Been a While / SLC-Ralliart's Phoenix Red Sled
Well its been a while since I posted some pics. Had some new wheels put on over the summer so I thought I would put an update out. Mods are as follows:
Drag DR-31 White Wheels
Custom Intake
RRM Underdrive Pulley
RRM Rear Sway Bar
Vinly overlay on tails
Besides that its pretty much stock. I always liked the looks of stock Ralliarts so no need to change much. Probably no mods to come as I may be looking to sell next year to move into an older E36 M3 or maybe an Evo or STI.
The car has been fantastic. 59K Miles and no problems. Just did the timing belt and valve lash and she runs like new again.
Enjoy.

Looks amazing man! Is that stock height or are you on springs? Also specs on rims and tires?
I was thinking of these a while back. Anyways again looks great bro.

Tires are Riken Raptors. Riken is supposedly either owned by Michelin or by a company that bought the molds from Michelin. My Dad ran them on his Acura TL and had no complaints plus they are dirt cheap. They are not the best but great for commuting and the occasional spirited driving.
Suspension is all stock minus the rear sway bar. I was going to do springs when my stock shocks went but I have been fortunate to not have any blow yet. It is surprising since Utah salts the roads all winter long. People always think my car is lowered but I guess that is just the nice factory stance.
Let me know if you have any other questions. I have been on this forum for what seems like forever.

yeah I remember you since I joined, I believe you had read painted stock rims once. Yeah I heard of Riken Raptors before and was thinking how good they are, so I guess I'll grab those. Soon I'm getting Rota Grids 17x7.5 +48 but going to run a 20mm spacer to make them "aggressive." Probably lower on springs until I save up to get coilovers to slam the car. Your rear is still doing great...mine is sagging =(
