Maxx Mazda's 2011 Build Thread

[Maxx Mazda]

For **** sakes... On the way home today hit something sharp on the road, put a hole in my left rear tire. Tire deflated immediately and as such, the rest of the sidewall was ruined before I could even stop the car. Tire is completely ******. New tire is at least 3 days away (so Monday now) and these GeForce T/A's are NOT CHEAP! Put a stock 16" on for now, I'll stick to driving the LX for the next few days...

Finger to show scale.

Damn bro, sorry to hear that. At least your rim is ok.

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Yeah rim is fine, but apparently these tires are really hard to find here in town in my size. I have two more places to check tomorrow locally.

It's not just your town, its all of North America. Huge ass tire shortage right now. The earth quake in Japan, as tragic as it is, really made it hard to get any kind of tires. One of my friends ordered tires last week, not expecting to get them in till the end of summer.

Ouch, that sucks man. At least the cars mostly done, wish mine was lol

Yeah, but since theirs no tires coming from Japan everyone is switching to American tires but its become overwhelming to the factories and thus they've become rare and hard to find as well. Its a vicious cycle.

[Maxx Mazda]

Thanks for posting the pics Glen! But why isn't your MSP in any of them?

Maxx your car is looking extreme Sick as usual man, My only concern is Wheels.. I think those wheels don't match how good the overall of the car is....

Your car needs a more aggressive set of wheels, maybe 18's too....

Nice and clean man! Just one question... whats with the missign bolt on the dp?

It broke off. Need to drill it out and put a new one in I guess.

No. I like the white, and the practicality of 17's. Trying to stuff heavy ass 18's in there is too "Donk" for my style. I build my car for me only.

I have no doubt that each of us does things like each like... Changing the subject a little, I will PM you if you don't mind pics of my PAR Racing Helical 3rd Gear set for you to check it out...I've been talking with them for the past months and i might do all of the Tranny inside Helical depending what they say about if running Reinforcements cups fixes the gear breakage in our Transmissions. I don't know you might be interested on having some stronger gears that don't make noise and last long and hold HP

BTW i should receive my gear next week,

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Like I said in your thread, PAR gears really do not interest me. For what they want for a gearbox that people have STILL broken, I could buy and build 7 full GTX transmissions. My current GTX box has lasted 3 years. (Knock on wood.)
