Well worth the trip, I went 2 years ago and unfortunately haven't been able to get a chance to go back but I definitely will very soon. Something always seems to come up where I can't make it and it always ruins my spring not going out there. Its the best way to start off car season. The best roads I've ever driven on and beautiful scenery.

Only problem is the people who go to the event are very boring, make sure to bring friends with you. All the NY/NJ guys went out there and we had drinks and beers like crazy and nobody besides us drank or went out to the casino or did anything. They all just basically sat around listening to techno and talking about rotaries.

anybody know if there's a way I can find the nearest retailer that stocks modified? I used to be able to get them at the Walgreens around here but they stopped carrying them for whatever reason.

Thanks Chris

They're 18x9.5 +38 up front and 18x10 +32 in the rear with 255/35 and 265/35 tires. The Profil line of Fikse wheels give more BBK clearance but you lose a bit of lip, so I purposely spec'ed out a more aggressive size (to include fender rolling) to get the best of both worlds.

They're Super Now sourced from Japan, I can get you a set if interested. Just shoot me a PM.

OEM Mazda Spirit-R Recaros. They've since moved into Supernaut's car b/c I went with something more track-oriented.

Especially when is someone that shares our passion for the RX-7’s.
Congratulations Rich!!! Keep up the good work.

Appreciate that. They had an FD on the cover the month before, and it is kinda hard to argue against a 1200 rwhp GTR

easy... Your FD, drop dead gorgeous like Audrey Hepburn walking onto the red carpet, wearing one her little black dress'...

that gt-r, more like Lady gaga and that stupid dress she wore of out meat...



no comparison at all in my opinion, but then again, this is coming from another VR owner, so I'm biased to say the least... (plus its a gt-r, who gives a ****, yeah its fast, its also boring, read the article on the R-34 they have in there from India and it talks about how the r-35 might be faster, but it still does not compare to the older gens...)


Sorry for cluttering thread with the small rant (I really don't like r-35s)


Congrads, and I'm proud to have picked up a copy earlier today, and read it over a a few times already, I'm considering getting another copy so i can cut the pictures out...

Did you roll the fronts too?
I don't have the specs on my front, but it clears with a 245/35/18
I'm running 18x10 +43 in the rear with a 285/30 tire and they cut.
So, (theoretically) if I save 11mm (offset), that would push my wheel closer towards the center of the car. Aren't they awfully close to your suspension?
I have NO fender rolling done... as of yet that is
