Nice work on the wheels, I had wondered if they tapered in that area. I guess not.

I wanted an easy to see gear indicator. Works good with tap shift box. Also opened my eyes as to how quick I am out of first gear when I have the short tires on. Plugs right into OBD port.

Hmm, where did you get that indicator? I have the shifter box, but would be curious what gear I'm in when using it, too. Probably only use it if we were autocrossing or went to the drag strip, though, so a temporary OBD port plug-in would be optimal.

Nice work. Especially impressed with the rims. I want to do that to mine also. Sleeper looking but needing more traction. I have a build thread I'm about to post also. Almost done, complete engine and trans rebuild. Did the rims hold up well enough? I have a lathe and tig and could probably do them, I was just concerned about them holding up to the abuse of heavy foot driving.

Link for it is just above the picture - kinda hard to see

Rims are GREAT. I can't take credit for the welding - a friend of mine hooked me up

Now that my son is 17, he wants something 'unique'
(He's tired of driving my generic 2020 Crosstrek)

So I was lucky enough to find a V6 at auction for a nice price :D

It came with the lights and all? Man, that would be illegal here, especially after what happened here in Nova Scotia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Nova_Scotia_attacks. In fact, the RCMP has stopped selling their old PCs to the public even if they are stripped.
2011 Caprice PPV, former RCMP test vehicle, never put into service
