UnZipHer Mazda2 Build Thread

[UnZipHer15]

At font: I've reached out to every bag manufacturer in the world and they claim they have never made a kit until mine so I feel like I'm the first haha... I'll just claim "quite possibly" lol!

As far as the retrofit kit I went with the morimoto mini stage III d2s with the e46 shrouds and 5,000k bulbs!!

 

[UnZipHer15]

Well every company in the world I could find I should say hahaha

Are you running spacers in the back? I went for +25 all around and have a perfect fit in the rear while sticking out a full inch up front. Even with adjusted camber, those wheels won't tuck. I'm reluctant on getting a higher offset as I fear the rear will sink in, something that doesn't seem to have happened in your case.

Some pics for support (Car couldn't go lower because of the offset up front):

Rear: (flush with unrolled fenders)

Front:

I decided on selling the wheels and going for 16's after seeing your build. I guess 17's were a little ambitious.

And since I'm whoring out, here's a pic of it back on stockers:

one more thing: Where did you pick up your front lip? I've only seen similar ones on the SEMA concepts but never actually seen any of them for sale.

Thanks for the help! And again, congratulations on the world's first bagged 2! =). Let me know when you're up for some features, I'm good friends with the people who run airsociety.net and I think this 2 needs all the exposure it can get!

I must say I was not a fan of the 2 when first car out, but this is got to be one of the sickest ones I've seen so far! Keep up the good work! (cool)

What width wheel?

17x8.25, not much wider than OP's.

+25 on 7" rims

I'm getting my alignment right now. I'll put the wheels on when I get home and get some proper pics in this rare sun I have right now!

You can get the entire 3dcarbon kit from their site or through a few dealers on here!

I'm on airsociety and there has been a lot of positive attention from all the guys on there! I'll keep everyone updated, I should have something good to update tonight

 

[fam]

yeah youre pretty much rocking the best domestic 2 right now imo so you should be getting some attention. I forgot, where you planning on boosting it?

thank you! there has been talk of possibly boosting my 2 but i won't be thinking about that until next year is that happens... unless some sponsors were to come into play on costs.

UPDATE:

ahhhh... i got an alignment and it feels SOOOOO good. my rear was sitting at -2 degrees of camber so i had them take it to -2.5 in the front which sits my wheels perfetco my toe... oh my toe... was sitting at 2.8" OUT so we brought that back in and set it at .10" IN. while i was there i dialed in my dampening on the rear... i am 6 clicks back on the front and 5 clicks back in the rear, and driving at 50% inflation is like riding in a cadi!!

[UnZipHer15]

I took it to a local family owned alignment shop and had them dial everything in for me. i'm at -1.8 degrees rear and -2.0 degrees front with .10" of toe IN.
