I got bored a few months ago so i ordered a model and wheels to build to see what the car is going to look like.



I got some Enkei RPF1's for cheap my distributer had stripped the paint off one wheel for a customer and he flopped on the sale so i got myself some cheap track wheels and repainted them.







All painted up



Tire transport!!



Ready to grip



More pictures of the Rays Volk TE37's because they are so beautiful!

Great thread man! I especially like the close up pic of your rotor. So much so that I posted it to our facebook page Gearhead Shirts | Facebook hope you don't mind! It might take a minute to show up... we post it through pinterest first and then it finds its way to our page.

They are HSD coilovers when i was driving the car i really liked them, the fronts arr inverted so you have a longer stroke and has camber adjustment up front with a pillow ball mount. Front and rear have dampening adjustment and the ride height is independant of spring preload (a must when looking for a good coilover) I haven't got to push them hard or anything yet but so far i like the ride quality.

Update on the car body shop is taking their the time but i know how it is so i dont want to rush them as its end of season anyway. Got a couple pics of it so far they sprayed the base and had to fix a couple pin holes should get sprayed again and cleared soon tho!! I also have the shine hatch spoiler and the gxl spoiler (not pictured).

Car is out of paint.... kinda

So i got my car back from the body shop they did a great on the paint and most importantly the body work is top notch, for some reason he didn't paint my shine roof spoiler or the GXL spoiler so I'm still waiting on those pieces but the car is in storage now for the winter so its not too big of a deal. I put two of the rims on to test fit it they look so good on this car it doesn't look real. I'm going to have to play with spacing and camber a bit but the fitment is great. Enough talking on to the pics!

Haven't updated this in a while so i thought i would post some pics from CSCS on June 2, 2013. I came second for best Mazda in the show in shine (car wasn't running right for the track). I will be racing on July 28th at Mosport for CSCS.

On to the pics!!!
