i've been quite the lurker around here for some time and i've finally decided to post my car. i must tell you, it's far from perfect. used to be my daily until i started school, but will once again be my daily when the situation arises. i don't have any pictures of when i first got it, but i do have some of the stages it went through
we picked the car up in september of 09 and it didn't take long to start modding
first couple mods: rolled fenders, s techs, 25mm spacers and autobahn front by shine
then i got a mazdaspeed spoiler
then i sold the autobahn front and ditched the spoiler and bought some BC racing coils
ran a mazdaspeed rep unpainted and tried to stickerfy it for a while (just for sh!t's and giggles)
then i picked up a new bumper, a carbon trunk, a set of varrstoen 2.2.1's in 18x10.5 +15 all around wrapped in 265/35 (which gave me tons of fender problems), ditched the side aero, and dropped it (still on the BC racing)
then i picked up a set of powertrix coilovers (because the BC's didn't go low enough for me)
at this point, the drop on the new coilovers made my car undriveable. i was stumped. the wheels and the amount of drop put me in quite some jam. i spent a good month trying to figure out where i was rubbing and how to make it go away.
after much wrenching, dremeling, angle grindering, hammering, and heat guning, i finally got it to the point where the fenders weren't RESTING on the sidewall of the tires. made it to my fender guys house and got everything squared away.
now here we are today
rockin -3.5 camber up front and -5.6 camber in the rears
the car is far from finished and will be going through some dramatic changes as time comes. i'll try to keep this thread updated for anyone that is interested, but here are some of the things you guys should keep a look out for.
an INGS+1 front and FEED sides should be going on the car by the end of THIS WEEK and new wheels are going to be coming within a couple months (hopefully)
THANKS FOR LOOKING
