Its not the ride height thats causing the tyres to catch the arch it's because the King Pin Inclination will be miles out because of the adapters and wheel offset, so as you turn the wheel it will go forwards and backwards in the arch. Looking good though. Ahhhh. That makes sense ... Its catching the front bumper... I've "pruned". It a bit but don't wanna get carried away... Its only just catching now. So fingers crossed .. Tyres will sort it ! Managed to get a pair of part warns cheap ish.... Will find out at weekend !

good work on the welding man, love the roof and boot spoilers Cheers matey. Its far from pretty but seems solid enough. Spoilers were eBay specials. Think the roof one was about £60 delivered. Got the ducktail for about the same too

Not really much of an update as such , just a few pics from jollys out I did meet up with jay in his Capri to go for a blast ... Thinking it would be a similar bunch of cars... Ahhhh , slightly out classed All much newer stuff , amg merc BMW. M3, m1 , s1 Audi etc ... Pretty sure my car cost less than a set of tyres for some of these motors ! Still... All nice blokes and to be honest ... Fun per £ I was winning Not got many pics The only ford there... Bonnet open already We set off handy , about 7.30 , up the a5 and then a couple of laps of the evo triangle , stopping for a brew at brenig lake , awesome roads and stunning scenery After this jay and I left the others. And headed over t . Cerrigydrudion , over to bala then across the tops to blauenau and back Stopped for bacon butty , parked up , considering. Fiestas are " small cars" the Mazda looks tiny ! Cracking day ou . And sunny all day. Should of left hardtop home ! Finished work handy last night... Figured I'd take roof off... First time in a couple of years , forget how weird it feels driving topless! Quick blast and stopped to grab a couple of pics on quay at conwy Can't begin to say how much fun these cars are .

Actually managed to get a few miles on the car this weekend , went out and met with a group of owners from Facebook , one of the guys family run the local Mazda dealer , so we met there Weather was pants... Typical, had been roasting all week then day off and rain ! But still had fun... A couple of the guys had more fun than most... Sideways at every roundabout Didnt get as many pics as I should, This was tucked up in the back 500 odd bhp rx7. Apparantly its a rare wide arched Mazda speed one Also this in bodyshop being resprayed. All metal wide arched eunos , used as a pace car over in Japan , After a bit of a natter all headed off over some of our most awesome welsh roads.... No pics till we stopped... Was too much fun Sunday it was sunny !!! Yay for off and out to grab a few pics for the sakura thread Stopped for a brew in prom... Bumped into this fella Had a good natter , sound bloke. Went for a bit if a spin.. I now need a new exhaust.. Mines far too sensible Could bring myself to put the car away... That's like admitting the weekend is over, went for one last drive, through the tunnels ( not the same now I've heard a decent exhaust) Ended up over llanfair beach. Grabbed a few pics

Awesome! They look bloody ace. The colour is spot on for the little Mazda, even down to the centre cap. I might have to buy some hub adapters and borrow them... forever.

The rims look well for sure. The hardtop now needs to remain off until winter - them's the rules!

Lik the new wheels, will have to keep my eye out for you, I'm not too far away in Connah's Quay, often down the coast at weekends, in a very non retro car.
