And more.
Front going together. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4307/...a9f56ffd_b.jpg 20170729_184642 by concealer404, on Flickr Singular ducts going on. I'm not actually sure i can run these, which feels strange to me. I don't think i can bend them to keep them both off the rotor and the tie rod. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4313/...8a0b889d_b.jpg 20170729_211522 by concealer404, on Flickr Brief panic attack before i realized i had these brackets mocked up completely backwards. Interesting choice to put your logo facing toward the engine bay, though. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4311/...7d81d3b1_b.jpg 20170729_212338 by concealer404, on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4307/...4345aa4b_b.jpg 20170729_212405 by concealer404, on Flickr Wow. Such brakes. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4299/...e9629ea5_b.jpg 20170729_214430 by concealer404, on Flickr Super good fitment. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4308/...f0a7641a_b.jpg 20170729_215641 by concealer404, on Flickr Blort. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4310/...6079bd59_b.jpg 20170729_215700 by concealer404, on Flickr |
Y so poke? Are they the +10 ET dongers?
|
They measured at +24mm. So within margin of error of our un-scientific measuring.
I have no reasonable explanation as to why they're so ridiculous, it bothers me and i've been trying to find out why for a month or two. I had to MANGLE the car to get this setup to "fit." I don't even have the necessary spacers in there to clear front suspension in that picture, and it doesn't look a whole lot more "sane" on the ground and in person. It looks AWFUL. Plain doesn't fit. Knowing what i know now, i wish i had ordered the +10 and some flares. |
Looking at those wheels sticking out is kind-of making me sick to my stomach. I empathize with you and hope you come up with a good solution.

I sympathize with your efforts to get ready for the gap. I tried to help Ryan_G to prepare his car for the trip on Saturday. We got his A/C working but his EFR is still puking oil out of the compressor inlet all over the engine bay even though he put a giant drain line on the CHRA.
My car got an upgraded alternator that promptly crapped the voltage regulator and put 18v throughout the car. Yay. Swapped the old one back in and ran bigger wires to the fuse block and battery with good results. Trying to get it right. |
weird... my 10" jongbloeds were at my house in like 4 days from order placement and fit like a glove with a flat roll and aggressive alignment

Obscene mangling of body required.

Not true, this already has me considering buying some salvaged miata to destroy in a similar fashion.

You deserve this for wanting to put poverty rear brakes on the car with everything else you're doing.

Pictures of said mangling? Because we're obviously only watching this to see you destroy things that were once nice and precious.
When the KMiata guys look at your car (They run a 15x10 +25 w/ RC1) and say "Yeahhhh.... that's not right at all" that means it's not right.

Also: MFW i saw that Shandelle is selling the same bracket now. Would have been nice to know awhile back.

I wasn't aware there were any good flare options for the NB.

Probably bulkhead duct flanges from Aircraft Spruce attached to silicone reducers? Its something we've been knocking around the forum for a while. Seems to be fairly effective solution for the NB, not sure how the NA would work.
ALUMINUM FLANGES FOR DUCTING from Aircraft Spruce http://www.aircraftspruce.com/cache/...cs/10350-8.jpg Yep dems. Was way better than paying 5x the price at Pegasus for the same thing. |
let me know what reference point you want to go off of for measurements and we can compare... my 15x10+25 longerdongers fit like butter for the most part
|
I got your number from Jay, i'll shoot you a text later today or tomorrow, thanks! :)

@KMiata

Let's catch up.
Helicoiling M-Tuned brackets because i don't have anything better to do with my time and apparently M-Tuned's QC was bad. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4301/...9e1bcee2_b.jpg 20170730_170626 by concealer404, on Flickr Too long, you start over now. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4327/...8366f92c_b.jpg 20170730_171102 by concealer404, on Flickr I made earrings. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4296/...c8233ee4_b.jpg 20170730_181008 by concealer404, on Flickr Success. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4323/...814f7f12_b.jpg 20170730_182227 by concealer404, on Flickr Slapped in some DTC60s. They lasted almost 200 miles. More on that later. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4301/...50e7def4_b.jpg 20170730_200637 by concealer404, on Flickr Vteckiller2000 and I made a front splitter using questionable materials i had purchased because i thought i was going to have my other uprights in hand. I didn't. Moved forward anyways. Shouldn't have. More on this later. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4353/...27c27400_b.jpg 20170801_005840 by concealer404, on Flickr Looked cool, though. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4442/...88bf71bf_b.jpg download_20170801_232338 by concealer404, on Flickr Heading to MATG. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4332/...133171c8_b.jpg 20170801_220503 by concealer404, on Flickr |
