I was doing open lapping, not my first time..lol, and i was chasing a porsche down and on turn 12 of Toronto Motorsports park he lost some fluid and i was right behind him and i got into it. Tried to save it but it was a futile attempt. was able to correct the initial slide but it pendulumed to the other side like i was on ice.
I started sliding backwards and I thought that since I was still sliding on the track I would slow down but soon as i hit the grass I went faster as it just rained and straight into a concrete barrier where marshals usually stand...
The bright side (if theres such a thing) was that the body took the impact but saved all my running gear and aftermarket suspension parts.
But she was my first and went out on her prime...will be definitely missed.

Coilovers
Got my front coilovers on today, time for the rears tomorrow if the weather clears up.
Definitly in need of an alignment. The sad thing is, this is only like 1/3rd of the way down on the fronts haha. though it probably is a little lower than it will be since the rear is still up so high. Though I can't really go any lower right now because when the a-arms are hanging, the spring runs into the upper a-arm if I try to go any lower. Anyone else had this problem? btw they are the advance design coilovers

About the wing...
The caps are only blacke Tape.
I have my original caps in the basement.
at the moment I´m building some "extensions".
So I have to remove and fit the wing from time to time...
Thats why the caps are not on the wing.
btw. would you be interested in such an extension?
adds height and adjustability for the Mazdaspeed wing.
here are three "design" pictures.
