            Thanks Ryan! The wheels on the white car? I like them, and they are in perfect shape.

              He means the snowflake reps;) was that harlequin at Scooters last year? If so it looked great. Were they all polished faces with each wheels painted a different color between the spokes? And Ben, do you know what wheels the white car is currently rocking? I likes them;)

                    Got some parts from kurt this weekend, some random trim, a set of ellipsoids, an ix booster and some other small stuff. At this point I am just trying to figure out how far to go with the motor rebuild.

                      How far should I go with this motor re-build? Do I really need to do the main and crank bearings? or is that just extra money and time and work for something that really isn't a wear item anyway? Same question with piston rings, I would assume piston rings would be a decent idea, but is it really needed? I know I need to do a valve job and an MLS Gasket and ARP studs, because I am going to boost prep the motor while I am in there anyway, and if I can source s50 cams those would go in at the same time I think but who knows anymore. I picked up a laptop the other day after selling my desktop to TJ, so that was a good amount of money that could have been used in the swap, but you kind of need a computer to sell things efficiently, and realOEM does not work on my phone ;)

                      All in all, progress is being made (kind of)

                        I guess, if I were in the same position (which I will be eventually as I rebuild the wrx motor), if you have the cash and the part isn't crazy expensive, i'd replace it.. The peace of mind + knowing you're hoping for big HP #s = I'd replace just about any moving part that you can.

                          To be rebuilt you need new bearings and rings. That's all a rebuild it. Lol I would replace them because theyre a good price and add the piece of mind:P

                              Just for bearings and rings? You don't need a rebuild kit. Lol

                              $300 is the absolute most. Lol Probably more so $200ish

                                  Nope. It's not hard to do either if you already have it apart;) and it gives you that brand new motor confidence.
