    Just remember to practice safety. You have no idea where that muffler has been when you're not around.

    what kind of tires did you have on the element and do you remember the size? I like those!

    the wheels were Cragar D-window 15x8 -13mm offset, I think the tires pictured were Kumho Solus 225/70/15. I had 4" chrome bullet center caps too

    you are taking me way back! On the Element that had before the one pictured, I had BFGoodrich Radial T/A. Same exact setup. This picture was around 2010 haha!

    It's a work in progress. See my build thread.
    That's probably the coolest Element I've ever seen (noticed)!

    that was number one. Ended up like this:

    2462C2BD-A010-4E18-AD2C-C0B640281C08-429_73741ae07d2153341f5c3d08b0cefd5cde5c39ef.jpg

    Then I went through a WRX wagon, and a 95 2wd Taco, and then went to another Element. That one ended up like the one in the first post.

    David you had a wrx? How'd you like it? I've been eyeballing the STI lineup for a little bit (no wing, of course). Starting to get the itch. Maybe in a year or two.

    I had an 05 sti and it was nothing but issues. I'd never buy a used Subi ever again. But new wouldn't be bad.

    thats what I think I did with mine. It was an 04 WRX wagon. Had several ebay "upgrades". Plus the fact that I had never had a turbo car before, I went crazy with the blow off valve. And in turn, I was getting 12mpg on premium. I also had a mystery coolant issue. Only had the car for 6 months.

    Yea I like the look you did on the Element. I actually have had to drive my mother-in-law's Element while I do some work on my Tacoma. They said when I give it back they were going to put it up for sale. Looking at yours, Im now thinking about buying it off of them haha:p

    Here was mine. It was my dream car. I would have kept it if it wasn't a lemon. All it had was a blowoff valve.

    haha. The element is a nice and underrated vehicle. The waterproof interior was awesome! It can haul almost anything, and camping is great too!

    The green one with the lights is supercharged, and you can see the pop up camper conversion on the other one at the forum meet I was at.
