  1. I agree, I have been working closely with Kevan to focus on stability rather than performance (I.E. Engine, exhaust, etc.). We had originally purchased a different set of coilovers, but they were factory recalled due to a leak in the tube so we saved some money and got the Godspeed ones. With the money we saved, we are considering getting a three point strut tower as well but we are going to wait and see how she holds with these parts first. As Second Gen said, no adjustable stuff from the factory... but many do claim that the default settings from Mazda are decent enough to get the job done. I'm no expert, but I'v always felt in control at autocross. I blame driver skill for poor performance, haha Coilovers are due here sometime early next week. More pics to come very soon!
  2. I Thought I would resurrect this thread since I have made a few purchases for the upcoming autocross season. While the overall goal of project "Banshee" is to turn it into a 4 rotor someday, I wanted to document all the parts and their instillation in the upcoming weeks. This is the first time in my life I have dumped money into my car and I am very excited to be honest. In the next few weeks all these parts will go on the car. I plan on documenting things and posting photos to this tread as they go on the car. STAY TUNED! http://i.imgur.com/NvRTauq.png Parts in the image above: * Moog End Link (Right, and Left side) x2 * NGK Iridium Spark Plugs x4 * NGK Plug Wire Set x4 * OEM Mazda Coil Packs x4 * Hotchkis Sport Sway Bar Set (Front and Rear) * Radiator COOLANT Reservoir / Bottle, OEM (Not pictured, in the mail currently) * Godspeed SE3P Mono-SS Coilovers (Front and Rear) (Not pictured, in the mail currently)
  3. Well, the background can be easily removed in the printing process. I uploaded a 300 DPI image so the recreation to sticker should be seamless. A one color, no background set of 50 from carstickers.com would run us about $78 which puts each of them at ~$1.56 a sticker. A set of 30 would be $58.50 ( or ~$1.95 each) If there was serious interest in this then I would be fine with paying for them and asking anyone to just chip in what they feel its worth. I am not here to make money, i'm here to enjoy cars. haha! so far I have seen about 5 or 6 people who have confirmed that they would use the sticker, So I would be interested to know what all of CR thinks before I would commit to purchasing these.
  4. I'm There! Should be a great time
  5. Well, if this actually happens I would be more then happy to make you a special one-of-a-kind sticker haha I am currently researching and going through the proper channels to see what a set of stickers would cost.
  6. ok! You can take your pick of which one you like. To me, the second one is the best of the two http://i.imgur.com/LZsPGos.png http://i.imgur.com/QaCOjyL.png
  7. Something is coming... Special CR Preview of what i'm working on. http://i.imgur.com/5QgQqKa.jpg http://i.imgur.com/NF8ncFL.jpg
  8. Ok, Long time since my last update... but its been busy so here is what I got. The link below will take you to a 3200x2400 image of the first image in White. I have also provided the wire frame version for anyone who is interested in that sort of thing. My measurements have made the text on the bottom perfectly centered to the larger text. in the end. http://imgur.com/a/STbh8 **The image below is not the high quality version, just for display** http://i.imgur.com/Xyi8Rpp.jpg For craps, I also made this version and thought I would post it to the thread as well. http://i.imgur.com/zEJEEZ0.jpg
  9. all depends on how you use them. If you baby them and don't thrash them then they can last longer, but if you thrash them and red line before every gear change then they will degrade sooner. The reason for most (not all but most) rebuilds are the wearing down of the apex seals which typically last ~100k miles. My current engine has about 75k in its seals, so a rebuild is likely for me within a year or so.
  10. thanks for the continuing support everyone. The internet has been down in the office and I have been slammed in work at home. Let me see if I can get a high resolution version of post #63 in a few different versions so anyone can print it. This has been a really fun project and i'm happy with the comments and feed back so far.
  11. Early prototypes of a retro/Shelby font. very much a work in progress, haha My research is showing that that design is a "Ford Only" thing and there is no font I can find that is close to that. My troubles continued when I tried to split a line down the middle of the font in the previous logo. The font is called "Good Times" and it REALLY does not like to be split. I am manipulating shapes to make my own custom design. I will post more as the day goes on. http://i.imgur.com/BSo4zm5.png
  12. Ok, the good news is that I should be able to do that Clay, The bad news is i'm beat and i'm going to bed. I'll work on more of them at work. I will post more tomorrow. Keep the feedback coming!
  13. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I can do that.... let me check something before going to sleep.
  14. Miller, you wanted a high resolution version of the blue one? I made a red one as well for fun. http://i.imgur.com/VKyzByk.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Zt6S15S.jpg http://i.imgur.com/FASkhqI.jpg
  15. Something like this? i'm just experimenting, I have a few other idea's in mind http://i.imgur.com/hGykXw5.jpg
  16. Sure, i'll work on a concept at work Thanks man, I am really happy and humbled to be part of this community. You guys have spent so much time building something great and I really want to give back in anyway I can so that I can help keep it great. I will keep creating things until I get it right
  17. WOW! thanks for the feedback guys, I'll post a blue 2D vector version sometime this weeekend. I'm out and about right now. The logo belongs to the community as far as i'm concerned, so everyone is welcome to use it unless an admin tells me otherwise.
  18. Unfortunately I can't do anymore without Photoshop. I will evolve this over the weekend. Feel free to give out feedback at CC&C on Saturday, i'll be there.
  19. When you put this one next to the others it stands out quite a bit http://i.imgur.com/s2c9zcO.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6XR8mOz.jpg
  20. Now I'm making progress. I like how this one is turning out. http://i.imgur.com/5aQsjWD.jpg http://i.imgur.com/dMkGi0j.jpg
