Compressor wheel comes off with housing- *** REVERSE THREADED NUT***

Rear Spring Adjusters two of these: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway-Adjustable-Hidden-Spring-Shim,3389.html There isn't a lock on these adjuster, but honestly they haven't shown any movement. and importantly a cut ¼” LPDE spacer to make sure that the adjuster doesn’t hit the...

Dropping rear suspension MR data here, as of now no place to put this:

Preliminary Findings from Rear Suspension These data from the test of the setup. there was not a grid setup to precisely divide X and Y by the centerline of the car, data was collected by eye and by 64th ruler. This was collected off the rear suspension pickup points, from full droop to a...

Most of the suspension/alignment measurement that people talk about relates to the angle of the wheel and how relates to the centerline of the car, laterally. Examples: -Toe: the lateral distance between the front end and rear end of the wheel/tire, can be expressed as an angle -Camber: the...

As part of preparing racecar for the first race, I quickly had to fabricate some spring seats for 2.5" eibach springs. Originally, @xfeejayx; and I talked about advanced tophats/spring mounts incorporating spherical bearings, potentially a rodend, modifying damper rod location and extension. (As...

you might already have these resources, but posting, just in case. http://www.scramblercycle.com/uploads/3/8/9/5/3895611/honda_cb250_cl250_cb350_and_cl350_workshop_manual.pdf http://www.dansmc.com/electricaltesting.htm

Fiberglass Intake- V0 – the learning experience. A while ago, I 3d printed a mold of squashed intake, dissolved the plastic with a solvent mix and was left with a lightweight composite shell. Once it was done, I realized there were a few issues with the design, which will be apparent below. I...

pretty sure those aren't multipliers, those are divisors. In this application, motion ratios decrease the effective spring rate.

Not sure why, but that mention didn't go to my alerts. maybe that's the case for @phate @Nliiitend1 @VTMongoose IMO- 1) No one else is qualified to tell you about what will be comfortable for DD. You have your own tolerances and daily commute- no one else has the same. It's a try it and see...

@silvapain had a list once...

Free.99 > perf cores Also waiting on promised food stamps @Raider No audio thus far. But for a picture of what these cars sound like without mufflers, the video below is a similar exhaust note. 11:00-15:00 is relevant. Excuse the asshattery, it's Might Car Mods.

I was sold on the cherry bomb after I welded up an exhaust with boost activated cutout dump on my 3. The turbo muffles alot of the exhaust tone. The CB further cuts the decibels and cuts the annoying high tones. Clint runs his 6 straight pipe after the DP, and it doesn't make my ears bleed like...

Above is the exhaust that @xfeejayx and I created. The concept is simple: stock exhaust section with hangers cut and u-bolted to a 2.5" x 24" cherrybomb with a vatozone turn down. Sounds fantastic, took an afternoon to create and install, and frees up a ton of space near the rear axle...

@CorkSport - Derrick @Nliiitend1 @phate Thanks for making these. Notes on the design- -When combined with camber plates, this could be an effective way to pull in or increase the front track. -It looks like the lower spherical might have a stud that could be used for roll center...

@xfeejayx and I toasted an alternator regulator at an AX when the 6 positive terminal did what 6 positive terminals do- it came loose, then fell off. In the short term, the alternator was replaced. This is my attempt repairing the damage done. This is the state of the alternator that was taken...

It's in the works. The short version is- you need special tools and parts, which is why it's not very accessible to your average wrench-happy mazdaspeed owner. Rota 5zigen knock offs. They were on the 3.

In an effort for searching for extra caster for the six, I stumbled across a TSB by mazda about cross-caster from subframe misalignment. In the TSB, Mazda outlines a couple of different procedures that can be repurposed for extra caster. Including, special arms that are caster compensating...

So.... @xfeejayx and I bought a 6 in February to build as a no holds barred autocross racecar. Much of this is heavily influenced by @phate and @MS3brohanna , but it is a seperate build and diverges in some major ways from what they're already accomplished. Here's a brief rundown of the...
