don't expect it to last for an incredibly long time. When the time comes, I'll repaint it to Midnight Purple like I was originally planning!

Also, thanks guys for the infor on the R34 to R33 GTR exhaust info!
