So, it's been too long since we've updated the blog.  We had a family get together in Utah and I snapped a picture of Brent's 2004 WRX Wagon, Ben's 2010 Forester and Nick's e90 335i.

Just a quick update with Brent's cars, he finally sold off his 1994 Fobra Mustang and took a parting good-bye photo next to it.  It was a really cool machine.  It was a V6 base car with roll up windows originally.  A previous owner swapped in a 5.0 pushrod motor and then Brent took it over from there doing a bunch of suspension upgrades, bolt on motor stuff, removing some weight and adding some 18x10 wheels and 255/275 tires.  It was a killer touge machine for sure.  It will be missed.

Of course, Brent wasn't going to let the funds from the Stang go untouched and promptly bought a 16GXT turbo, big top mount intercooler from Mishimoto, STi pink injectors and the off the shelf tune from Cobb into his AccessPort.  He recently picked up some STi fog light covers and Grimmspeed WRB Blue paint.  Looks great.  Next up are the side skirts to get some WRB love as well.
Some early morning before work action...

The Rotas were recently revised with some World Rally Gold paint as well. he he

S197 Mustang + Rotas = FlushStang

So, my bro BurtRod and I have been benchracing an idea...adding 18x10's (or 18x9.5's) low-ish offset Rota wheels to an S197 chassis Mustang (2005-2010 for the chassis code clueless). Lots of parts, lots of used examples (especially V6 cars) and not many (read: any) are running this setup. What do you think? Leave a comment! Seen any stangs setup like this in your area?
