Update of my car :



I always wanted a front lip and the one i bought is the only one i like and in carbon its even better, maybe someday ill paint it and make it fit better, or leave it like that, im pretty satisfied right now

For the trunk lip, duck tails always had a special spot in my heart and saw it on here and ebay and gave it a try, looks pretty nice to me with the front lip match

Installed a s2 fuel pump this weekend to try to fix the fuel starvation issue on track, hope it will help! cant wait to go to my local track to try it out

Bought a mazdaspeed strutbar also, i always liked it but when i saw it had a master cylinder brace, i took the hit and clicked the button

Bought a axialflow shifter used on here after i tried munchy's and really liked the feeling. 1st i tought short shifters were rice but when i tried it, my opinion changed, its like a race car feel!

Installed some spacers also, when i installed coilovers my wheels were tuck and did not like it, not its just right

Installed a FP gauge with block8 pod when i had fuel issues, the thing looks like OEM !

Only have my sohn omp adaptor to instal now, dont have time and courage to do it...

for next year, swaybars, braided brake lines and maybe stiffer springs for my coilovers

engine bay pictures will come soon

A lot of mods! Anyway, your car looks good!

 

nice stance!!

 

not very aggressive but i like it like that, i want to keep it trackable ! so no retard camber, no snow plow low or stuff that could hold my foot from flooring it. Form<fonction

lil vid of the dyno runs i did this summer :

and a lil vid of the lapping days i did :

 

did u do any fender work besides rolling to fit +23?

 

^ +1. Curious about that also with 265/35/18. I am going to assume you had your fenders rolled for +23. How about +38 with 265 before the spacers?

 

i love those wheels, do you have a pic without spacers?

im looking into getting these wheels in the same spec and just wanna see how it sits in the guards unspaced

cheers bro awesome ride

 

I was 1/2 lower a couple months ago and i had to trim some liner up front, nothing much rear. only rear fenders are rolled

since i raised it, no more rubbing issues, no more scrapping either, im happy, it does not look as good but more fun to drive.

here is some pictures without spacers :

And here are some without spacers and on S-tech springs :


Without spacers and on s-techs, it was flush, without spacers lowered on coilovers at the lowest setting i was, it was sunken so thats why i got some spacers to fix that. now that i raised it, i got less camber and got some poke

 

The high lighted part was without spacers? Looks good none the less.

 

the highlighted part was WITH spacers.

I did not have the spacers when i was on stechs and when i switched to coilovers, i installed them to fix the sunken look, i was at 12" from center of the wheel to fender with 2.5° camber all around. was too low, raised it 1/2", still scraping and installed front lip, didnt want to break it so i raised it to 13" and now its fine, i have less camber(unknown yet, gotta go to alignement) and dont scrape anymore. rides better on track too, im not shy anymore and do not fear bashing everywhere all the time.

 

thanks mate, we just have **** restrictions on how much camber we can run, cops get pissed off at spacers ect, you've helped me make my decision

 

Loving it! Do you live in Laval by any chance? I think I've seen you around.

 

Absolutely love the front lip. I have always wanted one, but my car is so low right now it would just get ripped off haha, and do not feel like raising it up.

 

you have more pics of your trunk lip?

 

I live near st-eustache, is that you in the greens at ase?

I wish i had time to lap this year. Im a new father and time flys so fast now

Btw my baby loves when we go for a ride in my car who said its not a familly car?

 

Grats on the new baby, my 3yr old girl always says go faster go faster . . . wonder if the officer would let me off when he hears her say that . . .

 

Congrats... Car looks great man!
