Replying to: lilbluewgn02 (May 29, 2009 6:29 pm) nice find. Virtually impossible to find on Nabisco these days, classic look in WRB Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 01, 2009 12:21 pm) lucien2 (Jun 01, 2009 3:16 pm) lilbluewgn02 (Jun 01, 2009 4:58 pm) ateixeira (Jun 02, 2009 10:32 am)

Replying to: lucien2 (May 30, 2009 1:30 pm) Agreed. Rare and nice because they fit big brakes that usually require wheels an inch bigger in diameter. Opens up some options and keeps the unsprung weight down. Sweet WRX. Replies to this message: lucien2 (Jun 01, 2009 3:16 pm) lilbluewgn02 (Jun 01, 2009 4:58 pm) ateixeira (Jun 02, 2009 10:32 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 01, 2009 12:21 pm) plus they were 16x7 and pretty light. Basically STi v2 (?) wheels. Then when we finally got the wRX here, it arrived with heavier 16x6.5 wheels. Wow, remember those days? When the coolest Sube was a 2.5RS and everyone was trying to turbo them.....seems like ancient history now.

Replying to: lucien2 (Jun 01, 2009 3:16 pm) Yep, I like them a lot; paid only $650 shipped for the wheels and a set of Dunlop SP Sport 5000 with lots of tread left. I had those mounted on my oems and put the Bridgestone RE960 AS tires on the golds.

Replying to: lucien2 (Jun 01, 2009 3:16 pm) I remember it like it was yesterday, in fact I had more free time back then so I spent more time on cars as a hobby in general, vs. now. Nowadays it's Mario Kart Wii with my son.

This is a rehash of my comment in Tom's Corner Garage: Avoiding Summer 'Meltdowns'. Basically, I parked the Outback outside for a couple of days and the pen that I keep in my gas log book in the visor baked and leaked out. Naturally it was blue ink, so it doesn't blend in too well with the black leather seats. More character marks (don't tell Wes, lol). I called about a nice sounding Miata today in BRG and tan. Only $2,000 too high but I was thinking it was a one owner cream puff from the description. Turns out that the owner has just had it for one year. It's another California car (but from inland!).

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 03, 2009 10:37 pm) Will baking soda absorb some of it? The leather probably soaked some of it in, though. Replies to this message: steve_ (Jun 04, 2009 7:20 am) xwesx (Jun 04, 2009 8:41 am) ladywclass (Jun 04, 2009 9:53 am) volkov (Jun 04, 2009 11:18 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 04, 2009 6:40 am) The drops got baked in for at least a day before I discovered it. Most of the cleaning sites recommended rubbing alcohol, but we didn't have any. My wife found some Swimmer's Ear in the medicine cabinet that's mostly alcohol and that helped quite a bit. I didn't want to get too aggresive and make it worse by leeching out the dye on the leather. Some baking soda probably would help though - probably would help keep any ink from rubbing off on my pants. Stuff happens.

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 04, 2009 7:20 am) Haha; that it does, but who would ever have thought it would be that?! Not that this has anything to do with the topic at hand, but I embark on my trip south tomorrow night! I will contact you and Brenda for phone #s so I will be able to keep in touch as we progress on our trip. I doubt I will be logging in from the road, as we are going to be camping on this go round. It is always nice to think we will travel as planned, but with two children and 205,000 miles, anything can happen! Replies to this message: ladywclass (Jun 04, 2009 9:53 am)
