    Smoking Downpipe from Hell

    I'll drive it tomorrow & see if most of the liquid wrench burns off after the drives. Its just way too much fucking smoke lol. I actually started to check with a longneck lighter & it was turning off near the end of the dp. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Smoking Downpipe from Hell

    Was doing a downpipe install today on my car, UPS screwed me by not setting up a pickup at the sorting facility so started working in the heat & I'm pretty sure I fucked up on the install somehow that when I turned on the car well its smoking to hell & I'm trying to figure out where the hell...

    Cooling For Long Distance Drive

    Single mass flywheel

    I've gone with a Luk & Fidanza flywheel combo simply due to me being on a budget when I did the job. Glad that was the case since I had a lot more maintenance to do on the car soon after. Still replace always replace the flywheel bolts since you are already in there to begin with. Also make sure...

    Cooling For Long Distance Drive

    Most definitely, I just always take precautions prior taking longer trips just to avoid being the guy stuck on the side of the road lol. Damn that's a random thing to catch while on the highway. Good that you noticed the temps rise before any real issues started appearing. Sent from my Nexus 6...

    Cooling For Long Distance Drive

    No lead foot, I'm very laid back on how much I'm throttling on long distance drives plus I'm topping off on corn before leaving & taking 2 jugs of the stuff with me. I also have a full list of the E85 stations within my near vicinity. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Cooling For Long Distance Drive

    Taking a trip out of town to Las Vegas & I'm trying to set my car up maintenance & performance wise to have a headache free trip. Last time I took a trip down that way I was driving my friend's Chevrolet Camaro which was fresh off the lot. Now I'm taking my car but I have a concern of keeping...

    Shifter Cable Woes

    An update, had the package overnighted to me & the part was the correct one this time. Went through a rough time properly getting the new one installed & getting the old one removed. Apparently Mazda decided it was a bright idea to place a bracket against the firewall right where the turbo is...

    Which turbo to go with?

    Yep I'm planning on purchasing Edge's TR8 kit they have for sale. The price point is doable for me, funny thing is I currently run a ETS TMIC. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Which turbo to go with?

    Haha that is true about that, I'm just seeing what would fit into my current budget since I'm trying to get rid of my tmic & install a fmic setup instead since the tmic makes it a pain to work on the car plus I can keep my BAT's relatively low. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Which turbo to go with?

    Yeah most definitely. I'm planning to get my hands on a Devils Own methanol injection kit with maybe a progressive controller. Still thinking what route to go with that. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Which turbo to go with?

    Yes. Well have a stable 400-450hp is just the idea, I haven't sat down yet to take in what else I would want from the motor. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Shifter Cable Woes

    My thought exactly, not sure how they would fuck up on sending a part that would technically fit but without a key component? Lol Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Shifter Cable Woes

    Mazda fucked up on Edge & then I got the part from Edge which was not the right one lol. So its all Mazda's fault. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Which turbo to go with?

    Thanks for the response, I have had my share of good luck with their parts but I've heard mixed reviews on their turbo. Guys having over boost issues to other things I can't quite remember. Gotcha, I'll look into that turbo. Direct bolt in or need different manifolds? Sent from my Nexus 6 using...

    Shifter Cable Woes

    Update, so I spoke with JP at Edge Autosport today & well looks like its the wrong one & Mazda fucked up on this part. I have to overnight the part here which I had to pay extra for to get it here asap since my car needs to be running before the weekend since I'm going out of town. Its my luck...

    Which turbo to go with?

    Been working on my car since its on standby until I have a new shifter cable arrive some time tomorrow but I have been at work removing the EGR & cleaning the intake piping only to come & find the turbo is leaking. Not a significant amount but it has been building up for quite some time now. The...
