+1.

And when I first saw the post on the Mazda3 board, it was when the other TM3 board was down.

UPDATE: Jan 04/07

Well winter is here, so the bike got some fuel stabilizer and the car got some new snow shoes.





The suede is also gone on the dash. The clips were getting in the way and made some akward spots if you looked up close. I painted the strip a 'universal' metallic black. Its not as flashy or original, but everyone who's seen the suede seems to like this better, its cleaner. Meh, all the same, as long as its not stock right?

[3GFX]

Well, I went and picked up some stuff, only problem is they ain't goin on anytime soon. Weather needs to get better back home, and I need to sell my stock rims first.

Notice the custom exhaust? You gotta come just to hear it, louder than your vibrant! ( and from only 200cc )

[bubba1983]

[3GFX]

TEASE!!

Just a little....the real tease is the fact that I've got them, but can't put them on yet

nice ride...looks quasi-familiar .
Mind if I ask what kind of paint you used to do the lines on the engine cover?
Thanks!

Thanks!

The lines on the cover are just regular pinstripes. I plan on actually doing some work to the cover this year, paint is on the way.

Well, I'm super excited...the rims are waiting taunting me everyday. I've got a set of General Exclaim UHPs on order from SSG. Props to him on a good deal. Anyway, once those come in I'm gonna slap the new shoes on the car. Problem is that the long term forecast shows both snow for Toronto and even more for Kitchener (my hometown). So hopefully by the time I slap em on, the snow will be gone.

I'm super duper excited and I can't wait.

Another pic....

Can't wait to see them on the car...preferably without the bag on them

Well I threw on my new rims!!! I'm gonna try and take some better pics soon, but you get the idea.

I'm super happy with the look, I know I'm slightly SUVish at the moment, but I can't quite get springs yet because the front rim offset and track is a little large, but I'll look into it.

Thanks for looking!

Cool rims. I like! What brand are they? +1 on needing a drop.

[3GFX]

The rims are 18" x 7.5" Advanti/TFT Racing T429
C30 Volvo replica wheels, with a few additions.

They sit on General Exclaim UHP 225/40/R18 92W.

I'll eventually be looking into a small drop, but I have to investigate my offset a little more.

EDIT: Almost forgot!!!

SHOUTOUTS:

Thanks to Megawheelz (www.megawheelz.com) for the rims.

Thanks to Simon at Rowetech, very helpful and professional (and I got to see the "Acurabot" up close)

Thanks to Supershyguy (Peter) at "NextMod" for the tires, I love em.

[FLIPDADY]

Nice rims man!

+1,000 on the drop. Maybe Pearly can help you with that.

[Nextmod]
