i did not have to roll the fenders for the speed6 wheels to fit, but since i have coils i had them roll the fenders to make sure no matter what wheel i end up with or height i set the car at, the car the fenders are already done. I also use a 215/35 tire since that is the closest to OEM tire size.

What about wheel spacers did you have to add them to your hubs to fit these wheels?

i ran them for ages without a spacer with no issues. only reason i added the spacer was to bring the wheel out a bit more instead of being very sunk.
 
evan i tried to get an acceleration video tonight, and it was really good but the video format got ****** up and the sound and video are all screwed up

Let's be honest, AJ. JT's build > your build. I wasn't asking you for video, sucka. haha. (just kidding around. kinda)
 
So fresh and so clean clean!

thanks

looks good. thats talent to get the mazda logo and dohc logo ground down that flush. very nice

AJ that cover has been on my car for a year that way, all it takes is a flap disk on a grinder and a few mins and the letters are gone..

its the posts and all the unneeded parts that were shaved that took me sending it away to someone with some crazy skills to do, plus the powdercoating...
 
Looks like plasma-cut out of some unfinished HRS. Neither gives a desired finish, which is why all of my spacers have been 100% machined after the first batch was plasma-cut.

ya either way it sucks for the amount of money he is selling them for. If i would have know what the finished product was i would have had on cut on a CNC locally.

well productive half day in the garage,

managed to clean and lube both rear calipers
POR15 the entire floor inside and out
seam sealed some of the interior, need to get more seam sealer
grease my rear sway bar bushing while the car is in the air
cleaned the rear rims inside and out, since they were off the car
cleaned the underside of the car where i was not rust proofing to make sure its still in good shape
cleaned all the rear suspension while i had the brakes apart
swapped in new rear SS lines


all that's needed now is to finish seam sealing my interior and then i can lay down the soundproofing before i swap in my new interior parts.

plus all the work under hood and wiring...

did not take too many pictures but did manage to get a few, would rather work then take pictures

and our BBQ from earlier in the week that slowed down the work on my car this week

That's a lot of meat...

ya the bacon was just to smoke it so that we could eat it the rest of the week, and the sausages most that were not eaten went into the freezer so i can have bbqed sausages faster then lighting the BBQ late at night when i get out of the garage or work.

caffeine problem? (stash)

No I don't drink coffee.... But most of the people who come visit do and I keep the empty clean never used cups for nuts and bolts.

But I also have lazy coffee drinking friends who think crash bars are coffee tables...
