What a fun time this has been when it has not been raining… On the other hand, what a nightmare in the rain!!! Ordered some 17x8 rims and 225/45/17 all around I have however got the car sideways a little to see how it handles, which is definitely a fun time. Still having fun. But doing 45 on the 990 is not fun. ---

45mph on the 990…due to rain? Ive gone 70mph in the rain on the 90 with decent tires without a problem. Just get used to the car and dont go past the tipping point in the turns. I mean the car handles great if driven properly. The only other car that was more fun in an autocross that I drove in was a Lotus, NOW THAT sticks to the road! Yea this rain sucks. I havent taken the S out in about a week =( So you didn’t go with a staggered fitment for the S? ---

Im just going to go with the same front and back. And yeah, I cant honestly do any faster than that with it raining on the 990. the cement glasses over and the rear tires… well lets say right now they look like cheater slicks. I have no cross tread, hell they are at the wear bar and getting lower. Just hope Monday everything will be in and able to have the new tires on. Its getting pretty dangerous and well if it rains today, the mazdas being driven for sure. See its not bad in little rain… its the shit that glasses up the road is no joke. ---

Im waiting till they get in to get that done. They are said to be showing up monday… seeing as its raining right now, when I get home, looks like I’ll be stalling the mazda. lol Its like jumping into a manual pickup truck. the shifting is such a dramatic difference. ---

I just do to much driving in shitty roads, I dont feel like bottoming out at all. Nor is it anything I care to slam down. I just know I’ll run into issues if I do that. Already low for me considering the cars I’ve had in the past. Id probably mess it up. edit: Probably wont happen till next year anyways with money. I still want to get speakers and a head unit asap because of a blown speaker on the driver side driving me nuts. Also need to get a winter car before winter. ---
