From my turbo research overlap is 'the' killer in getting the most out of a forced induction motor. So I put down a small list of potential cams, and saw this:

GSC S1s are Intake 11mm and Exhaust 10.5mm lift on a 268 lobe. So that supported the idea of a smaller Exhaust lift in order to promote a little more low end flow to get the turbo spooled. Turbo spooled = usable power now.

Cosworth M1s are 10.2mm Intake and Exhaust on a 268 lobe.
Hmm, that's way interesting, I never researched it that deeply. Very cool info.

And yeah, it's unfortunate I never put my cams in, or we would have at least one person who went from TBE/tune to TBE/cams/tune.

i had no idea Evo's didn't have cruise control until I had to drive back to Kansas from Utah. I called up my buddy asking were the button was, all he did was laugh and hang up.

However I have seen some really good wheels done with a nice pre-packaged automotive paint followed up by a low-gloss satin clear - durable stuff. The other good news is if you ever scrape your wheel set, you can play some buff games, and repaint as a touch up.
What was your car color again?

+1 / REALLY depends on the color of the car imo. Mine are Powder Coated and were done for $50/each wheel. Not too bad when you think about how much more durable powder coating is over paint.

You know I drove them both and I have never been disappointed, only reason I would like an STI is to build one since I have already done an Evo. But I love my Evo.
