I'll get some pics.. Tyre tread is worn, they all need new tyres.. [Hence why i put my 18's on!]

Wired in a LED stoplight to match the rear taillights. Suits it much better.

Opened my car door to take myself to the doctor, and found a big brown spider had set up camp in the door seal thingy. Then I checked the other three and found similar spidey webs in there as well. Ack!

He said hello to my friend the stick, and then to my shoe. The bastard.

Obsessed over my paranoia that the rear passenger wheel/tyre sticks out more then the driver side one.

andrewck 27-05-2008 08:49 PM

My SP20 is in getting repaired as I speak should be back by Friday all fixed and looking like new

Could it be that the axle was bent/disaligned from the acco???

DavoAust 27-05-2008 09:47 PM

or his guard was flattened a bit, its more likely

Rupewrecht 27-05-2008 10:32 PM

Or he has more camber on one side!

But more likely bodywork i'd think

Plutonus 28-05-2008 12:03 AM

Geez guys, stop trying to cure my paranoia :P

Well ever since the accident it did scrape the tyre with a heavy load (yay bits of rubber coming off) but I think that was due to jagged metal. Got the damage fixed Then I put Rupe's (my) rims on and it just squeaks heaps on that wheel now when going over bumps (which is everywhere... yay NSW country roads).

Rupewrecht 28-05-2008 12:08 AM

You may need to get the rear guard edges rolled, as they are a 215/45. And the +37 offset wouldn't help there, as they're fairly flush with the guard edges by intent.

I ran a fair bit of camber - but also had the car so low that the tops of the tyres were tucked up into the rear guards - so i didn't think you'd have a problem with only a 30-40mm drop.

Plutonus 28-05-2008 12:11 AM

To clarify here Rupe - it doesn't scrape anymore since the damage was fixed, it just squeaks. Don't know if thats a sign for new shockies or what or if I need guards rolled.

Doesn't happen on drivers side.

Rupewrecht 28-05-2008 12:24 AM

Ah, probably just shocks then. If it's a kind of rattly squeak, it's possibly the inverted cup at the top of the stock shocks - they have a habit of becoming loose and jiggling around a bit.

pr1mo 28-05-2008 01:21 AM

yeah or the cup could have ripped in half and not be sitting in the seat properley. theyre $20 from mazda to replace

cheers mike
