no its completely fine short term. just get it aligned and you're fine

Just incase anyone is faced w this...I have the firestone life time alignment and they gave me lots of bull about if its too low or modified....saying they can't do it, that it will damage going on rack. I got the guy to try it and it just bareeely clears it...the only ramps that work for low cars r the old ones. Im sitting now getting it aligned @ south land mall firestone, hopefully they do a good job...

superhypered

man what setup did you do that made it that low? id like to see this setup soon, as im going to be swapping out my coils and shocks in the near future

laythor

the other option is go to a shop that specializes in aligning sport cars

Thanks for the web site/info. since firestone is able to do it I will continue going there, its practically free.. Paid $142 and already got 3 alignments +...its a lifetime deal as long as I own the car I dont pay anything more...

laythor

if the car is stock then no harm at all going to Firestone. If you ever put after market wheels or suspension I would suggest against them.

Superhypered, I live in san leandro, if you dont mind the drive I can meet up with you in s.l, otherwise I have a few min after work on mondays.. I work close to the union city chp station and I get off at 3:45pm... I got megan coilovers my f drop is somewhere around 2.25-2.6

superhypered

thats not even an hour drive for me, and no tolls.. I may take you up on that offer. Best day would be this wednesday, I'm free all day. Today I work, tromorrow I got bowling, thursday - next monday I work, then next Tuesday I depart for socal enroute to vegas.

just PM me I guess

and nice set up, Im picking up some Tein S Tech springs next week, and that alone should give me about an inch drop total (little less than a inch in the rear). Im not sure how much Koni yellow struts drop it, but thats on my list for the future too. I've got big plans within the next few months now

ok problem solved. there was a total of 3 problems. flooded, battery, and ignition coils. i already knew it was flooded and the ignition coils had to be replaced which i did on my own. as for the battery, i knew it was going out but i thought i had more time before i NEEDED to replace it but i think i killed it trying to deflood it. Putnam mazda in burlingame CA deflooded and replaced the battery for $300. apparently the battery i had was only puttin out 430 cold cranking amps, 675 is recomended haha

thanks for everyones input. special thanks to superhyped for comin out to use his obd scanned. car is fixed now =)



so whens the next meet?

superhypered

yay! and.. 675 cranking amps is recommended? if i remember correctly, Paul @ Rotorsport said 1000 amps is recommended.. idk, probably easier. Im going to look into all that stuff when i get more money.

and theres going to be a meet in Santa Cruz at 8:30 to 10 or so..

Datsun/Mazda meet. and by Mazda, I mean RX7, as in, its not on this forum... texting you details..

superhypered

Jooleean

.... jeeez. how did you do that? you okay man? :[ pooor 8. i hope you get it fixed and stuff.

superhypered

my guess is slick tires, my car is perfect on those roads, dry weather, everything. But I did use tire shine, armor all's foam stuff.. May have oversprayed..
