Picked up some new wheels for the Legacy today, $100 including tyres, although not the greatest tyres...
Found yesterday I had a big leak in one of my 'barely legal' tyres on the steelies, so figured I'd get something better.

Hahaha, this car actually doesn't have one from factory, NZ new for the win [emoji14]

Also finally got the 6a13 on the engine stand, was a pain to do by myself, having never done it before.

Solid effort! Are you rebuilding at all before it goes in the FTO?

Getting it all fitted into the FTO, exhaust made up, intercooler piping done etc, then pulling everything out for a rebuild.

Well that's the plan anyway...

Why go to the effort of removing it again when you can do it now while it's already out?

Would it make a difference if they want to see how things sit to get them fabricated, or is that fairly irrelevant since you can measure where things go?

Because I don't have the money to rebuild it all now, and it gives me something to do in the meantime. Otherwise everything will be sitting loss in the garage for the next 6 months.

I swear someone needs to start up a small loans business with reasonable interest rates, that allows people to finish car projects and pay earlier and pay the amount off in chunks. :lol:

Pretty much that, I want to get it all mounted, so piping etc can be made up, whilst I save to buy the LSD, and such.
