Default Update on the SC400

Sorry I haven't been on in a while guys, I've been making some adjustments to the new SC and wanted to see what you guys thought. Here's an attached picture of the new wheel and tire combo I've got on it. I bought them off of a buddy for what I'd say is a good deal. They were originally on his STi. 18x9.5 Enkei rpf1's painted dark blue wrapped in a brand new set of Nitto NR555. I gave him $1,000 for the set up and it looks pretty mean now! I also had a question about AT pan capacity, and what is the exact amount I need to pour back in after draining the pan? Thanks for the help in advance guys, hope yall like the car.

Have you tried rolling the fenders. Should get rid of all rubbing issues.

Nice set of tires. I want the exact set when I buy my 18's. The rears are +35 offset and 9.5.

Yea these rpf1's I got are +38 and it fills the fender wells out very nicely. Still having some rubbing issues, but I think it's about time for a new set of struts for the rear. When I get my income taxes back I'm going to be looking for a nice axleback exhaust like the Beluga or maybe Borla. Also gonna be doing either a BFI or something like an Injen.

Yea I was to surprised when I saw the car, and it had the front lip spoiler in perfect condition. It's the little things like that were in good shape that really caught my eye on mine. I do need trunk lift supports, new vent trim piece, and either recovers on the seats or just put some different seats in. My leather on the shift handle and parking brake cover need replacing. Other than that probably new outer tie rods and she'll be good to go 👌

I went and looked at the clazzio website and $500 for a complete set of re-covers is a deal if it comes with the rear seat cover too! I will definitely be doing that very soon, and the e brake cover from luxurymods has already been ordered, thank you sir! 😎
