[Wastegate13]

I put my BC's on saturday, and I put the rear as low as it could go and i put the front to about 2-1/2 to 3 threads showing from the bottom, the stance on it is so stout. The svn's are tucked nicely and I have an even 1 finger gap all around and no rubbage. BC coils FTMFW!

I want to hear more about that diffuser, and those rain guards are ebaydm specials, I had them before my jdmgoodie ones.

Do me a favor and measure the height at the fender, straight through the middle of the wheel front and back. I want to see how mine compares.

25 1/4 front
25 1/2 rear

Even though the front is lower height wise the rear has a slightly smaller gap. Optimally I could bring the front down another 1/2 inch and leave the rear as is. If I remove the lock ring on the front I could acheive it but something prevented the shock from turning before it even hit anyway.

Where the hell is madvillian? His car is way low on BC's.

off topic

wastegate,

24 1/2 front
24 3/4 rear

I have one of the rear lock rings removed, and the front slightly lower. It looks even though. The rears dont look 1/4 higher for some reason. I think its the wheel offset playing eye tricks...lol

EDIT: Ive had the fronts lower than they currently are, but it started to cut through the fender liner, into the fender weld up top. I dont suggest major tucking up front, it may look nice. But youll end up buying new tires as well as possibly crashing your car.

heres some pics from when it was that low!!!

back on topic now

Tire size will affect height/wheel gap won't it? And if you want an even stance, the rear will look lower than the front.

 

[CnoTataymo]

I just measured my fender height. On flat ground, it's 25" all around with RX-8 wheels on 225/40's and BC's all the way down with all collars/rings in. My car looks pretty much level, if anything, slight rake.

Yes tire size will play a role. Please go here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123757620

Yes sir. Haha.

 

[MM BOOST]

If you have a finger gap all around, you are not tucked.

For my setup, its perfect and to the point I want it, but thanks anyways.

I will try to measure my set up tomorrow man. I am running 18x8.5" rota svn's at +48 offset, with 235/40/18 tires as well.

 

[ericrapp]

so what are you folks running in the quarter mile these days? since the CB is actually the fastest model.

[daonly1around]

right lane scott? nice guess that FMIC made a little bit of difference

 

[08cosmic3]

It might have been the left lane, I don't remember.

 

[daonly1around]

well did you run a 12.1?????

 

[08cosmic3]

Then I woke up.

I went to the track today and only got to make 2 passes, crowded. I spun 1st gear badly as my 60 ft shows. I made up for it on the top end and the FMIC helped there. With practice I believe I can get her to 13.5

 

[Wastegate13]

Nice times Scott!! Not too shabby for an old guy.

PS: Do you have a DP?

I have a 14.2 slip from when the car was stock. Haven't been back to the track.

 

[ericrapp]

yes i got a fourteen .28 also when stock, i got another one today. I ran 13.7. with intercooler and CAI. Today i was running 21lbs with lots of bolt ons and a tune or two and tires. I did not even get out of the box till second gear. Timeslip. I was wtheck!? then back in the pits we found the culprit. The smell gave it away. My clutch. Last day for the track being open. I have my winter project now. s***. but it was just a matter of time i suppose. Do we have a wall of shame for horrible timeslips, i would like to be first to say i suck.

 

[sleeper3]

I ran a 13.3 with an intercooler, inlet, and intake. beat that.
