make them fit!

Looks brilliant! The blue wasn't all that high on my list until I saw this. Toyota/Subaru have had aftermarket in mind when designing the car, so lowering it a bit and fitting slightly bigger rims shouldn't do much harm. This one's obviously had some camber applied to it...

As far as your GTR-spec 17x9s, as I understand it, the stock rims (on GTS grade) are 17 x 7.0, and you can easily use 17 x 9.0s but both the offset and stud pattern of your rims in particular will be wrong - the 86 will need higher offsets and a 5x100 PCD.

Took one for a spin. Love it, was about to put down a deposit but I seriously can't make a decision between white or black. The black looks great in person, whereas in photos it seems to dull the lines. White however really shows the lines, but from some angles it makes it look like a Corolla. I don't know why but it's what i associate the colour white with. I think I need to see one to make a final judgement.

Follow enough white transit vans around Sydney and you'll come to the right decision.

Woah woah woah!

5x100!?!

What kind of black Subaru magic is this?

Red looks good, I want a red one, without a doubt they are the best sporty little thing since the 200.

How is the room in the back, OK for kids ?

apparently,seats are only in the rear for cheap rego/insurance in japan.

Here's a little teaser on how my 2 hour drive in the 86 went this afternoon:

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
