Nice to see an SW looked after and treated. Time now for 3sgte I reckon
All MR2s are 5x114.3. All Celicas/Caldinas/Coronas etc are 5x100. All old subaru's are 5x100 but for some reason i thought the latest subaru's were 5x114.3. But i could well be imagining it.
thankfuly it is none of anybodys fault, the mags were multi fits so had 2 different 5 stud stud patterns, one of which fitted the mr2 the other one fitted the suby.
i dont know what the labor cost would have been for this job but the paint was $300 + thinners and hardners.
Time now for 3sgte I reckon
i am tempted however i drive this thing pretty hard and it is amazingly quick for a na but i dont completely trust the reliability of turbos and im sure i wouldnt be able to handle the power and end up with a close incounter with a tree/power poll/house
