Hi all! I now have a carbon fibre (CF) bonnet & CF exhaust tips. :p Akan datang... CF MS wing! :D

Should I get CF B-pillar covers, or piano black instead? Me X is black.

Thanks for suggestions/views. See u on the streets! Cheers.

 

CF B-pillars. That will go better with the bonnet. BTW,change your rims!!!

 

Yup! have to agree with Fab8, that original 16" have to go men!

Go for CF! I think that piano black is gonna attract lots of finger prints!!

So your CF wings is coming from rotaryextreme rite?

 

have to agree with the big boys - the rims have to go. already got mine even before the car is here.

BTW NB, are you getting a new MS wing? if you are let me know thanks.

 

NB is waiting to wear these set of tires first b4 changing, right? Dats wat i remembered u saying..

My neighbour's 350Z belonging to uncle just changed his rims to 19'' and full CHROME! BLing BLing, come to think of it, chrome is not too bad at all...D

 

what parts are good to improve the stability of the car.

 

Me keen on CF B-pillars actually. But do u know whether it's real CF or lookalike CF? Me keen on the MS B-pillar.

As for rims, me hope Santa thinks me been good! :D

 

Piano black is nice. May get it if me can't get real CF B-pillars.

Not sure about the CF wing from rotary extreme... I already have the MS wing. Was hoping to buy a similar wing (without stands) & pull a swap. Even the MS wing blocks vision of the rear. Plus the lady does not approve of them huge CF wings

 

Are u looking to buy the MS wing? If u can get just the stands, I can sell u the wing (after I locate a suitable CF wing).

 

U right! Me waiting for tyres to wear out or puncture or blow (accidents happen u know )

Got pics of u neighbour's bling? CHROME RULES!!! :D

 

From what I know:
1. Lowering (springs etc.)
2. Sports suspension (sacrifice comfort)
3. Bigger rims (me not sure, but what an excuse! :p )
4. Strut bars (is that what they're called?)
5. Wings.

U may want to post on the technical section. The guys & gals there really know their stuff!

 

5.Wings.

I like that! If only i could fly with em!!!

 

Yo Neon! Whassup with the dog? The chick was better! :D

 

I believe bigger rims would have the opposite effect on stability.
What more, bigger rims usually means lesser acceleration, depending on the weight of the rims/tyres.

 

Usually the strut bars, sway arms and rims offset will affect the handling of the car at high speed (esp cornering). Autoexec has a nice struct bar set (>$1500) that fits the engine bay, below the car body as well as the bum (thats the red color set thats in Hyper Rev).

As most of us do not have 20 inch rims with special offset, this shld not affect us that much. Lowering of coils/changing of coilvers etc will affect handling so maybe strengthening the sway bars will help.

Changing to wide tyres should be last resort cos it add weight (bigger rims add weight too).

Just my 2 cents.

 

bigger rims add weight and would strain the suspension if it is not set up for the extra weight. One option to get bigger rims would be to get lighter wheels so as to strain the suspension less(read lighter=more expensive)

 

hehehe minor correction

Lighter rims = much more expensive.

Branded lighter rims = much much more expensive.

hehe not F1 no need to overkill with wide tyres. The incremental weight of the extra wide tyres prob outweigh the weight savings on the rims. Anyone can clarify this?

 

of cos wider would allow you to "feel" more but of cos fc would suffer due to increased friction. There are too many parameters involved in simply changing to lighter and width etc. You can only compare if you keep one constant. What you said is true to a certain extend but it really depends on how much weight you save on the wheels and how much additional your tire weighs... tire profile etc would also make a diff.... Anyway, big doesn't mean good or else all cars would spot 50 wheels(which is not the case). You read the article on the 19in on the 24hr? I guess that would probably be very good set up since mazda must have researched and come up with something that is suited for both speed and endurance.... Wonder what rims/tire they use
