I'll add it to the list of to-dos for this weekend and see if I get ANY of it accomplished. Dyno day is scheduled for Oct 18th, so I guess I can just use the impending doom of an upcoming deadline to motivate me.

Didn't realize you could put those on, it's a DTA axle and it had that spring where it belonged when I put it on the car. Car's gone less than 9 miles with that axle.

Oh you mean this?

Sad day.

Alright, another day another update. New DTA Axle lasted exactly 9 miles. Blew out the boot, so I'll be replacing that this week. Hunting down an oil leak on the back passenger side of the car. Relocated the catch can on the driver side and shifted the catch can on the passenger side so they...

Bro. You ever sit back and actually read what you wrote and maybe say.... "Damn I can't even read this shit, how could anyone else?" Don't be a douche. Roll back all the things you did. The car worked before your infotainment display went blank, then you started unplugging things. Now things...

Hell yeah dude. Side note. I took a look at the car yesterday and saw some fluid on the ground under the passenger side catch can hoses and to the left and right of the transmission leak. Looks like it might come from the clutch slave on the left, the catch can on the right (driver side) or the...

Neighbors are gonna hate this car. But that's okay with me :)

Update time! This past Saturday @StreetSpeed6 swung through and we worked on the car. Gave it a fresh oil change. Took the HPFP off. Seal screw was 100% not torqued down. Was so loose we were able to unscrew it by hand. Fixed that. Tcase drain needed tightened down a smidge. Oil Feed line...

Sad fuel pressure.

Alright. Update time. Over the weekend we crossed these off: Pull the front clip off Reroute oil catch cans Clamp all intercooler hoses down Tighten down clamp on turbo compressor to IC piping Harness cleanup Mount breakers for starter and fusebox power connection Tucked AC LP Line Attach the...

Been pretty quiet since we fired it up the first time. So update time: Fun fact about me: I have a herniated disc in my cervical spine (C6-C7 middle of neck). This makes life super fun. The week we fired up the car, I worked on it for about 4-5 hours a day for 4 days straight (Saturday being a...

She lives!!

They're not the shiniest, but they definitely look better. Goal is to fire up the car by the end of this week, so wish me luck!

Happy to help!

https://mintt.com/ Numbers matching PCM in Orlando. https://mintt.com/2009-mazda-mazdaspeed3-2-3l-pcm-engine-computer-ecm-ecu-programmed-updated.html Not sure what the difference is between this one and that one, my guess is maybe warrantied different.

So I got my knuckles to a shop to put the bearings in, only to find out that I had fallen for the same tragedy that at least one other person has fell for on this forum (this is what I get for buying all the things with 0 patience). The knuckles I bought were made by MOOG who doesn't actually...
