    Same here, I've been so preoccupied with everything else, Ive neglected my Taco responsibilities. And I have no Tinder debacles to speak of since (as everyone has put it) Ive met my future wife.

    Think I'm going to order some hubcentric rings. Ever since I rotated them I've had vibes again. My ATX wheels are 108mm bore. Thoughts Randy?

    I think that would help! I wanna say our hubs are 106 mm. I imagine they’re cheap, so might as well give it a try.

    The next question is polycarb or aluminum?

    I’d probably just go with whatever is cheaper. I’d worry about the aluminum seizing to the steel hub

    13 bucks for them. I ordered new rotors and front pads as well. Mine are milled down too much for my comfort now.

    What are hubcentric rings? Do I need them?

    Will they make me go faster? Or go up boulders with ease? Can I get them in pink?

    Absolutely make you go faster and climb easier, but best of all they will increase the size of some body appendages (SFW).

    Hubcentric rings are the sorta washers that go on the axles in the center to make up for the larger bore holes in some aftermarket wheels.

    That blue ring.

    Even though the studs are in the holes of the wheel there is still some play and the hubcentric rings removes that play. Some aftermarket wheels like SCS are designed with OEM bore dimensions. So in that case, rings are not needed.

    Installed an OEM WRX muffler today. As you can see, my factory muffler was a bit rough. No clue wtf the previous owner was doing, but as you can see there’s some shoddy exhaust work. Had to trim the bumper to get the dual tips to fit, but I’m no stranger to that. Also had to remove and reinstall it 3 times to get the exhaust hangers bent correctly so it was centered. A hair crooked, but at least I won’t melt my bumper. As a bonus, it’s a little louder now.
