Looks great! Thinking of doing the same. I drive from CT to NY all the time and twice I struck a pothole so hard that I thought I completely cracked the front rim in half.

Well I can't think of another car that offers a manual transmission, turbo, similar engine characteristics (low torque down at lower rpms, surges in the middle of the rev range, and tapers up top), high seating position, AWD, wide body, great brakes, a traditional handbrake, budget car interior...

Can you post a pic or two? Do you have a side shot of the whole car?

What size did you opt for?

I wish Mitsubishi kept up with the Lancer Evolution. I owned an Evo 8 and what a great car! I haven't driven a GR Corolla but it seems somewhat like a spiritual successor.

IMHO, I wouldn't mess with the mounting hardware. The FL5 has been designed and crash tested to withstand high G impacts using OEM bolts and nuts. You risk having those pieces fail during a critical incident. Should someone get hurt because of aftermarket hardware, you leave yourself open to...

Did you try lowering the steering wheel and pulling it out towards you? ?

I leave all of my cars either in the street or driveway and I don't have an alarm. If someone is trying to steal my car I'm going to let them. It's not worth getting shot or shooting someone over a car. Everyone carries guns these days. Car theft is rampant, even in the most well healed towns...

Woops, was skimming at work and missed that. 1) GTI refresh 2) Civic Hatch

It’s obvious you put a lot of thought into making the car “yours”. It’s an excellent build! Photo skills are great too.

Not feeling the rain guards but everything else is fire! I love the mud guards, extremely clean car!

1) GR86 2) Civic Si 3) Wait for the GTI Refresh

Not being rude but how do you know this? Where are you getting the 70% number from exactly?

Is walking away from the car something you would consider? I'd personally would walk away from it, even if it meant waiting 6 more months.

I love the look of the stock knob, but once you feel the temperature difference in the dead of winter and the middle of summer you will appreciate the leather knob.

I had my PPF guy do it. I think someone on here posted a video that showed the proper install, which included taking the console off.

Anyone know what the stock FL5 rim weighs?

Damn, that’s pretty impressive

Being that I’m still breaking the car in, I wanted to see how much I could stretch a gallon. Drove from Flushing Ny to New Haven CT (about 60 miles) and averaged 55-65 mph depending on traffic and hills. I will never drive this way after break-in but thought it was interesting.
