Post The Best Pictures of Your Mazda

i dont think i heard what your goals were. i just mounted mine back up for the summer. what do you plan on running? spacers? tires?

finally we agree on something. this is exactly my goal with the FDs.

ROFL! I mean, as we know, I like a little 'show' with my 'go'. I mean its a performance vehicle, so why not flaunt it a bit? That said, once your 'show' starts negatively affecting the functionality and performance of the car, then I have a big problem with it...

The opposite is somewhat true too. If you're going to modify a vehicle to increase its performance, there's no reason why it can't look good at the same time. Nothing drives me up the wall more then mix-matched parts and rough edges

agressive tire size for those. what suspension are you on? i have 215/45's mounted on my fd's, with 3mm spacers.

thats actually OEM size, its only aggressive for our cars. LOL

spool springs up front, stock MSP besides that. and flyin, totally agree.

and to go with flyin's 25G pics:

looking forward to pics and impressions

curious if they'll fit without rubbing, too... i have about 1/4" clearance to the rear strut with the 215/45's.

the MSP spring perch has more clearance, only thing I'm worried about is the rear fender lips but with the offest it should still be ok by about 5mm

 

[FlyinHawaiian]

Yeah, I'm curious on how the car is going to sit with iON race springs and 15mm spacers. I've not seen what iONs look like on a MSP, so I have no idea how low its going to sit...

Thanks guys. Let's keep this thread on topic. Awesome shots Flyin!

its not the spring perch, but the actual strut body to the tire side-wall clearance.


and, see attached. got the summers mounted with the help of my assistant.

god that looks so good. I need to get on this s*** like NOW. RH's need to go on soon either way though.

that is a nice look with those wheels. and i like how subtle the ES wing is

 

[njaremka]

thanks. i like the FD wheels. they still "Look" stock, but not exactly. they really only get attention from those "in the know". i had the car at the grand am races at wtkins glenn last year, and i only had one person come and ask about them. and only because he was an RX7 fanatic.

 

[roy obanion]

The FD wheels look amazing, nik. And what is your suspension setup?
