Glad everyone seems to like my new setup haha.

The wheels are VMR VB3's
18x9.5 +22 all around
225/40/18 front
245/40/18 rear

 

That looks awesome and those wheels are really nice but what happens when you get some articulation coming in or out of a steep driveway?

 

Wow very nice specs but I think you forgot to answer my previous :P

 

The tires get busy with the fender up and down inclines, still a work in progress for sure.

^whoops, those have been sold sorry haha. A guy from craigslist picked them up, I think he said he was on here as well. Just keep you eyes open, they go for pretty cheap.^

 

I figured. Your car looks great, I just worry that your wheels are going to make contact and tear up your fenders. I like how you phrase that- get busy

anyway.. Nice car, keep her as clean as she is now

 

Mac you need some S4 tail lights on that thing man, the jdm ones with the red rotary turbo decal on them would look great *i know your car probably isnt turbo but the red decal would set them off

 

Are you using bolt pattern adapters?

 

OMG God sexy!!!!!

 

I like it! I'll like it even more when the Monster Truck rally leaves town, lol. Sweet ride though.

 

I got them redrilled, don't really have the room to mess around with adapters.

 

 

The fitment is awesome mac, and quinn you need to lower that thing!

 

Stretched Tires + Stock Ride Height = Fail

 

This is true... nice color though! Looks like Laguna Seca Blue

 

haha i know tell me about it

 

Ouch, notice its at the paint shop, I haven't even driven of the lot when I took that. Fresh this morning, before I took it the guy asked if I could raise it as it would make it easier to work on. So I did, I'm gonna drop it back tomorrow. Color is mazda winning blue stock on rx8s

 

Also the streched tires I hate, but I was in a position were I couldn't wait for the other ones to come in. I wish I could have, after I get it tuned and finish the body, I'm gonna get new tires, well maybe ill smoke these ones first.

 

The car actually is lowered. The roller already had Koni Yellows and Racing Beat springs when I bought it. I plan on buying Tein Flex in the future, but I don't think there is anything wrong with the height. I have Flex's on one of my Miata's and I won't put them any lower than the recommended height. Yea, it may not be esthetically pleasing, but the car is a street car. I like to drive it fast and at the limit. On the street where roads are bumpy, suspension travel is crucial. I'd rather be able to go fast over bumps than have my car look cool and putz around. Hell, even the race tracks in New England aren't the smoothest. New Hampshire is a great example.

 

 

 

Look how beautiful the architecture and forest are! Wowww great picture with a beautiful FC.

 

Well Quinn I can't argue with that, it's your car and you drive it, not me. So more power to you. And silverfc that pic is amazing.

 

WHY can't we have places like that over here!?

Amazing setting!!!

 

Seriously..wow.

Only place that I know of that even comes close is Colorado. Absolutely beautiful.

I have some pics of my tC with some nice background scenery from the trip..makes my car look so much better lol

 

pics of mine.
