championadrien that is a testament to FC RX7s looking best when lowered that much. Freaking awesome. I am loving white wheels. I wouldnt worry much about the fenders, it is bound to get even more messed up after fixing. Just the price that has to be paid when rocking it like that.

You dont have a problem with your license plate blocking air flow?

It's not bolted on. It's held up by zipties, so when the air hits it, it swings back, out of the way. Its like a dynamic license plate.



If you look real close, you can still see some of it here, since I was only going about 20 mph. Ghetto preventive maintenance from a fix-it ticket.

Thanks btw.

wtf are you talking about lol. so if you fix ****, **** breaks?

if he wouldve fixed it with a fender roll or something of the sort it wouldnt of done any damage nor it would look like ****. also the stock camber is enough to roll around in when slammed and not cause "severe" damage. then again i did have stretched tires but 17x10 rears

rolled properly with a fender roller with a slight pull

That's how my car works. Any time I fix one thing, something else breaks. The car must maintain a minimum coefficient of broken at all times.

Sometimes it saves up too. I'll fix something small and nothing else will break, until I fix another small thing and then I get a nice big problem. Like a coolant leak behind the LIM.

Nothing crazy - 17x9 +27 on 255/40. I adjusted the camber because when I dropped the car and left the camber, the tires wore out too quickly and un-evenly.

I have it at a little bit more negative than stock camber at stock height but then it would rub under slight compression, so I attempted to do a slight pull and fcked it up, i did better on the left side, which is why it doesn't show in the pictures.

I think what hypertek was tryna say is that even if I fix it (w/ bondo) it'll just end up getting damaged again. Let me make it clear that I caused that damage on the fender myself. It is not dented from the tire hitting the fender.

Either way, I do plan on flattening it out when I have time.

you rocking stretched tires. mine was the same way with metal fenders til i went with a wider tire 225 and BAM hit the fender and crumpled it up lol, so yeah i was just sayin that if he cleans it up with body filler, he may rub it again when he drives hard.

I got lucky on my roll, I tried to clean out all the dirt and grit off the lip so I wouldn't get any trapped while it flattened.

true but with a nice alignment and some suspension tweaks you can prevent that. before the overfenders, the wheel would tuck in the fender during hard driving. though my rear is set to the hardest almost no give lol

The electrical system appears to have Borged itself onto the brakes.
