595's are very sticky. I haven't tested of the yoko s drives but they seem like performance street tires. The 595's are setup for track day use and have a lower wear rating. But you are still able to drive the car home on them.

Looking good.

The 595 tires seem like a really good deal. I was planning to go with S Drives or BFG Comp Force IIs. But in 245/40/17. Both seem to go about 120-130 a tire

great job you have lots of skills in many subjects, are you two toning the car?

is that hx35 going to be a t3 w/ internal gate or gated from the o2 housing? if so i have a really nice manifold that is heat wrapped ill sell you for super cheap.

Wheels are dry and ready to install.

you will have to wait until summer then haha

with a good alignment I would say way more then that.

I will probably just do track days at Portland and the ridge with the various clubs that are out. BMW club,Porsche club,Subaru club,Mitsu club for auto X if i really wanted to compete i would have to bring it back to stock or close to it so I wouldn't be in the super modified classes.

Wheels look great Evan! I was always a big fan of the Evo 8 wheels on the GVR4. I gotta agree with Wop though, a set of gold wheels would really compliment that dark green. I know shitting out money for whatever wheels you want is something we all wish for, but gold RPF1s on that thing or bust!

I've had gold wheels on most of my old cars and wanted to change it up a bit. I had gold rota grids on my white 89 civic SI HB, gold wheels on my Levin converted AE86. As far as the tire. The sidewall does slightly come in but not that bad. I wouldn't put 245's on as that is overkill. The 225 45 will roughly be the same thickness as a 235/40 so it wouldn't be to bad.

Looks really good, Evan!

I will likely 235s since the 225s are only 4 dollars cheaper per tire if you don't mind me totally copying your setup. Might as well pick up that extra footprint for the minimal extra cost. That really is a super deal, the best I've seen in a long time. My car is hardly driven so it wouldn't see much tire wear over time.

Your car would look great with black hood, trunk, roof perhaps? The rest that green. You almost already have that theme going, ever considered it?

Did you gut your car? I am looking for some various interior pieces and hardware from the trunk and the passenger compartment.

Had a night of sewing the back seat back together. Sadly I forgot to take before pics. Figured I can't buy the EVO seats I want just yet but I can at least make the back seat look less trash.
