Pics of my 8 and progress thus far (SS, CE28's, etc)
Today marks the 56th day with my 8, and I currently have 2600 miles on. I've been meaning to post pics for a while but for one reason or another never got around to it.. I'll start from the beginning:
1) A few days after I picked her up, bone stock:
hurray for cell phone pics!
2) Here is a few days after that:
not the best picture but I really love these wheels - Volk CE28's in Mercury silver - Fronts: 18x8.5 Rears: 18x9.5
3) And about a month after that:
yea.. she's a bit dirty.. (ran off the track)
Dropped slightly and corner balanced on Zeal Function X. (52% front, 48% rear with driver). weighted in at 2939 without driver.
That's it for now, I plan on keeping this thread updated as I progress.. however I quite like the look and feel of the car as it is so it may stay this way for a little while.. Though after a day at the track I'm heavily considering a dedicated set of track wheels..
Comments welcomed!
mods -
suspension: Zeal Function X coilovers, Tanabe front/rear sway bars w/ energy suspension bushings, Mazdaspeed front/rear strut tower bars, endless 6 pot calipers, Volk CE28's.
"power": SMB metallic substrate high flow cat, SMB exhaust, K&N drop in filter.
