Things to note, visible on pics:

~Mazdaspeed lip
~stock s5 TII side-skirts
~Asahi Starion wheels (custom fitted, dawwwg)
~Rolled fenders
~RSR *race* springs & KYB AGX struts

I'll probably add some more pics that go over the entire car--but these were the only one's worth posting. Paint, body-stuff, engine is all new and I'm stoked to be driving it finally!

Here's it's (now jealous) little brother:

Lovin it!

That looks dumb. You should probably just go ahead and get rid of it. Luckily for you I run a sort of orphanage, if you will, for FCs. Go ahead and send it my way, then we can be rid of this nasty situation.

Ok, I have to know....how are the front rims not contacting the brake caliper? Im going to assume longer wheel studs and a fairly large spacer. And are those teh 16x7 and 16x8 or the 16x8 and 16x9 combo?

i think those are like about offset +5 or something so it sticks out a bid

FirstRotaryExp

something like that, i have a set of the 16x7 and 16x8 and the 16x8 has a backspacing close to 4" but the 'spoke' of the rims themselves hit the front calipers before you can even get a lug nut to thead.

Haha... I MUST PUBLICLY THANK ROTARY GUY FOR HOOKING ME UP TONIGHT! My alternator belt broke on the way up to meet him--and he drove the extra distance and brought me a belt! A true "rotary guy"...


Read my original post you n00b.

Haha, good question... I'm running a 12mm spacer, and I had to grind off a *little* bit of the brake-caliper "edge" and some of the "bump" (you know what I'm talking about). It's still a pretty tight clearance.

These are the 7's and 8's--although I'm hoping for a set of the 16x8/16x9 SHP wheels for my "actual" Turbo II (which is still in the build process)... Super rare though.

Hmmmm, think you could pm me a picture of the "grinding" involved on the caliper? Buddy of mine's widebody FB is getting a 5-lug conversion and were contemplating running the starion wheels since we already have them.

Hummm... Can you wait a couple days? I'm going to be swapping brake-lines, so I'll have the wheels off and be able to get better pics. It's nothing crazy.

Yeah, Ive got nothing but time, the car in question is still up on jacksstands for other reasons.

Good question... I'm still in the debate process. I'll know for sure by next week, but it's still up in the air.

Haha, thanks brotha'... This one has a street-ported engine with 9.4:1 rotors, ported stock turbo, full exhaust, TID/intake, emissions removal, FD-alternator, FD fuel-pump etc. Nothing terribly insane... Just a fast street-car. I'm saving all by "big turbo" mods for the next one, which will be finished in about two months.

For *that* one, I've got a Garrett TO4s, Haltech E6K, full S/S fuel-system and every other "goodie" imaginable. I'm scheduled for a Steve Kan tune at the very end of May--so I've got a deadline for completion. Shooting for 400whp at 1-bar.

I painted the FTP's and VHT'd all the lenses. Always turns out sexy--especially on a white car when you get that contrast.

As far as pics, I actually won't be able to get any more until probably Tuesday. I don't own a digi-cam--so I just borrow my buddy's camera when it's available. I'm hoping to be able to use it for a half-day shoot next week though.

Love it, you definitely know how to make FCs look clean. The blacked out FTPs and turn signals look good.
