        Bo, I haven't picked the car up yet, but I commited to buying it, and the seller told the other people that are interested in it that it's sold, so it's pretty much mine. I'm going to be driving 7.5+ hours tommorow to go and pick it up. It's in Cincinnati, Ohio, a few states away from me, but I couldn't go wrong for the price. And I thank Chris (Turpro) for finding for me. And Atomic, those are craigslist photos, not my own. So I can't get any more pictures of the subaru.

            And, I finally ordered some camber plates for mine. My Cusco plates are bent, and I've been meaning to have a water jet place cut me some 1/4" Mild steel replacements... Instead I found 1/2" Aluminum Billet CNC'd plates. They are for another vehicle, but appear to be very close to BG mounts in size. If it works well enough, I will do a writeup.

              Not hard. Milled 3mm off per side of the rear knuckles, and lengthened the distance between the holes a touch on the coil over. The fronts are off by about a hole so they got the bottom hole slotted. And I believe they are too wide by 3mm a side, so he added spacers. The upper mounts he would have to explain. I think he took a few pictures of the process.

                Yeah. Pics and a write-up would be nice. Part number or model would be good too. I was actually looking at a 2.5rs in the junkyard on Tuesday, the struts looked to be close to BG, but I'm not sure. Didn't test fit.

                        What I do is bend a piece of tin metal into a sort of chute and put it under the filter, and funnel the oil down into a pan. Still makes a mess, but not as big of one.

                          Hey all, I just putting this out there im interested in uprading my front brakes and im looking at my options. I was told by a buddy that has a miata that wilwood makes a kit for the fronts and its reasonably priced, hoping they swap over to our BGs. so I just wanted to see what you guys thought about this.
                          Anyone knows what 9K rpm feels like? I do

                            they will not swap over easily.

                              Option one 5 lug swap for mx6 then you can run Mazdaspeed 6 brakes
                              Option two talk to jim pierce motorsports he has a wildwood set up on his EGT that you can copy or by his set up at a price
