    New from VA

    What's up? The name is Kevin, and I'm from Roanoke, VA. I drive a 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 with quite a few mods, and have been lurking somewhat for a while now, but figured that it was time to join now that modifications are picking back up for 2011.

    These are the last pictures I had taken of my car before I had to sell the wheels (got married in December). I just ordered a new set of wheels with a little more aggressive fitment, and a bunch of other smaller additions, so after everything gets installed, I will be making a new post with new pictures.

    Previous wheel/tire/suspension setup:

    -18x8.5" +48 Rota SVN's powdercoated Blue Ice Explosion with Silver Metallic Flake
    -235/40/18 Falken RT-615s
    -BC coilovers, 1 rear collar removed and maxed out, front evened out
    -rear fenders rolled
    -OEM camber




    Close-up of the finish on the wheels










    Hope to get to know some of you, and hopefully make it to some type of meet in the future. This seems like a chill place.

    well I am confused, because it is the OEM mazdaspeed 3 hood lol. The normal mazda 3 hood is flat, this one is bulged to accomodate the turbo/intercooler setup.

    Thanks

    VA represent!!

    You guys should make territory-specific canibeat stickers with like the different stats on it. Maybe the outline of each state in the background of the sticker or something Just an idear.

    Thanks guys. I can't wait to get better pics and get all of my new parts installed. I have a pile of parts accumulated at the house waiting on my wheels and tires now, and better weather. Those pictures above are from my cell phone, so I will try to get better pics up asap.

    Here is an older picture with my dad's GTO before I had the wheels powdercoated:

    Why not do that idea for yourself. But of course you can't use the canibeat name. Like "VA - MAZDA STATUS: BALLIN" or something. lol Welcome

    ^^ haha true, I guess I could.

    Received my new wheels and tires in the mail yesterday. Setup will be 18x8.5" +40 on 225/40/18, and lowering the coils some more. Will be mounted in 2 weeks when I begin working on the stance some more.

    Here are a few teaser pics, concaveness ftw!:
