God I'm ridiculously jealous of your collection of wheels. 2 sets of rays sti te37s, s202 sti rays, BBS REs, and my all time favorites 22b STI BBS wheels. I honestly think you have the nicest collection of wheels on WSC. Wish I could afford the 22b's you have for sale

TonyT · « **Reply #33 on:** February 24, 2013, 03:42:52 am »

Wow.

I didn't even know sti made so many different wheels. And you obtain them like there going out style. Baller! Lol

not all of them there is 2 sets i am missing in 5x100 that i wish i had. 5x114 there just boring all the same nothing original any more from subarus glory days.

so this is a rear 1986 Subaru control arm, when adding wide wheels with low offsets like Subaru loves it can rub on the rear arm on this old car.

here you can see how much room i have to play if I put on a 17x7.5JJ ET53 stock subaru wheels that can fit Brembo brakes, also the front is not like this its normal Subaru style up front on this car so any wheel is ok

so what have I come up with ! simple easy is flip the arm around to the other side ! looks like the little Leone can put the rubber down to the ground now, 225/45/17 and i could use STi Brembo brakes now for the extra stopping power.

Hey !!!!! why stop there

? Lol... lets pull out a STi 22B BBS wheel and see if we can add the monster wheels on the Leone so 235/40/17 17x8.5JJ ET48 even fits !! guess its time to show some people how its done on the track this year !

now i am really excited to pull the car out and see if this all works out perfect.

GC8REX · « **Reply #44 on:** March 19, 2013, 09:11:48 pm »

Haha okay just checking, not something you'd want to forget.

Why are there two inlets on each of the valve covers? I'm just curious as mine has a single PCV vent off each one

Guglianoh · « **Reply #45 on:** March 19, 2013, 09:21:30 pm »

They won't leak right away haha I work with a lot of old air cooler Porsches and they have magnesium.... Everything even engine case halfs, magnesium is very light but its very fragile. After long period of time and endless heat cycles it warps and I've even seen it leak through covers.... Not around the gasket, this is how porous it is. Treat it like aluminum when torquing it is very soft.

thanks man, the covers I got them from rhdjapan.com

pretty crazy how the STi magnesium valve covers are so dark inside

also need add a air port fitting for the s300sx it was same for my s200sx, ill add it where that top bump with numbers are on top left corner.
