My 2005 WRX STi - 6/28/2016 dyno tune update 429 AWHP/377 AWTQ on 93 octane

Those are cool looking cuts on the rotors.

Lexus Ultrasonic Blue Mica. Hopefully it will bring out the blue flake in the paint. I'm also doing the Hella horns behind my grille with the same color. Possibly the OEM red intake manifold and some other bits as well.

Yeah they're pretty neat. The standard slotted DBA4000's I had before aren't bad either but the 2 piece rotors are pretty slick if I may say so myself.

Notice a handling difference? I'd think the car is too heavy to notice that small of a change in unsprung weight though.

It's not on the road yet unfortunately, won't be for a few weeks. Still waiting on some parts to show up and then I have to strip and paint the calipers. I probably won't notice a difference though.

Oh well, I'm they'll take all the abuse you can throw at them.

im rocking hellahorn there awesome lol car look good bro

I hope so with how much they cost haha. They're scene points if nothing else.

So I'm a sell out and I love it:

17x8.5 +40 offset RPF1's. Slightly wider and lower offset than previous wheels, should look pretty decent while still being very light. I'm happy with the way they look. The tires that are on them are going on my dad's WRX and I'm switching my "old" tires (5000 miles on them) onto these wheels.

Caliper paint is arriving today as well. If all goes well the car should be back on the road in a week or two.

Nice wheels, look like they are rubbing the calipers in the picture.

The caliper isn't bolted down/the rotors aren't installed. There's not a whole lot of clearance but they fit.

poop offset and width wheels are poop.

18x9.5s are necessary.

Thanks to dis gai <<<

Even though you did sleep in like a bum haha

18x9.5s look good but aren't for me. I like my civic wheels.

the 18x9.5 RPF1s look badass.

I got nothing ;)


These will do for now. I can even reuse the tires I already have. Besides, between these wheels and the 2 piece rotors I should get .20894893 more mpg's. because I'm totally building this car with MPGs in mind now. right.

Teasers! Teasers for everyone!

Nobody likes a teaser and y no centercaps!

RPF1 centercaps are fugly. I'm working on sourcing a set of honda caps which will sit flush and I'll have custom overlays made for them.
