hey guys i'm new here from southern california! dropping in to see all of your mazdas!

here's a few shots of mine as it is currently. coilovers have since settled slightly lower!






let me know what you think! i'm looking for some MPS tail lights as well. if you haven't already noticed, the USDM ones bulge out. i'm hoping someone here has a stock set for sale!

Nice looking ride, the ride height and wheels makes it look good at all angles. I wouldn't have noticed I look at the overall stance

[rayd]

Looks great man! What wheels and coils you running?

[Spudspec]

Hey mate. your car is AWESOME. love it, it looks just right!
where in southern Cali are ya from? I spent 3 weeks at Irvine working for a small place you might know of...

In that case....G'DAY MATE!!!



Nice ride and nice stance, I would loose my bumper at that height but it looks great!

Welcome to ozMPSclub, knock yourself out on the forums buddy

Cool ride mate, the best colour also I might add. How's the modding going? Presume you've done a few upgrades? Fuel pump? Cobb AB? There has been alot of chat about those lately here on the forum. Feel free to jump in and comment. Enjoy the forum and welcome!!

G'day mate, very nice speed 6. Actually, I think I was looking at images of yours via google just when I was purchasing my 6. What size and offset are those rims? Do you find they scrub out at all?

[ryancn]

Welcome! That's awesome mate!
I've the same questions that everyone has. What size and offset are you running? Did you roll the guards?

Cheers

First off, thank you all for the kind welcome to the forum! Sorry for not being on, I've been signing up for my next semester classes and what not.
I'll try to answer a few questions:

I'm currently on BC Racing coilovers. The wheels are 18x9+43 Work Emotion XD-9's. The tires are stretched (slightly) and are Toyo Proxes 4's in 225/40/18. These tires are amazing and I highly recommend them to everyone! Yesterday I put some 5mm spacers on to get them sitting at +38 until I can afford a new set!

To make them fit I rolled, pulled, and cut a few spots with a dremmel to get things 'right'. I was afraid of doing the dremmel business, but it's necessary if you want to go at least +38 and go as low as my car is. There's a guy (username RhoadBlock) on the other Mazda forums who has a gnarlier set up...but he's the only one who's pulled it off :/

So to put it simply, I had to modify my fenders to fit and eliminate MOST of the rubbage...
It is, however, a never ending battle, I swear lol. in the upcoming weeks I'll continue to work on the fenders and eliminate ALL of the contact spots.
