I want the Advanti Storm S1 also, they look amazing. My friend has it on his Miata and they fit well on the 2.
I forgot to take pictures when we did the fit test and road test on the race track. The wheels were 15x8" 25+ and there was no rubbing, but my fenders are rolled also.
He's getting 2 wheels 15x9" 35+ offset next summer, I will do a fit test and again a road test when he gets them. By that time I will have my Stroms S1 15x8".

I'm prob getting the same rotors than you and I want the CS pads. I wonder how they perform on the track.

New part

Braille 2015
My stock battery was starting to have higher than average voltage fluctuations , it was a good excuse to upgrade to a sealed glass mat and best of all, lighter battery . Our stock battery is no heavyweight it's only around 32lbs +/- I drive my 2 a lot and as a daily driver I didn't want to worry about start up issues or a quick discharge . So I opted for the Braille 2015 coming in at 15lbs it's less than half of the stock weight but maintains a respectable 425 cca . It's been installed 3 months and the longest it sat for was 7 days and it started on the first crank . If you turn the engine off and leave everything on you can watch the voltage drop on a meter , I never pushed it to much.

That's pretty rad, have you noticed any difference in handling? If I can find one for <$100 I'll snatch it up quick.

What is the stock CCA?

Where did you buy yours?

Looks perfect to make room for FI under the hood

No difference from the battery , but it's good to know that much weight is gone from so high up and on the drivers side.

I found this in the paperwork from the dealer , as tested the stock battery shows 370cca . I bought the battery from amazon , if you get it from Tirerack you get some extra freebies . When this one fails I will likely look at the Dekka battery's it is claimed they are similar if not the same . I know other members here have used them and they cost way less.

Barn find .... Sort of.

My old 89 GTUs was put in a barn in 2005 . I sold it to a friend and he never got around to it . The barn collapsed around the car this week , like a phoenix from the ashes it wants to live !

Ouch! Find a way. I wanted a FC as my first car. Got stuck with a base silver 88 Dodge Daytona . I always had a soft spot for those FCs.

Still looks like it's in one piece. Drop the 2's engine in it, and the 13b in the 2.

A Mazda 2 with a 13B would be a fun loud logistics nightmare/awesome. If it ever happens I'm putting this badge on it.
