Small Update: Brakes are done, feel great , car stops very quickly with new tires and brakes without even getting into ABS. I have an alignment scheduled for this week as well. Sway bar is "done" the install took some time to make sure it clears all the things when it is loaded and unloaded...

They are pretty chonky. I think I could fit wider in the back "more inward" but idk about the front.

Smol Update: Wheels and tires are on. Happy with how they turned out. Still needs an alignment. I did raise the front up as well , the default height on the meisters was super low. Not sure if it is where I like it yet or not but it is easy to adjust. FALKEN - AZENIS RT660+ 255 /40 R18 99W XL...

Part of me still thinks the fuel pressure sensor is not working properly. It should be commanding 430ish psi at idle and in the logs you can see it reading 800 -1300 when the car is hot. HPFP Desired Pressure A table in the tune is commanding 430 psi at idle — so 800–1300 psi reported at idle...

I believe I just cut it further back and capped off the vapor line. I haven't noticed any issues. I used the RX8 oem main feed line as a return line and did my own ptfe 6an line for the feed from the pump to the regulator. I also thought about keeping it stock lines but it was really not crazy...

You rebuild the axles , rx8 on the hub side and explorer on the diff side. This is the reason I needed the axles from the junk yard too. They have a lifetime warranty on their cv axles so if it brakes they send you a new center section. You also need to weld their section to the existing...

Updates: I was not in a hurry to do this but it all kinda fell into place. A guy was selling the Ronin 8.8 kit for 500$ off because he never used it and dropped the project. It is currently on the way. This kit will allow me to drive the car like an idiot and do hard launches without worrying...

From the top of my head I am pretty sure it is only live when the key is set to ON or START. I can't recall if I tested it. I do have a draw which I have not tracked down but I was leaning towards the dying bose amp. Right now I just turn off the battery in the trunk when it might sit for a...

It depends on what mods you want in the future but if you don't plan on crazy power and just want a little more than stock fun times I would go ebay to get by until you decide to do something else.

If you need a new TIP you could just swoop the ebay one. I am not sure if it works with the nano though. As long as you do not mess with the MAF housing size you don't need a tune change. Mazda Mazdaspeed3 Mazdaspeed6 MPS 2.3L Silicone Inlet Turbo Intake Hose Kit

Yes, if it is pulling in a bunch of unmetered air the tune could be going into safety mode and trying to stop you from doing something dumb. I had a similar issue when a buddy of mine deleted his vtcs and forgot to plug the port on the intake manifold. It was not a very big hole but it made the...

Do a boost leak test/smoke test, it sounds like you have a massive vac leak. If the EBCS is not working that would not stop the car from driving/idling well and going WOT. It would just cause issues with boost control.

What are your mods, when did it start doing it?

I know people have also got it working with the android auto add on displays. Might be able to do something like that if you wanted to add car play / android auto and get some gauges. https://forum.realdash.net/t/connectivity-issues-haltech-can/6261/3
