Look at the camber though. Its like a stancer went to an auto-x liked it and tried to fix the car but hasnt gotten around to getting wheels of proper offset yet.

No, you're wrong. 15x9s with 225s on them will fit under the stock fenders with just a roll if you use a non-ricer offset.

In Stance culture, big weird flares with prominent fasteners > rolling fenders.

Still a good looking car, but not the GRM type...maybe Grassroots HardParking?

Yes but he's not running enough camber to be a stance fag. It really looks like the car used to be stanced but now someone is trying to make it turn.

Been looking at some Miatee locally and I've seen a few that have been stanced and I just want to bring them home and give them the help they deserve. Poor little things don't deserve to be treated that way :(

Then again so many of them are red or black, neither colors I'm interested in owning again so I'm looking at Silver, Blue or Yellow, which haven't been picked on too much by the stancers. Yet.

Talk to pheller about trying to save a stanced Miata.. it goes beyond just replacing springs to save it. Lots of damage from hitting things and scraping pavement, etc. I wouldn't touch one.

In reply to dculberson:

Yeah, that would be a labor of love or just plan on turning them into an Exocet, a Catfish or a Westfield, which would be a cool way to help the poor things live on.

True. But it does have the "leave the headlights up like they're broken even though Miata headlight motors are dead reliable" button pushed, so it's just a matter of time.

But thats worth 10°F on the intake air temps with the stock intake, thats like 1hp, you cant sacrifice that.
