The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

I recognize the Enkie logo but does anyone know what the other symbol is that is cast into the wheel (the one at about 12:25) I see it on about every wheel.

I wonder that too, i've seen it on other wheels. Could be from the manufacturer, their logo put in the cast. Phen put in here somewhere that close 75% of wheels come from the same factory. (Same is true with higher end suits and other clothing by the way)
 
If you are talking about the JMC, it's the Japanese equivalent of our DOT (IIRC).
 
If all goes well by the end of March I might have a set of Speed3 springs being unused... And you are right about the 16" FDs--I was just throwing it out there! I like the 17" Miata wheels as well, that may be another good option.

This is what gave me the idea Larry--and the dude from MWMC who has them now. I think his name is Cosmic08. I'll try and dig up those pics. I still like it, despite how small they are. I also realize this is an MS3, so the suspension is a little lower...

Edit:
RX7 FD wheels 16x8 with Bridgestone RE-11's in 225/50/16. Black lug nuts with black center caps.

If I ever get a chance after coilovers, I'm pulling the trigger on a set of these and race slicks!

Just bought a voucher for 30 days of bootcamp classes...sounded good when i hit purchase, now I'm regretting it because I'm pretty lazy and gonna hate myself after the first day.
 
I don't like the FD's on the 3. They're just too small. You need at least 17's, IMHO. It's funny though on my Civics, 16's looked huge. I had a set of old VW Rabbit 14's on my EK that looked good on it. Go figure.

And what's the deal with Mazda3 guys putting "Mazdaspeed" stickers on their calipers?

They look decent on a lowered 3 with beefy tires, if only they were 17" lol
 
Hope some of you can help. yesterday I hit t the snow bank, and damaged bottom right side plastic scirt that runs from front to back wheel, right under or bellow b pillar. Im mad at my self because I was trying to turn right and squeez between this guy who was going straight, but took him like 2 minutes. I sort off climbed with my two right wheels on the snowbank, wich was more like iceberg and I heared scratching and crack!!! one part, like an inch caved in and there is also aslight dent and several scratches that peeld of the red color and now are black. Does any of you have the idea what is the best way to fix this and not pay dealer like $800? it is way too cold to go out now and check how the lip is attached to the car, by bolts or brackets? this realy bothers me so any help is appriciated!
 
kinda hard with out pics, but if you could happen to find someone parting out a red 3 or speed 3 (not sure who came with skirts) and replace with that, it could work

I really want to have the springs installed along with the sway bars before Mid-Ohio. Hopefully in time to get somewhat used to them. But if the deal falls through I will check with you.
 
I need to try that multi-quote thing huh. lol

I was thinking that as I read through your posts then I got to this one.

I hate being up this early, I'm usually half asleep while Amber watches the NBC morning show, but they had Janet Jackson on and I had to leave the room. She and her whole family are just crazy and their fake noses and other plastic surgery just look aweful.

How's everybody else's day so far?
