the pads don't touch black. Just to make the Bronze Wheels and Red calipers stand out a bit more. |

It looks great in person too.

Wheel size would limit the amount of low alot. I have 1 finger between fender and tyre and i can fit my jack (140mm high) under. I suppose that's why i haven't had any cop attention. Even when being rbtd by hwp.

I need stiffer springs in the back. Body work like proper flowing flares might be on the cards after I get it turbo'd. |

Sits perfect as it is and you have the bonus of more rubber on the road.

Should probably update this.. been a bit lazy lol
Anyway, I have bought another SP20 mainly for the motor and to wreck, got it cheap because was a write off. Other things have happened as well, first of all there was this little box with some super rare AutoExe goodies inside that I have now fitted to my car Little box of happiness Oooohhhh! Aaaahhhh! Rear Subframe down Autoexe is much thicker than the OEM Mazda bracket 24mm hole had to be drilled to fit these brackets that were made up for the Autoexe set, After drilling the hole, I thought that the hole was way too big, noticed that I wasnt able to drill a hole that big for the fronts. But had a soultion!! My solution was to grind the bracketry down with the bench grinder. Ground down the brackets for the rear down 4mm for ease of getting it in the hole. Right side rear brace on. Left side rear brace on. |

So since I ground down the rear bracketry down 4mm and I knew I wasnt able to drill a 24mm hole for the front bracing,
I had to grind the brackety down from 24mm to 16mm since the front of the chassis rail is much narrower than the rear. Also there is less room above since the floor is directly above. The front required a 12mm hole drilled and then had to be elongated by a dremmel to get the extra clearance. Right front on. Left front on. There was a noticeable change in the front. Cant really tell if there is a difference in the rear arround town. But get it out on a nice windy road and you can definitely feel the rear. |

Got the turbo at World Time Attack, seen the guys at GCG Turbos.
All up $1600, the rear housing options were fairly new when I purchased it |

That second photo is great!
