My new racing shoes. (56k Go away)
I went to Watkins Glen this weekend and took some pictures in the Garage of my car with my racing rims and coilovers on. I know some people will say lower it more, but keep in mind the tires are 215/45/16's, with my RSX rims and tires i have a 1 finger gap.
Rims are Rota Slipstreams in Steel Gray 16x7 45 offset. Drop is on Ground Controls, 3 threads from the bottom.

oh jeez adam!! when did this happen?? they look good, how do they work? how was watkins glenn? was it a racing series or why did you go?
PS - why ground controls? and are you on OEM shocks or did you change those too? i hear the GC/koni (or is it KYB) setup is very popular w/ miatas, but id still rather get full coilovers...whats the deal?

The car feels alot better with the lighter rims, alot more responsive, and of course the Azenis rocked for the track, so much grip i was amazed.
I'm on the ground controls with the stock shocks for now, i plan on getting the Konis pretty soon.
impulse: Yea i'll update my sig when my friend sends me the picture of me coming out of the toe of the boot
I passed that RX-8 btw, a couple times, the Minis though....those buggers can take turns FAST!

its 35 bucks a year for membership and about 175 for the Day at Lime Rock. WELL worth every penny. I paid 325 bucks for 2 days at Watkins Glen and i would do it again in a heartbeat, money never has been spent so well

i wish there was some sort of a package deal where they fly you and your car to germany to do the neurburgring (or however you spell it). that would be an AWESOME trip...but probably impossible.
