Dude, sorry, I didn't see this until now. Yes, Freaktune is multiple passes. He's very thorough. I like the CST4 just fine. It's plenty of power for me. If you really want to go for much bigger power, then it's not enough. But then you are talking about upgraded fuel capacity, which I was not...

I did not know about the rules, so thanks for letting me know. I'll happily pay to be a member, even if I don't buy or sell. It's worth it to me just to be around a bunch of other people who spend too much time and money on these Mazdas.

I put a new OEM one in yesterday, all better. I still plan to try that Focus mount. I am missing one bolt for the OEM upper mount. Anybody know the spec on that M12 X 1.75 40mm? I put two in from the CS mount, but I guess I tossed the third one along the way. I will happily connect anybody with...

I will try the Focus mount. Good idea. But to make peace at home I will put a stock one back in. This pains me as I really enjoyed the thing without all the torque steer, especially with the big power boost from the intake/turbo/exhaust upgrades.

Yeah, I was planning it to drive it until the mount settled down, and keep my wife out of the car during the break-in period. I did keep her out of it. And it did settle down, a lot. But after more than 1,000 miles, it's as settled as its going to get. And she is livid. I care more about my...

And yesterday my wife drove the Mazda for the first time since I put in the new rear motor mount. She really hates the vibrations and rattles. So I am sorry to say I just ordered a replacement stock OEM one, and will need to pull out the nice Corksport one. If anyone needs a good solid rear...

As planned, I replaced the OEM front rotors and pads with EBC stuff. Good fun getting my hands dirty. Much more satisfying than paying someone else, and I know exactly how it was all put back together. Looking forward to another track day soon.

Yeah, it's coming along. Thanks for checking in. I got the CS intake in, and I'm on my second revision of a tune from Freaktune. I need to find a safe time and place for the pulls, particularly the one from 1500 to redline in 3rd gear. Last time that got me up to just over 80. That's not super...

Red is faster than white.

That looks like an incredible machine. You are a lucky man.

So a big couple of days: wrestled in a 4" Corksport intake. Having good impact tools saved the day for sure. I had little trouble disassembling everything, but when I started putting the new stuff back on I had some snags. The CS instructions were good, so I was stumped when I couldn't figure...

A couple of months back joined the forums, starting to put some time and money into my genone. Had a shop do a bunch of stuff: replace a leaky K04 with a CST4, add Corksport downpipe and cat pipe. (OEM exhaust back from there.) Had a fun day at the track, but the car was held back by the OEM...

Thanks for the tip to listen to Tool. Good fun.

Great pictures. Fun to see the daily driver. Especially love the chest freezer you got in there. Must be fun rolling up to the grocery store with that monster of a car.

Looks like for the catted downpipe CNT is no longer an option. Corksport's is not cheap, but it's certainly well made, and sounds great if you like some hotrod noise, but not the full-on BRAPPPP of the catless.

Low these many years later, does your opinion still hold that this MAF sensor is okay for $38?

Got the car back from the shop with the CS downpipe and the CST4 in it. It is a beast. The intake is really holding it back, so the tune is only running 15psi of boost. Now I have the big intake sitting in my basement, so I'm dying to get it in there. Off to the track tomorrow morning.

Welcome to the Speed world. Really fun cars. I've had my '07 for a long time, but just now getting into messing with it. I'm thinking pretty much like you. Pushing beyond 400hp might be fun, but well into the aux fuel land for that. I'll see what I can get out of my new CST4 setup. Just as soon...

Yep, I ordered the 51r battery tray. It's pricey for a battery tray, but probably the only thing that will fit with that monster intake.

Thanks for all this. Not going to use Dramatune, and definitely getting a bigger intake. I decided to go with the monster 4" so I have plenty of room to add power in the future. I don't see doing the big investment for aux fuel and a new turbo any time soon, but it seems like I might as well...
