Thanks in advance and very nice car, the MB paint looks excellent on your FD.

I dont know how much it dropped but I have no problem with fender rubbing with this set up. It seems to me that it dropped alot more than 1in. I have less than one finger gap between the fender and tires.


thanks for your comment

Looks fine to me. Unless it lasts for longer than 2-3 minutes or smells sweet I wouldn't worry.

Oh, and sweet car! Yours is the first I have seen with stock wheels and the '99 spec front and wing. Looks a lot better than I predicted.

I've never understood the "sweet smell" but it does stink...
The mazda reaman motor i have now has 5000miles and it smokes like how my old motor with shot o-ring did. It starts to smoke after 1-2min of morning start, and it continues to smoke for 5-10 min.
It threw up some coolant from the resvr tank couple times after driving on hot days as well on this mazda reman. I'm waiting for another mazda reman to come in so that I can replace with this one under warranty, but I'm just wondering if it is really the case.

Having gone through 2 engines with bad coolant seals, I can almost gaurantee that is a shot coolant seal. No way in hell that is condensation.

ONLY other time I smoked that bad was with a shot stock turbo. Secondary turbo seal went out and smoked up the whole block.

Car looks nice with the 99 specs.
