Lookin' sweet!

This is me at VIR in September... just thought I would share.



Check out all that crazy camber on my rear wheel! Stupid suspension... can't adjust camber independently on the rear... great idea!

i can fully adjust evey angle on mine. I think all you need it the rear camber adjuster, and it's easy to install.

I have that. The problem is that it adjusts camber on both sides at the same time by moving the subframe around. The problem is that the right wheel has more camber than the left wheel... Two owners ago the left rear wheel got stuffed into a curb and it bent something, so the left wheel has less camber than the right. Since I don't want positive camber on it, when it has a little negative camber, the one on the right has a lot. I haven't had a chance to get it fixed...

The track in question is VIR during the September Mazda Drivers' school. www.mazdadrivers.com for more info. They are doing another one in march. Sign-up starts soon.

It should look familiar vosko Too bad you couldn't make it to the Sept event

Mods eh? Let's see... those go in two categories...

Previous owners:
Ported Jspec motor with 3rd gen seals
Apexi N1 single exhaust
Rebuilt turbo (not hybrid tho)
Open intake with cone filter (but not a TID mod)
Larger secondaries (660 i think)
Fuel pump
G-force tuned ECU
Front STB
HKS Super Sequential BOV
Ugly *** Neeper N7 rims
Brembo slotted brake rotors all around
Cool cut-out FTP lenses
Missing airpump
Straightpipe
Centerforce CF/DF clutch

My mods:
Volk GR-C rims with Dunlop SP8000 for the street
Old stockers with Khumo v700 for the track
Ugly *** neeper N7 rims in a box waiting to go on ebay
Fluidyne aluminum radiator
K2RD coilover kit with camber plates, rear pillow ball mounts and rear camber link
Steel braided oil cooler and radiator hoses
Corbeau racing seat for the driver
Battery relocated to passenger side rear bin
Autopower roll bar
RCI 5-point harnesses for driver and passenger
Leaky crap ABS box removed
Bonez high-flow cat
Toasted CFDF clutch replaced with clutchnet 6-puck copper disk inside CFDF clutch assembly - works pretty ok

There's probably a couple I don't remember, it's pretty late and I was out drinking tonight

VIR is a road course, not a dragstrip... I've actually never been dragging with this car, so I can't really give an estimate.
