Snowy, I would recommend installing your original parts and selling your mods on NASIOC or toronto-subaru-club. It is a bit tough to sell modified WRX; it usually sells for LESS than their market value, especially if you had some power mods.

I was thinking about that yesterday. It would probably cost me +/-$800 to put back the OEM equipment back on. I would leave the Walbro 255 lPH Fuel Pump and STi 565cc Fuel Injectors in. I could recover most of that selling the parts.

I am a member of the TSC I posted my quandary on the site. I have received many responses and e-mails regarding the mods and methodology in removing them to prepare my car for lease return and/or trade. One was from a very accommodating Subaru dealer in Southern Ontario. This may work out better than I anticipated.

Ok.  I just went to Tire Trends and entered in Legacy GT for a search.  The result says no 17", 18" wheels available.

Why is it so hard to get wheels for Subarus?   :(

They would fit the SL and be a little cheaper too. Not quite as much fun!

Very few manufactures have the proper off-set that is required on “real” awd vehicles.
