Ok folks, here’s a you tuber that is DEFINITELY worth watching! Project Farm Here is the rundown of the final 2 synthetic oil competitors from a great many. Unbiased and really good testing I was shocked at the results. That said I don’t know if it covers Enki’s thorough talk about chemical...

The increase NVH with the CS stage2 is almost nonexistent. I’m not joking or over exaggerating. Is it more than stock? Yes but very slight even at the low RPMs and when the A/C switches on and off. I was shocked at minimal amount. I was expecting much, MUCH more from reading threads and...

Ok random thought purge again. Apologies in advance. So Enki, Am I looking at your pic correctly? You’re not even running an intercooler?! Just water/meth from 2 nozzles mid turbo and TB with an increase in pipe diameter to cool it down. That is interesting! So many questions... Ok so I...

Thanks for posting that picture! I should have taking one before I took the old mount off. Thanks for posting that pic so you can see the difference. I should have taken one before I took the old mount off. A pictures is worth a thousand words and trying to explain the difference is kinda hard...

Thank you! and sorry. Now I’m cringing at MY post. :( My ramblings are more me talking it out, what’s going on in my head and why I thinking what I’m thinking. Basically I’m throwing it all out there ( no real filter) so someone can explain why it is, or is not, a good idea. Which your sir...

The Speed3 is extremely versatile. While the lowered suspension doesn’t help when loaded to the gills with drinks and snacks for my store. The fact I’m able to fit it all in and move through traffic and get from San Diego to Temecula quickly is nice. Nicer ride than my FordE150 and better on...

BOLD CLAIM ALERT - It’s the best rear motor mount for the Speed3 period. Why? Because it moves the pivot point forward. No other RMM does that. Basically it turned an elbow into a wrist. Once you see it in action that analogy will make sense. Hows the cabin noise?- Barely noticeable increase and...

Give peace a chance man ( peace sign). Sorry I’m a bit of a smart ass. Ok so CS did a study on their Ram Air intake (using the hood scoop solely for air) and their Short Ram intake on a stock turbo. https://corksport.com/blog/flow-test-results-%e2%80%93-mazdaspeed-3-fmic-for-sri-vs-ram-air/ So...

MadMike here with more out of the box thinking. Can someone please make a front lip that sits ultra low but is spring arm loaded and has roller blade wheels on it so that it can move up and down and ROLL over the surface of a speed bump, dip, driveway etc. Fuck man! We aren’t talking quantum...

Ohhh and thank you for the heads up on the TB. But CS is saying just using theirs would increase performance ( chart included in their page). I know everyone is trying to tout gains to increase sales but this IS something I’m curious about and don’t have anything to bounce it off of. Also the...

Thank you guys so much an intelligent conversation on this! Sorry I’m using my phone and I’m not real ssvay on the whole forum platform. Also I don’t want or mean to come off as a stickup knowit all asshole, I just want to apply the knowledge and engineering stuff I know to stuff that I don’t...

Thank you for this! This is exactly what I’m trying to map out. Ok let me go through this... brain storming so.. 1. I want a set up for the street and not track or drag strip so I’m not looking at extended high rpms. I’m also not looking to do clutch dumps or hard starts. So that said the A/C...

Sooo submited an idea to CS about making a air/water intercooler chilled via A/C for the Speed3 but I haven’t gotten a reply yet. Being drunk when I tapped it out might have something to do with that. Guess I’ll have piece meal the thing together myself :( I actually want to make a unit that...
