Did you take out your fender liners? I thought about taking the front lower but it looked like I would hit the liner or the side marker, and my wheels aren't aggressive at all. 18x8.5 +45

 

I spy flames on the tire. Hmm...

What size tire are you running?

 

Lol, R-S3's have the cheesiest flame design ever, but they are still good tires

That they do, but I'm getting a set come next season. Probably time to retire these Falken Azenis that are about as old as my Rx8..

Which, despite the crap tires, I can't express the level of fun today, autocrossing her again(Two days in a row, ftw). I'll get the video posted once the results are up.

And she's looking rather sexy Tiltmode.

 

Sorry for the double post, but got some pics!











Totally have my friend's Miata photobombing in the one pic. Also, I know, a ton of wheelspin/hop in the first video, and a ton of skill to be gained.

 

By good tire, he actually means the best gripping street tire I have ever driven on. RS-3's are the only tire you should drive on, period.

 

^They're what I'm gonna get to replace my Falken Azenis ST115's next season. Apparently they've been due for replacement for quite a while, haha. Heck, even Falken replaced them in their line up..

 

U need new brakes

 

I have Carbotech XP8's. I don't think I broke them in properly, but they've got a ton of bite. Only got 5 auto-x days on them.

 

I can't wait to install mine!

 

Nah you probably did it right. They just need heat in them before they quiet down. When I bedded my brakes I did five 45-5MPH stops and eight 100-5MPH stops as hard as I could and they're still noisy as hell.

I have HP+ pads and get that "OH YOU NEED NEW BRAKES" stuff all the time too especially since I street them. If they say it in a condescending manner I just tell them that if they knew **** about cars they'd know what a track compound pad was.

 

I just stare at them and rev my engine.

 

Oh yeah, I did probably at least a dozen 70-5mph stops, with varying amounts of force, then let them cool down, and repeated. I've got more bite than even my ABS knows what to do with, they're just absolutely noisy. I normally only have them on for an extra day or two after each event, so it's normally not bad.

It doesn't bother me that much, especially since I know they're better than pretty much anyone who mentions that statement's brakes. However, I dislike seeing a hot chick, pulling up beside, and her being disgusted from the sound of my brakes, rofl. Suddenly, not many pick up lines can save you.

Ah well, a girlfriend would just cut into my 8's time. Gotta keep the priorities in check.

And honestly, when you install these coils, you'll love them. The difference in the few events I've done before and after them is night and day.

 

hey guys did anybody needed camber kits to get the car align after installing the coilover?

my car is rocking -3.1 on the rear and the tech at the tire shop i went said it is max out so he cant do nothing about it.

what can i do?

help a powertrix brother out

 

Dam why so much camber?

 

slammed but need to get alignment before i have to get new tires

 

Wait are you saying you want more camber...

 

I would check with another shop. Your car has camber adjustment on it. You should be able to adjust it from -3.1 (which is crazy)

A local member to me was told the same thing by an alignment "specialist" and when he got home he lifted a back corner and was able to adjust the camber himself (needed another alignment after that )

 

-50 back to the future status

 

Great Shots MS Addict!

<3<3<3

Powertrix Charles and I will have a present for you at SevenStock

You're asking in the right place! Be sure to ask the alignment tech for more *positive* camber. It sounds to me that there was confusion, and they were trying to add negative camber, perhaps?

 

Sweet!

 

i want the alignment to go close to factory settings but the tech said the they can't add any positive camber.

i know he is fulll of sh*t because our cars have a big range of adjustability and last time i was messing with my camber it was at -2.6 and got it back to factory settings at the same shop but with another tech guy..
