Yes

 

Should be good. What time are you thinking? And downtown or soco?

 

Let's try the downtown one. When you passed me and Adam on the way back Tim, you shot the biggest ball of flame I have seen out of a rotary as soon as you passed me.

 

That's what I was going for. I could hear them sputtering and spitting out all through that "Scenic drive." I think the guy in the Protege got a fireworks show.

 

Hopefully you all enjoyed the meet.

And im doing a few things to the car soon. Tinted windsheild, tinted tails, evil M logo, and rasising it about a half inch if you all can believe it.

Also might try and make a front splitter.

 

I had a good time. Let me know if you want any help.

 

I saw the camera sticking out of the window. Is that flame recorded for posterity?

 

I don't think he got it. I didn't look that hard though.

 

Wheels and tires on the way.

 

Which wheels did you go with?

 

XXR 530. 18x9.75 +20. Gold.

Wanted to go bigger but putting 245/40 Ventus V12s on them.

 

That will look nice for sure. Get a decent price on some or did you just shell out the cash?

 

nlmotoring.com doing 25% off until Friday on 4 xxr wheels. There is an $80 rebate on the set of tires as well at Tirerack. Wheels, tires, fancy red lugs, hubcentric spacers, and solid valve stems shipped for under $1300. Wife gave me a strict budget.

 

What size spacers did you get?

 

They are just for the hub to make it go from 73mm on the wheel to the Mazda 67.1mm and fit snugly. Most aftermarket wheels use that bigger size and adapters to sell their wheels to all the peoples. I mentioned it because they charged me $1 each for them.

I think the +20 on the offset is plenty.

 

+20 is defiently plenty. Gonna have to run a good amount of - camber id think though. Not sure if the S techs are low enough to make that wide wheel work but Id like to see it. I like those wheels by the way.

 

Someone was nice enough to post a pic in the Will It Fit thread that had a different xxr wheel with all the same specs for me.

 

You probably will have to use some camber. That is pretty wide. But I hope it looks good man!

 

Adam, what method did you use to roll your fenders? Wheels are due on Saturday and I'm trying to figure out how ghetto I'm gonna go.

 

A mixture of a nylon hammer, heat gun, grinder, and a dremel.

Heat up the paint with the heat gun and then use a glove to hold the outside while you use the hammer inside. The grinder and dremel will have to be used in various areas.

 

That was my plan after watching a lot of online videos. Guess I'm going to Lowes for a heat gun tomorrow. Already have an assortment of everything else. Something down deep was hoping you knew of where to get the proper tool locally.

Stop. Hammer time!

 

Cole did you ever figure out what time you wanted us at Hooters on Tuesday?

 

Does 7 sound good to everyone?

 

7 is good, but don't complain when I complain about how late it is to have dinner. I get crabby when I don't eat by 6.

 

It's late for me too, but I don't get off til 6:30 so not a lot of choice there. Just snack!
