Project Halle

I bought this in Sept 2004 for $2000 off an old man that was a subaru mechanic. He bought a wrx and wanted to get rid of the 240. The body is in good condition with very few small dents. Interior is clean-except for the badly cracked dashboard, which I have replaced(got lucky and found a black one at a junkyard). It had a front strut bar(don't know what brand), and a K&N intake filter, and a speed governor/rev limiter bypass chip. No leaks/rust on the trunk-it has the foam wing(although a guy recently offered $30 to buy it tho lol). Bought a new deck for it-it had a jvc and I opted to go with an alpine(can't remember the model) that controls the ipod. Just installed a momo corse steering wheel with a quick release that my gf bought.

Zeix are decent but no match for the touge (personal experience and from what I've seen)

Arctic and Incertain can confirm that.

But for daily stuffs they're not a bad tire

They're ok for daily. They hold up pretty decent in the rain too. I've gone 80 on freeway and no hydroplaning of any sort.
