    Mazda OE cam bolts

    Right...I probably should have figured that out from the torque spec... Still not what I have listed. Not sure why there's two part numbers. The L321 is probably the correct one. The L3 parts usually refer to our engines (L3-VDT) and the LF parts are usually for the regular 2.0/2.3/2.5 duratec...

    Mazda OE cam bolts

    No idea what that bolt is, but it's not the part number I see on Mazdaspeed Motorsports for cam bolts.

    "Silver Demon v2" build

    I forgot to document this here: Currently the threads in the "frame" (really just a nut that's welded to the topside of the subframe) are gone. The original bolt is an M12x1.25. The subframe nut which was helicoiled by one of the previous owners stripped during one of the RMM reinstallations...

    After I got back from midwest meet, I changed the oil and when I was looking at my DW's, I realized the 2-3/32nds I had before midwest meet were now gone, so I ordered some new rubber. In the meantime one of my roommates and I autocrossed the car since his C5 Z06 is down. As you can tell, I...

    Time for new Clutch. Need Recomendations.

    Haha! I was telling someone at midwest meet, what I do is when I'm on the highway I put the seat all the way back for legroom, but soon as traffic slows down I slide it 2-3 notches forward so I can get enough leverage to work it in traffic comfortably.

    Time for new Clutch. Need Recomendations.

    Bahahaha. I believe your exact words were "I can't even drive this thing". Honestly though I've felt worse. phate used to have some ridiculously stiff clutch in his speed6 and the OG ACT 6 puck was heavy as fuck. The thing is like Alex said, the disc has such a smooth engagement that once you...

    Time for new Clutch. Need Recomendations.

    The south bend stage 3 endurance is all right. My only issues with it are that it's overpriced and pedal effort is a little on the high side. Idk how many miles are on it. I think it's been reused at least once (it's kevlar so I'm sure the disc is very long lived). @HawkeyeGeoff the PO of my car...

    2017 Midwest Meet: August 18-21, StL

    I brought a few. Still 9 hours away unfortunately. Can't wait to try that perennial stuff for real. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

    2017 Midwest Meet: August 18-21, StL

    Can confirm. Last year's selection was tremendous.

    Resurrect the radiator!

    Yeah...I'd pay good money for an upgraded rad with an integrated oil cooler...

    Yeah...I've got a bunch of homebrew I need to get rid of. I'll be bringing some stuff.

    It may or may not be an actual issue, but what I didn't show in the post above was that the inner edge of one of the bushings in the 2007's RMM was pretty chewed up from what was obviously some kind of movement, misalignment, or bushing deflection that shouldn't have been there. Contrast that...

    No need, leave it dangling by the PMM and TMM. They are designed to handle the full weight of the assembly. Notice that I only loosened the other two mounts. I didn't remove them.

    "Silver Demon v2" build

    Nope. TOTD. Yeah...technically. Geoff never got the Xona Rotor tune finished AFAIK. Least I have my tuning sorted even if it makes less power than the 6156 on a base map lol. Maybe v2.5? Actually maybe it should be 0.5 with this little baby turbo on it. I've been trying to chase down a clunk...

    I didn't have remote hose clamp pliers. Otherwise it would have been a half hour job. Yesterday this happened, while I was driving no less. Made for one of the most interesting "limp the car home" experiences of my life. For sure this is the last straw with the GC camber plates. I am so...

    Sho's 2007 ms3 build

    I saw one for sale not long ago for a pretty reasonable price. If your tuner found a way to make it work, I'm sure I can, too. Are you on Versatune, or Cobb?

    Sho's 2007 ms3 build

    That's very impressive. In that case I will probably pick one up and experiment with it. Have you altered your fueling tables at all?

    Out of curiosity, how much extra fuel does the 2150 psi relief valve allow your car to flow?

    Sho's 2007 ms3 build

    Your experience seems different than mine for some reason. When my internals failed (due to stiction between the piston and cylinder caused by "gas residue" according to Autotech per their analysis), I went from having normal logs, to feeling some breakup at WOT, to this, which I realize almost...
