Edited- I had a lot of grammer mistakes lol.



Yooo, I didn't mean it to come out that way. I love you guyZz (no homo) jeff and everybody. On the other hand Kels i thinks I'm two hundred pounds to heavy to be a mini me lmao... I just ordered my engine and battery covers yesterday -Thanks Chrism for the advise- And My Tein S. Techs came in 2, but I'm reconsidering, because kels, you know I think I might need some shocks. So since I got the springs for 100 bucks. I think I might get rid of the springs, and when my school check comes in; get the Tein Flex Coilovers. *Any suggestions-> Tein S. techs with mazda speed shocks or coilovers??????????????? Oh and chrism nice decal homie.

Im telling you in the end you will be upset with yourself plus its winter now no need to drop it, and think of it this way next winter you can adjust the coils and pick it up a inch higher than stock.

Well definitly if I decide to sell them. I just got to see how much i get in my school check. But nobody ever answered if the tein springs and mazda speed shocks are a good combination.

i would advise against the stechs + ms shocks - those shocks are designed for much stiffer springs and it will feel off... plus it will probably end up dropping the car slightly more, too..

tein flex is definitely the way to go - get the EDFC as well

and another..

No in-car vids yet since I need to figure out a mount location... Wouldn't be very interesting anyway, just me getting passed by everyone Most of the cars have 500+ lbs on me...

"Fun" is not quite the right word... I think "terrifying" comes a little closer. A true baptism by fire in wheel to wheel racing. But once you get past the fact that you have just a little over zero grip, and that the car will step out randomly because of the uneven surface, and that you're in the middle of a pack of 40 cars on a .7 mile track... It was an awesome time!

Trunk was empty... I noticed the fender clearance in that pic as well and was a little confused, since I wasn't putting down nearly enough Gs to compress the springs that much... It is the ouside wheel thou, so maybe with the turn + accel..

That looked crazy bro. I dont think I would have the ***** to drive my Rx 8 in zero grip between a pack of 40 cars. And that coming from me is big. Now put me on the daytona race against car faster than mine in about 70 degree weather. Then your talking. But none the less - It looked like a blast.

It was definitely a great time... A little crazy for sure, but it will be great practice for when I start tracking the car for real (much less margin for error for knowing when the tires start to slip).

As for the pack of 40 cars... I think driving through Jersey City is much scarier
