only 100.4 degree's fahrenheit (38 deg our scale)

And for thanks for the compliment mate still a few bits and pieces to sort out, but getting there

 

 

^Looking good.

 

johnson, have you checked your front frame rails for rubbage? looking reallly close in that last pic.

 

Well look what I picked up!



i need better pics to show off how clean the interior is!

 

With these wheels, not really since they're +17. My sterns rubbed a bit but I wasn't bothered by it. Positive camber gain is ridiculous.

 

my work in progress

 

how do you make your pics big?

 

hmm is that oem aero addon or some crazy **** from mazdatrix?

 

i was referring to rubbing up top due to lowness. camber/offset is pretty irrelevant to that. i set my ride height based on the amount of rubber on my frame after a race lol

 

I haven't checked really, where on the frame are you looking?

 

Racing Beat springs Kyb Adj.

Mind train Turbo Back still using main cat

Stock S5 TII 3rd gen corner seals. Power steering removed working A/C

ABS deleted now has proportioning valve

upgraded wiring

10" W7 hidden between towers

Paint is a dark grey with blue pearl and silver flake if i remember right

17" Riverside zepter wheels 3 Piece w. Falken Azenis 255/40/17 rear 225/45/17 front

 

^ What offsets are your wheels? I assume 17x8 and 17x9? I had no idea you could fit those size tires under stock fenders with springs.

 

12 o'clock above the tire. where if it were a 240, your tire would be slicd to pieces and fixoring your wires.

 

^ 18x10 +15 295 30 18 slicks right with wide fenders? looks bad ***

 

Josh, I still have the inner fender lining, which is intact except the area where it meets the fender. That whole area is rubbed through - resulting in some burnt paint lol. So nope, no rubbing. If I had slicks then maybe that'll change haha.

 

ya have no idea how wide the tires are i cant find any info about them other than there name. ill see if there stamped somewhere when i change tires.

 

josh18_2k, did u cut out the lip in ur fenders?

would love MORE pics, still my background
im sure this has been asked but what are the wheel and tire specs?

 

its a kaminari kit its for sale minus rear bumper for anyone who is interested

 

those are corksport fenders, and i did trim a teeny bit of the fiberglass on the rear half.

my V710 setup:
18x10 +14 285/30/18
17x10.5 +12 315/35/17

i dont think i have any good pics that arent in here already lol

 

does that setup not hurt you in autox? may be of relevance or not but even cars lapping tsukuba around 1 min mark are running 235 and 245 f/r. just a thought. because wider is not always better. spreading the weight too much can hinder the handling.

 

in autox, bigger is definately better, until you cant get heat in the tires.
in my case, i had trouble putting power down in 2nd with 285's all around, so i upped the rears to 315's. cant fit any more tire in front with these fenders, so they stayed.
look at any fast autox car- they all have giant tires.

on track you dont generate nearly as much heat, and rolling friction is a bigger issue, so bigger isnt necessarily better. tire choice depends on a pile of factors. AFAIK, all time attack cars have limits on tire width and compound

 

What exhaust is that? Looks like a custom with either Tanabe or OBX mufflers.

 

While not as nicely built as Andy's cars, here is my FC. She's 2400# and 160rwhp of wholesome track goodness.

Yup
