yep had them on my old HD and then on my white HE.
might be getting real ones in 19's as soon as i have some funds.




im really happy with that drop but maybe rear needs to be dropped another 20mm or so.
we shall see when i get mags,then i can measure if i need a drop


here are my old sentias


cheers

yeah i agree with you.it flows much better with the rest of the car if you look side on


just bought this exhaust

[firelizard]

Good start good start.


That Sentia has something different about it... doesn't look quite like the 929s we had over here

[//935GS400]

cool..theres allot of sentias out there in japan. keep us updated.

[Damicci]

Sentias/929's are nice. Definitely another one of those non platform but very capable cars. Keep us updated.

not platform? i would understand if it was fwd but its rwd.

nope, not a platform, but is still acceptable and respectable in vip community

I think it was never accepted as a true platform because it never came with a V8. Mazda threw in its lousy under powered V6 from the MPV.

Really Nice Sentia BTW. I just picked up an HD a few months back and have been workin on it to bring it up to VIP status too. I think I might start a build thread as well.

[antbo]

i wonder why its non platform? it has leather, RWD, chrome trim, 4 doors similar features as lexus and infiniti

[charley240sx]

and is probably the flagship vehicle for mazda. but it didnt do well though.

u are right it was a luxury flagship car mazda ever made,but yeah didnt sell well as no one believed in mazdas at that stage.oh well i believe in them.ive got 3rd one now and i never had any problems with previous ones

antbo: well mine doesnt have leather but higher specs one did.

wish it was a platform lol:)i mean cmon its same size as ls400/celsior or gloria/cedric

yep i will kepp you updated.next thing on the list are mags,might take a few months to save up plus i will be getting them from japan.

cheers guys]

so i have measured up what offset will fit
and with camber ive got now i can fit 9" +25 in the back.thats without fender rolling and any other camber adjustment
so if i roll fenders and camber even more i shoulb be able to fit something around +20 or even lower.
but fronts have got way more space then back so i guess i will go with 8 by +20 and use spacers
so i think this set up will be just fine for now(well until i can actually afford to get mags lol)
time to save up some $$

[SkidMark]

I really dig the 929s (especially the white one)... i have yet to see one modded here in the states and would look good sittin' parked next to my Mazda5. hehe...

Sorry for my lack of knowledge... I meant 929s in general don't get much love out here.

lol its ok:)
well HD's were quiet popular back then.bu thenagain they werent tat popular anywhere.sometimes i feel like the only obsessed sentia freak

[alpha]

so i scored a good deal on some 17s.
they are only temporary until i can save up and order some 19's from japan
they are 17x7 +38 offset so yeah very weak lol.
so dont laugh at me
well better then my stock 15s





i will try to get adjusties from yahoo auctions by the end of a year, so i can go way lower then im now. if funds will allow me
