My FE3 progress thread

Those are the exact dimensions of my Mustang wheels. In to see how snug they fit with 215's... You have mx3 lca's and ttl's, right? Which ball joints are you using Ryan?

RX7 balljoints. i have HEAPS of room in the front. & once i get the rear strut bodies built up i shouldn't have any issues with rim clearance. (fingers crossed tho)

Edit** how much do your mustang wheels weigh/each

[CODY004WD]

They weigh exactly heaps... Not sure really. I'll dig it up from the net.

As far as clearance, I know I'll have plenty of strut clearance, as well as frame rail clearance. I'm slightly worried about fender clearance, but that could well be different between the Mazda's and the FoMoCo offerings. I know I'll have no issues finding a proper fender roller, and I don't mind pulling/stretching the fenders, so not really an issue. I am hoping to step up to 16x8 +25 wheels eventually this summer. (that's when I'll be doing the Mazda6 brakes, and motor swap too.) (oh and those rotors you have should be 11.8" if they're 06-07)

[FE3-323]

the rotors i have are ~12.75 or so. freaking huge!!! no idea what they are really from/for

Nice job on the custom coilovers, they look great. What kind of price range are the custom valved Konis?

[FE3-323]

????? what koni's ???? and the coilovers are far from complete.....

[FE3-323]

Well...... i sold my crotch rocket.... time to buy a standalone.
Toss in your 2 cents on what to buy. please note- ***** MEGASQUIRT**** is not an answer & is completely out of the question

I say use Vi-PEC's plug in ECU for the 323 gtx/gtr/miata. Uses stock ecu case, plugs in, has a quicktune function, antilag system, flatshift, and other good stuff.

Haltech?

Tell us why you choose not to go MS and it might narrow down alternatives

+1 for the vi-pec v44 pnp, i'm very tempted too, expensive but lot of nice features too.
