Great choice, S3 is great, spools at about 3500rpm for me. Curious what the powerband is like on the S2?

Seems like you've run through most of the common items, may be worth exploring the ITFP, maybe line blockage somewhere?

Jealous of how many tracks Ontario has

For anyone looking to do this, it seems CXRacing has updated their piping routing, so it may not contain everything you need. Here are the pieces I got in order to make it work, it's not 100% elegant but it is very functional and fits tight without stressing any components: *Straight Coupler...

Sorry, it should have said oil temperature - it only shows temp. The below, it's wired to turn red with the headlights on. And for sure, I will toss those into the ST thread! Amazon.com: Prosport Digital Evo Electrical Oil Temperature Gauge Red & Blue Display -Includes 1/8" NPT Sender 2 1/16 ...

It really came out well, worked far better than I had expected. The guide I referenced earlier was really helpful. I didn't have to dremel or anything, there were just some tabs I broke off and shoved the universal pod holder in real tight, then secured with zip ties. It is rock solid and mega...

Got the second iteration of the tune this morning, going to hopefully take some logs tonight. Base map felt awesome, and compared to my final map on the K04 setup, flowing 25 g/s more right off the bat. New map is targeting 22 psi, excited to see how that feels. Really in love with the setup...

Yeah it's bad. Ebay has OEMs for way cheaper than you can find anywhere else, look up L3K9-13-2J0 on Ebay, get one for a CX-7.

Disregard the P0328, turns out the plug for the VTCS and the knock sensor are the same, and the knock sensor cable will reach both. It's supposed to plug into the passenger side plug (USDM).

Got the piping together and oil temp gauge fully wired up. For anyone using the new version of CXRacing piping, this is what you will need to complete it: *Straight Coupler you can cut to size- Amazon.com: TMKOOL 8" Length 4-Ply Reinforced High Temp 2.5" ID Straight Coupler Silicone Hose...

The CX Piping kit that I got is apparently not the same as it used to be, so the routing is not ideal for an ST Manifold. It works about 70% of the way, but needs a U-pipe, a 6-8" straight section, and a bending reducer. I have the U-pipe and reducer coming, but I cannot for the life of me...

You can remove anything you want as long as it passes inspection

The ST Manifold is in! For Future Google Searches, since I was unable to find any of this information readily available. Mazdaspeed 3 ST Manifold Install Tips (With the Damond Kit): Getting it mounted on - The gasket will fight you the whole way, put in 2 bolts, one on each end, and find a...

Thanks! I remember those pics just couldn't remember which thread they came from, helps a ton! The Ultimate Ricing (lol) kit I have is pretty nice, but will only run in one direction. It lacks the capability to run down past the HPFP area, so I'll probably need to get a CXRacing kit and just...

Still trying to work out my intercooler piping scheme. Existing piping won't work given the single-piece cold side pipe, so I will need new piping for sure. I would like to continue having the hotside come past the power steering pulley, and then maybe just run a long-ass straight tube after...

I would wager you'll get a less comfortable ride from the B14s, or any coils really. Since your goal is daily driving, choose a solid combo like the one you referenced above, or you can go with a Koni combo for a little cheaper as a lot have done on these forums.

What of the stuff you did in 2022 do you think made the biggest difference in reducing that steering angle? Definitely cool to see the side-by-side.

Got started ripping into my perfectly running car finally, because you can't fix what isn't broken. All in all made a ton of progress, pretty pumped. Really missed doing this kind of stuff, but I'm glad I am doing it all now. Oil and Coolant - Drained Intake manifold - Off Oil filter...

Sounds pretty simple, thanks!

Exhaust Manifold came in yesterday, straight from the Middle Kingdom. Overall not shocked or overly excited by the quality, but again for $350 there isn't too much to complain about. Pics are in thumbnails Notes: Build quality seems pretty good, welds look good externally. Merged area looks...
