'09 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart
In need of a wheel upgrade, we went to Ark Design for their new, completely un-Audi R8. An eight spoke design, the R8 feature a "balance ring" that provides rigidity and strength, perfect for a daily driver like the Ralliart. For sizing, we went with 19x8.5 on all corners. Look for a detailed build, soon.

The hotel is closed! Not only did the Miata recently get a new steering rack, partial bushing set and brakes, but in a move sure to piss off every cat/raccoon/vagrant within a three-block radius from Import Tuner headquarters, I replaced its torn/nonexistent top. No more hopping into a mysteriously warm seat after a late night at work, or reaching into my center console to discover that my stash of car wash tokens had been cleaned out . . . again. I even steam cleaned the interior, too, and was almost able to rid the roadster of its elusive urine ambiance. Almost.

Here's a teary eyed photo of smoke and fire billowing from the engine compartment of my STI while competing in the STI Vs. EVO Challenge. I have yet to pinpoint what caused the failure, but in the meantime, I'll drive around my trusty old Civic.
