I wanted to make a thread 18 months ago to document the work on my yellow T-5R from start to finish, if for no other reason than to have a working history of the car. Too late for that now. However there are a few really special moments along the way - something I know many if not all of you reading this can appreciate - that I want to share, and also give credit where credit is due. For now, I'll just focus on the most recent one: the day Matt pimped my ride. Seriously....
Okay, Matt (500dollar744ti) has been the wrench behind many mods and repairs to this car (most recently the 18T install, car is beast-like now). He is a phenomenal tech and a good friend (*tear wells in eye, feeling a little verklempt, talk amongst yaselves*). But I was not prepared to discover that in addition to his mechanical expertise, he also has an impeccable eye for.....just that "perfect rim". HA! In my case it was the Mizram (haters , you know you can't deny them):
Pics now. Story later (how I have wanted them forever, Matt happened to have them, they didn't cost me $2k like everyone said they would, blah blah blah.) Whatevs, I know you will be back for more.
Out with the old (and albeit beloved)....
and in with the NEW: pimptastic donkalicious 18" Mizrams (oem wheel from 07and1/2 ym C70).
machined to fit and hub-centric. Thanks Matty:
