That exhaust looks awesome!

I like the shaved sidewalls gives it a fresh rubber clean look to it. A video trying to get it ramp into the shop would ba a great video to show how low it is.

[Manic.]

I want to do a video of what it takes to roll the god damn thing up the ramp into our fabrication shop. It looked like you need an engineering degree to contemplate it.

The video will be a definite feasibility, but most of it will be the sound of scraping. haha

Well when i wrote that question i had two things in mind, the sound of the work you guys are doing on the car and the scraping moving this car anywhere around the shop.

Any chance of you guys making a video of this thing when you're done?

Lol this, I did it when I had my E46, that car rubbed constantly, there was no writing on the rears.

Wait, what did I miss? What happened to your e46?

[FluidMotorUnion]

Here's two teasers for you, Fabel:




Next step is taking the Equips and drilling them out to 5x114.5 so I can steal them for myself.

Listen to Jesus

he knows what he's talking about

FYI people have been shaving sidewalls for years in the VW scene.

Any reason why you're so proud that your tires were rubbing?

I'm not? I'm saying its silly to sand that shit off, ask anyone down there about how concerned I was about the rubbing. I didn't like it. Its just one of those things that happens, why do you always brag about having a low E39?

WTF? Not sure where did me braging about low E39 came from?

Im with pavel here, why the hell would someone be proud of rubbing? its the worst part about fitment, in my opinion the perfect fitment is really tight without rubbing.

shaving the sidewall vs rubbing it, the shaving is all nice and even often used in the hotrod community. tho the rubbing is normally just in one spot, and quite deep too. '

For starters, suspension geometry has nothing to do with whether or not sidewalls rub on your fenders.

That is purely a wheel size/offset and tire choice.

Its also illegal in many countries to "smooth/shave" your sidewalls.

I didnt touch my sidewalls. The car does it for me, its a part of the lifestyle.

also for oxer, suspension geometry has something to do with rubbing or not, try running the same setup with 0 camber and -5 camber, caster will also greatly help in the front. And who gives a f*ck if its illegal to shave them? most of us, are lower and poking more then the law allows.

Easiest way to shave your sidewalls?

Track days.

bahahaha Allen!! I forgot about this badass picture, that was such an awesome meet. Vegas and I are about to cook up another one.

@Fabel : got your pm but I've been lazy and haven't responded.


But I will now

Sweet.

[OG patina]

the way you talk is great. i cant even see the pics of your car cause its blocked here at work, but i still tune in to your thread just to see the shit you write about it.

you should write the features for the main page as well. would be quite entertaining

[FABEL]

I'm sorry, I really do like your car for the most part, and it really is low as shit, but the fact that you appear to be such a megalomaniac so much of the freaking time makes me loose my respect for you. You aren't the most baller kid around.

I just play man. life is stressful & my cars are the only release I have. so the way I post, mod, & drive is all in good fun. hell, I don't even like my miata & I'm far from a gangster. I just play one on StanceWorks.

as far as being baller, that's not possible with a miata regardless of your wheelset. so you may see me post that I show ball players how to roll while their wives dribble a lil somethin' around my own hoop, but that doesn't mean I'z ain't a laughin' the whole time I type such malarky. just having fun man; I know it's very hard for that to come through on the forums though, so no harm.

most esteemed comment from you though is still complimenting my car even if you can't stand me. I don't know if I could do such a thang, although cars do usually resemble their owners. in my case, just a playa gettin' silly wit it.

So basicly you're faking that you do understand suspension geometry? Smoothing your sidewall just makes it look "cleaner", it does nothing else. You're still low as shit, so your geometry is still pretty out of whack.

yep. suspension well outta whack, but that matches it's personality as well . . . so in my opinion, it's all a flowin' better than a moen.

smooth sidewall is georgous in person & extremely understated for those that care to spend a few moments overlooking a car properly. it's a pretty nutty adventure to go down & it took more hours than if I had body prepped the car for paint, but it's just another one of those stand out features of my ill-logical roadster.
