slammed!!!
slammed is tha only way to go with a true mazda! no matter if its a truck or car!!!!
|
Be serious, slammed is for punks. :p
|
Slammed is great for cornering, race track and looks.
Slammed is bad for speed bumps, driveway ends, snow, pot holes, parking spots with cement blocks. |
.... and I add, your back and bottom too. SLAMMED almost always means a hard and bouncy ride. 'Not very practical for a daily driver. |
At least in the Honda world, "Slammed" means:
There is a marked difference between "Tastefully lowered" and "Slammed". |
WOW, didnt expect that kinda response! lol my Axela is professionally lowered for handling, but it rides great!!!

check out my garage photos and plz let me know what you think! i take pride in my mazda (christine). i have spent alot of time and money in her, and she is also a daily driver!!! over 100 miles a day to and from work:cool:
|
While your car is probably perfectly acceptable for track usage, here in New England it would be totally impractical. So, while many will disagree, it's definitely too low for my tastes and my driving environment.
|
WOW!! It looks Great! What are you lowered on... Sportkit? S-Tech's? Coilovers? That's got to be at least a 1.8- 2" drop. Bronze Rota Revs?? |
i really like u noticed tha bronze rota rev's!!!! its a 2" in tha front and a 2.2 i believe in tha rear! (not 100 % on that) i live just out of birmingham, alabama an the roads here are crap! not built for "slammed" cars!!!!!!!!!!!! ive ran a couple of runs with her/ not on a track but the handeling is emaculant!!!!! still wana c about doing a turbo install if i dont sell her and upgrade to a speed3. any ideas to help?:D
|
Slammed has nothing to do with performance. In fact it often means driving slower than flow of traffic. In short, low performance.
I have my Lexus mildly lowered on Eibach 350 springs (same as the OEM F-Sport Lexus lowering springs). |
well the wheels are no longer bronze! they are black now
|
Issue solved. Thread pruned. |

I gave up on doing a turbo, so I haven't looked at them in a while. It's a pretty big expense... in the $4-$5,000 range to do it right and get the bugs worked out. Plus you will not be able to do any high-boosting unless you upgrade the engine internals. Forged internals (at least pistons and rods) are a must to go much beyond 6-8psi. |
wow thaT IS ALOT didnt realize it would only boost that little bit! Guess its time to sell and get a built honda lol! just a joke<nobody freak out
|
That's why the MS3 engine has forged internals. W/O them, too much pressure and ZOOM-ZOOM-BOOM! Also keep in mind that your 3 (and mine) has an open differential, not a limited slip one, so half of the power is already wasted.... in any slippery situation its all wasted. Plus wheel spin could cause an overboost situation and w/o the added assurance (insurance) of forged internals you could more easily hit redline and blow it up. You could still add a low-boost system which should be good for another 30-50hp when boosting? Just don't expect to mutiply hp by a factor of 3 with that setup. The rest of the car would have to be built to withstand the added strain. |
wow, so im looking at alot of money jus ta get to a ms3 set up? not what i wanted to hear! any ides as far as bolt ons to improve performance and handeling?
