hi i have a few quick questions about the angle kit from mazdatrix. i see from the pic on there site that it comes with spacers for the inner tie rod to the steering rack and it also comes with the outter tie rod , but the outter tie rods dont have a grease bushing?( sorry if thats not the name for it haha) it is just medal? and does that affect anything? i know on the super nows you have to cut 1cm off the inner tie rod for it to fit properly , and was wonder if thats the same case as the mazdatrix kit? and what excactly does the bumpstop do? sorry for all the questions! thanks alot in advance!

 

Outer tie-rod with a grease bushing? You mean the adjustable bumpstop? That uses a ball joint, same as the supernow. You still need to use your stock tie-rod and that keeps the grease packed ball joint, but that's under the boot.

Mazdatrix says that you do not have to cut with their kit.

The bumpsteer levels out the tie-rod so it's not angled. If you drift, then you should have coils, and with coils your car gets really low. This puts a lot of strain on the tie-rod since it is no longer pushing out. It now pushes up and out. It could break and bend. If you road race you can adjust it of bumpsteer. Bumpsteer is when one tire turns, but you don't turn the steering or don't feel it in your steering. (something like that)

Hope that helps.

 

I've been looking to get some tires for drifing..where you guys get those Federal tires?

If you want to get them through JustDrift you have to be signed up for an event. Then you can get special pricing as well. Other than that, I don't know where you would get Federal tires. Especially in N.cali.

 

So they have it on the spot? Mount and balance the tires too?

Thanks

 

This is the "magic" piece!(Gold colored piece) You have to remove the boot and break the pin holding stock pieces together. If you don't know for sure how to do that, have someone do it for you!



This is the outer tie-rod. This pice is quite nice in that is has a tapered seat to match the spindle. Exspensive for Mazdatrix, awesome they did it that way! Great quality too!



Everything before I started!



I payed $190 plus tax for it at Maxdatrix. Very good price!!

 

Umm... Nope, they only sell tires. Your on your own for the rest. You must pick them up.

 

I think I saw this guy at SS too...he's pretty good...

How thick is the actual spacer. How much does it actually space the tie rod out and also how long are the threads. Does anyone have one that is not installed on there car. I can make these at work so I dont have to buy them becasue you cant buy them by themselves from anywhere. Do you really need the different tie rod ends or will stock ones be ok

 

I'm sure that is the proprietery property of Mazdatrix.

You could use the stock outer tie rods, but why? The heims and spacers eliminate bump steer. they sell just the outer tie rods, maybe they will sell you just the inner spacers, at a higher price I'm sure.
I'll try and remember to ask him tomorrow.

 

Im not gonna reproduce them for anyone else I just want them for me. And the reason for using the stock tie rod ends is cause I dont want to pay 200 bucks for tie rod ends and spacers when it wont do me any good to have them.

 

Hi,

The vid was very nice.
Keep up the good work.

On 23sec, a small Ninja hangs from the interior rear view mirror.
I really liked it. Where can I get one just like that?
A webpage would be a huge help, since i do not live in the U.S.
Thanks anyway.
