Nice!! You bought Evans wheels huh?? They look great!!! I gotta see it in person at some point. Great start!!!

 

[Boynton4]

Yeah I bought his rims.. Spent some money getting them straightened and new tires on as well. They're good as new! I'll be in Waldoboro next weekend, and would like to check out your FXT as well

 

[IBratmanI]

I should be around part of next weekend, I'll be busy most of Saturday, but maybe Sunday, we could meet up. If not, I'm sure you'll be in the neighborhood again! I bet you already notice it handles better with those wheels!!

Nice 2.5 and those wheels look great. Do you have any other plans for the car?

Welcome. i-wagon flaps look good. I'll have to park next to you at a meet. Nice clean BRP 2.5 and my beat to hell and back dirt/tar/everything BRP 2.5.

I was thinking about calling this car your car's younger, virgin, clean-shaven brother Dan!

Hah, I shouldn't part next to it, or even talk to this guy, I might give him too many ideas of how to have fun with his car

I've actually got a friend in Cape who has an 04/05 2.5 in BRP as well. He's not a huge car guy and it's a commuter mostly, so I haven't badgered him to get on here.

I have a set of Epic Springs and Epic rear swaybar on order. Short throw shifter is installed, but I need to install the bushings. Add in a little tint and audio and I'm calling it good.

Of course if any parts break, i'll have to replace with performance parts

I'm generally staying away from engine mods, just sticking with the wheels and suspension area.

Gooooooood plans. Sounds like a great setup. If the shift bushing is the Shift Stay bushing, those are STUPIDLY easy to install, and they firmed up my shifter a ton (125k miles = all my bushings rotted).

love the rims and the setup that you are planning on running!

A lot of folks say that engine mods for cars like ours' is a waste of time and I agree. Tires and good suspension upgrades are where its at with the 2.5. I'm thinking about some shifter bushings for my car too...I bought the short throw when the car was new...so I didn't get the bushings.

The shift stay bushing is like 30 bucks at Evergreen. It takes care of all the horizontal slop, which I had a ton of. It's stupid easy to swap out.
