I received my wheels back from the powder coaters and they look fantastic!!! Not a bad way to spend $85 but the powder did add 0.15 lbs per wheel, small price to pay.

Oh, I got stuck in some rain driving the other night and it was pouring but my rear window stayed completely dry until I stopped @ a light. And when I started driving again the water from the roof ran down the rear window in a few streams and no more droplets hit the window. These Vg's work and the tufts and water really prove it. And they are only going to cost $0.50 apiece to coat black.

So my plans tonight are to finish this Subaru and then start on some nice camera mounts. One that positions the camera about 4 feet back from the car and level with the roofline and one that positions the camera about 2 feet behind the car and 3 feet off to the side.

And I dunno how much you guys are into performance cars but I felt the need to attach a few turbo porn pix

And i'm estimating my current FE to be around 60 mpg


love it
