tiltmode43's Build Thread
Higher Quality pictures can be found @ www.flickr.com/inghostcolours I've always thought about starting a build thread but have been too timid in the past to do so. Given some of the changes I am hoping to see with my car, now is as good a time as ever to get the ball rolling! Let's see if I can do this by memory - each description above the photos will outline any changes that occurred since the previous photos. *I'm skipping some initial steps here, because I don't have photos.

Since when we dont know your story after so many pics on Agressive Fitment thread. Good progress and car looks good except for the front bumper and chrome rims.
|
You have like seven thousand different wheels.
|
Out of curiosity, why did you change your exhaust so many times?
|
Hey, you must own a wheel and tire shop
|
or whore yourself to a bunch of fat chicks for 500 bucks a piece

Thanks guys, I'm just happy to have all of this in one place finally. |
dis thread gun' be good
|
You should get forged Pistons and individual throttle bodies.
|
Those Blue TE37's looked the best IMHO.
Lovely car bud. |
...i came for the wheelz :)
gl tilt! |
9k, thats a good start, I would also recommend a good cam
|
Munchy - I like trying different parts out, especially if they can be had for cheap. There was a big gap that my second JIC was out for repair, so I needed something else in the meantime. In total, I think I've had two JIC 65mm Full Ti's, Mazdaspeed V2, HKS Hi-Power, Borla Single Exit, Espelir JGTC500, & my current setup.

nice too see a build thread. :]
seems like every matt i know is an exhaust whore :suspect: |
Hey Tilt, what lug nuts are you running?
|
^Read his post instead of just looking at the pictures! :)
|
9k - Currently on Volk Racing Formula lugs in blue; previously was on Rays Duralum Extended in blue. I have a set of Black Chrome Kics R40's but they aren't on in any of these photos.
|
Its threads like these that make me want to spend every dollar earned on wheels. Every setup looks amazing! Great work!
|
Wow... I never thought I'd say this... but I'm not a fan of that choice in wheels, tilt! I've loved every one of your wheel choices but I'm not really feeling those weds. The RE30's were my favorite, but all of your wheel choices have been great.
It's great to see all of your progress in one place... your car has definitely gone through a lot of changes! |
Looks good. Was contemplating starting a thread myself... but I know I've already missed out on taking pictures of my progress thus far.
|
I want stickers that read
Inspired by TILT |
Are the blue TE37's you have the SL edition? They are so damn sexy!
good luck with the build. |
i think the mag blue were my favs, looking good man!
|
Ce28n T.Green/orange Te37 were my fav set-ups Nice!!!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Most changes from here out will be aero related, along with a wheel change every now and then :wavey: |
Tilt's car always seems getting a facelift all the time (specially the wheels).

Inspired by TILT Good to see a start to current build thread by you tilt. As always, your 8 is amazing! :icon_tup: |
Someone should seriously make that sticker lol i bet theres a lot of ppl inspired by tilt! My future projects for my car are inspired by tilt :) starting with the powertrix coilovers then aggressive wheels and hopefully one day some sort of aero kit... not sure which one since the authentic mazdaspeed bumpers are discontinued :/
|
man you've went through some wheels tilt. I can always appreciate the work that goes into cars, the current look is not my favorite but definitely stands out and is different.
|
Deedub,
what wheels are thoose on the Beemer? F it, taking orders for The sticker Idea. Tilt we split it 80/20. 1 requirement. Tilt must approve your aggressive fitment before you can place your order. LMAO that means I have to work on my set up also. |
Haha you guys are too funny, but the kind words are appreciated :beerchug:
All I know is that I won't personally be satisfied until I get a different full kit on with fender work completed. The journey is fun in itself though. Small note: If anyone happens to want to make a sticker for fun, there should be no requirements for the car they go on, no approval required. Also, whoever makes them can keep any profit as long as they send me a couple for the record books :Peace: |
I love the new wheelssss
|
forgestar f10's...

Updated a few pics in OP and added a couple more things I forgot. This picture seems to be getting some good reviews so I'll throw it in here too ~>

If you feel the need to donate a set of wheels, I'm always accepting donations. Lol
|
Yo tilt, can i get a high res pic, i wanna throw some of these pics up as my wall paper
|
Bamsterman - Haha man I only keep 1-2 sets at a time, many are in the same boat. I just have a bit of wheel ADD.
Dozer - Check out this link, everything is pretty organized ~> http://www.flickr.com/photos/inghostcolours/sets/ On a side note, I can't believe the amount of "hate" my car has gotten along this journey. From people saying I get wheels for free to others say it is impossible to drive this height and that I've ruined the car. It's crazy because these comments are from people who haven't really tried having fun in a lowered RX8, nor know me. My previous setups were all a blast to drive with, street and canyons alike - especially when I was fortunate enough to rock R-S3's! Even my current setup is fun, albeit with a bit lower limit due to the camber and tire choice. Just tired of hearing assumptions and judgments passed about the car/owner without firsthand knowledge. Those who know me personally know I do drive fast and that the whole "Hellaflush" scene is really not my thing at all. Lowered cars, built for the street, can still be fun to drive!!! Do I drive a competitive racecar? No. Do I enjoy a fun to drive street car? Absolutely! Phew, [/rant] haha |
ahhhhh THANK YOU SIR. f*ck the haters, your car is absolutely GORGEOUS

Tilt,
the hate only lets you know your doing it right. Haters pay no attention to things that lack luster! Pops told me Hate is the first sign of success. BRUSH YOUR SHOULDER OFF! |
its useless to fight it, as long as you built the car for you to enjoy that is all that matters.
|
Yeahhhh, admittedly I went on a bit of a rant there, whoops! :lol:
Charles - Precisely :icon_tup: |

|

Sweet 8 tilt. |
