KW Build Thread

Went to the car show today. Tons of fun. But got beat out for best mazda by a really sweet RX-8. Got some pics to post.
 
They are coming. I'm gonna upload them to my computer real quick. Just got home not long ago. Show got interrupted by a tornado! Haha there was some racing going on too. Fastest car was a crazy modded Eclipse Talon ran a 7.84
 
I'm going to one this Saturday.. first show of the year up here. I don't think it's supposed to be too hot, but I may bring it in the kit. Plus, I have Portuguese blood in me, so I tan nice haha
 
Didn't get a whole lot of great ones as I was busy advertising for a friends media group. But people were so stoked to see a bagged 2 here in KS. Got a lot of ideas and suggestions from others who were bagged as far as my trunk setup. Too quote a judge who didnt know it was bagged till he got to the hatch "ohhh holy s***!"
 
And apparently my car has been talk of the town as of late. Soo many people came up and said they had already heard so much about it. I'm just getting started.
 
Same thing for me too man.. It's because we're going this stupid with a Mazda 2.. A lot of people don't even know what it is, let alone seeing a modded one!
 
I'll be posting pictures shortly, posting more than just my car though. Show off some of my competition only entered Best Mazda and Stance show you which won those.
 
Few shots of mine.

These guys came over at the wash before the show, and were like "is this the 2 that's bagged?"

Nice. Feels good when people recognize the hard work you put into your car, eh? :)
 
Wow, your car looks SERIOUS. I'm loving the Compes the more I see them. And I already love them when I saw the new version to be released months ago... Making me think about switching up myself!!! Thanks for posting pics, really cool to see meets around the country this way.
 
Feels so good! Makes it all worth it.
Inspekt the Compes are amazing. Look way better in person ask Font! The color looks great with the Spirited Green.
 
Yeah man, definitely a nice feeling, for sure.

I'm gonna take a stab at why you're rear isn't as low as the front.. is the rear bag too tall to get it to tuck harder, at full deflate?

Negative Camber helps too.. did you take a shot at the washer trick?
 
Well I still haven't rolled my rears. So after that I may be able to tuck but the rears don't get much lower. Only way I could get it lower is a shorter rear strut.
 
Right now when I air out the rear sits on the tire. Once I roll it it should tuck. But getting it lower may not be feasible without getting a smaller rear strut
