Nice man. GT6. I was so close to purchasing one last Spring. Flew out to Red Deer to see it and everything. It was a little tiny for my 6'2" frame. Should have found you first before I made the trip. haha

Last day at this height. Going into the shop tomorrow for a pretty much complete suspension overhaul. Tein coils, Skunk2 LCAs, front control arm poly bushings, all new OEM bushings where needed, front camber bolts, etc. Pretty excited!

Went from 235/65R16 crappy grand touring all seasons to 225/60R16 performance all seasons. so much less of an SUV tire look, a much more low profile tire.

I havent washed the Vr since i bought it. But then again, it has spent most of its winter under a tent being fixed.. :(

getting them ready

does the element come stock with the plastic looking fender panels? i always thought it was just the bumpers.

That's very difficult to choose.
It is like going out with either a hot blonde or hot brunette.

blondes you can take anywhere, anytime.

brunettes, you gotta dress them up.

problem is, which one is the blonde?

Supra's the blonde

I doubt the Japanese one is blond and the German is the brunette.:smug:

03-05 had plastic panels stock on all models, 06 had body painted panels on the EX-P trim only, 07+ had painted panels standard across all models.

Two more pics, dropped the E off at the shop

A customer picking up his Honda Beat, pretty cool!

How do you keep all that plastic so nice? Some of my Jeep looks fine and some looks like shit.

White wheels :drool:

I want to go white with my summer setup but I'm afraid it'all be too hard to maintain.

White is right.

Opti coat the wheels and they'll be a breeze to clean

It all depends on what brake pads you are using, but it's hard to go wrong with white wheels!

and yes, the Opti-coat makes cleaning a breeze.

Bright Teal stood out too much so went for a darker colour. Anodized purple.
Hoping I could get my summers fixed and ready before spring meet.

Its tough...really tough. Rains once and they are dirty. The inside is the hardest because when you wash your car you have to make sure there is no water left or else when you drive the dirty water flings all over the rims and leaves black drip marks all over them. But my god to they ever pop when they are clean

I see you around Langley quite a bit, you work at Subaru or is that just a weird coincidence!?

Worked in sales at Subaru for the past year. Now I'm trying out domestics and moved next door to Ford (free marketing plug :hotbaby:). I also live Cloverdale so makes sense we cross paths often.

A shitload of this stuff, basically half a bottle per wash/detail :badpokerface:

Installation complete! Rear subframe is just under 3 inches off the ground. Front fitment is exactly what I wanted, rear fitment is way off, wheels are super sunken in, will need 15mm spacers and more fender work (essentially cutting off my entire inner fender and cutting off more of the outer fender).

Fronts are a 2-finger gap, rears are barely 1-finger. Haven't decided if I want to raise the rear to match the front, or lower the front more if it's possible to lower even more.

Shitty potato pics, haven't taken it out for some real driving to test out the coils yet, and yes I am aware that the drop is uneven, that will be sorted out this Friday. I will also be keeping the camber, I couldn't care less about tire wear as these tires only cost me $300 USD for a whole set, more camber was part of the plan.

camber looks weird on the element
i think needs more low
no finger gap pls

Raise the back over lowering the front. Will also help with the camber.

I can't believe you go through that much "back to black". I've been nursing the same bottle for like 10 years now. I even had a YJ with the big plastic flares. I guess I don't wash my cars enough :p

Why do you need camber on a element :suspicious:

:fuckthatshit:

Next stop: The Ridge, Andrew.
