also forgot just put some fortune auto coilovers with swift springs on her

Welcome! I love that Seat... looks pretty stable. Which MS are you running? Any full engine bay pics?

EO2K 10-28-2013 12:45 PM

Paint is looking pretty dull, you should buff that out :brain:

Welcome to the forum. There is a pretty active Roadster group in the greater Bay Area, check out NorCalRoadsters for more info.

Performance wise it sounds pretty good. Since I think it's about what's inside that counts I won't comment on the exterior.

So, are you diagnosing this patient with Slammatosis of the illest form????

braddock01 10-28-2013 02:01 PM

Yea I can get a couple bay pics later today... And it couldent be slammed look at that wheel gap in the front

thenuge26 10-28-2013 02:15 PM

When we say it's slammed, we are more talking about the FA coilovers, 'illest' sticker, spray-paint paint job, etc. than the actual ride height.

If you are serious about tracking the car the first thing I'd do is sell those coilovers on CR.net.

braddock01 10-28-2013 02:42 PM

So the fa 510 series are bad?

18psi 10-28-2013 02:49 PM

more like crap

thenuge26 10-28-2013 02:52 PM

They are unknown (to me). But if they are lightly used you can still probably get near-new price for them on CR.net.

For $1600 you will be MUCH better off with FCM Bilsteins or for a bit more Xida CS.

FA are fine for the drifting crowd, but if you want a real race coilover, buy one from the guys who do real racing in Miatas.

Welcome to the site braddock01, thanks for joining up!

concealer404 10-28-2013 06:00 PM

Welcome.

You need some real injectors, my friend.

TorqueZombie 10-28-2013 07:00 PM

Does "I'm stationed at" and flat spray paint go together?

Odd because I was "stationed at" and spray painted my daily flat black. My reason was mismatched body panels from my buddy hitting me and previous owner dents.

Welcome and good luck.

braddock01 10-28-2013 09:44 PM

Yea the body was kind of beat and I don't really care for new paint since this is just a hobby car something to work on duty days

y8s 10-29-2013 10:22 AM

pro tip: people in / from San Francisco do not call it "san fran" or "frisco".

EO2K 10-29-2013 11:30 AM

Yeah, they call it "The City" and it makes me want to brain them

braddock01 10-29-2013 11:48 PM

yea dosent really bother me what they call it since I am not from here.... just saying.
