It was at least filmed here in GA.


Filmed in Georgia, based in Georgia. And we're proud of it.
And don't you forget it.

Well, more bad luck..
The insurance adjuster suggested getting an allignment since the car was dropped on it's rotors..
I went to firestone at 7:30 to get the allignment only to find out 3 hours later that I need new tires.
The belts are starting to show through and they can't even give the car an allignment.
(they have 40,000 miles on them + 20 autox runs on them... go figure)
I don't feel like forking out $130 for a set of new cheap tires right now..

So now I'm in a bind until I get some new wheels/tires..
The next set I see... is going on my car ASAP

5-lugs on a 4-lug sedan.. (doh)
I'd be all over them if I had an ES
 
what size tires do you need? i can probably get you a set of used tires through my shop...plus i have a say on what tires to change on used cars. LMK what size you need and i will keep a look out and i will let you know when to come in and we can get them put on and align your car

Awesome, thanks man.
195/55/15 is the stock tire size.

I should have a set of MSM wheels on tonight (yippy)
 
Got em. Thanks Ron!
Sorry Matty, I was desperately in need of new tires..and I didnt feel like forking-out $397.38 to replace the front two tires.
Firestone couldn't even give the car an allignment beacause the tires were so worn.

The red/silver combo isn't really my thing but it looks damn good in person.

Things left to do:
1) GET WHEEL LOCKS
2) Buy/install car alarm
3) Swap lights/grille with Adams black OEM stuff
4) Get TWM ss w/ kartboy bushings
5) Get OBX header + heat wrap
6) Cut tip off muffler and weld a plain pipe to it, paint flat black (sleeper)
7) 30% window tint
8) Powdercoat wheels gunmetal (ehh.. I dont think I will since they're mint)
9) Flywheel/clutch
10) WOMP/used MSP turbo kit
11) Get some big ass brakes
12) '03 MSP/MP3 body kit (staying wingless)

Kicking the guy who stole my wheel's ass is on top of my to-do list

Thanks guys.
I guess I'm the first protege owner with MSM wheels on.
I was a little worried that the center hole wouldn't be big enough, but they went on.

36Crazyfists, I replied through rep.
 
Those rims actually look rly good on that car. Lmk if you need an alignment so you dont have to pay firestone. Plus i will keep an eye out for tires just incase another mexican civic comes along (no disrespect to any mexicans there are just some real asses around here). Figured i would also let you know i have an alarm for sale however i would have no clue how to install it since i do not have a mazda wiring diagram
 
Those are so sweet on your car. Good things have come out of this experience. I am very glad to see you back on the road. Best of luck to you!

ok so wait you bought some msp wheels???
whats going on with the cops and s***
'04 MazdaSpeed Miata RacingHarts(4-lug).. completely different.
I couldn't even get an allignment and I didn't feel like forking over $400 to Firestone for 2 of the worst tires. So, I went for the first 4x100's I saw.

The detective is still working on the case though we don't have enough evidence.
If we were to send him to jail, we'd have to find the tire place where he swapped the wheels.
They can't do much because I can't prove he stole the wheels beyond reasonable doubt.
