On the other side of he coin, I have been at this for a long time and have seen people benefit from my (and others) generosity. Example, helped a guy out with a set of usable tires we no longer needed, he sold them instead of using them as intended. So excuse me if I don't rush off to give away parts. As far as more courtesy, I guess you are entitled to your opinion.

I can post and do my job from my desk.

Leaving to pick up, box and ship parts is not part of my daily routine.

people will always dick other people over, that is part of life. I know that, everyone knows that so you aren't onto anything new there. But in my life, i would rather give someone the benefit of the doubt until they prove that they deserve otherwise. And that apparently, is the difference in opinion so there is no point in going on any further on the subject.

UPS just dropped off the new clutch, pressure plate and flywheel. This is going to have to wait a few weeks to get installed.

Jason@SportsCar · 02-21-2010, 10:30 PM

Fenders are done, looks funny with a 205-50-15 under there.

SilverBack · 02-21-2010, 11:13 PM

I kinda like the fender flares, but are they necessary with only 205/50's?

Also, are those Rota Flights installed?

Those tires were for our test day, took them off the ITA Miata we built a few years back, for now they just hold the car up. We will race on a 23-9.5-15 bias slick (which is 10.4" wide).

No, those are Motegi Traklites.

any shots of the install? I'd like to see how much fender you cut away under there.

In the rear I cut away about .75", and nearly 2" in the front. The rear flares are at the same height as the OE fender, while the fronts are up .5" for extra compression travel.

cali yaris · 02-22-2010, 03:58 PM

did your cuts include the bumper (plastic), or only towards the top, taking away metal fender material?

Both. Just in case we end up staying with the 15"s we wanted to make sure we had lots of clearance - had we committed to 13"s I would have installed the flares without touching the fenders. But we cut away enough material to make up for the weight of the fiberglass flares.

cali yaris · 02-22-2010, 05:50 PM

thanks, that is helpful. I don't want to cut my fenders for the 13's unless I have to.

When we did the math for the 13" slicks, 20-9.5-13 (10.5" wide by 20" dia) we found that the car would hit the ground before it hit the stock fenders. In fact we were only going to be able to lower a .5" from where it is now and be able to maintain what we thought as enough ground clearance.

Your A6s are a little taller (20.9" for the 255), the rear should be fine, the front could be close under compression. If in doubt, pick up some bone yard fenders to hack up.

cali yaris · 02-22-2010, 08:45 PM

I'm probably going to raise it a 1/2" and see where that leads me. I'm also putting in the AOE front sway bar, that should help cut the roll just a little bit more.

did you manage to find the problem of the misfire on cylinder 1 ?
