    So I’m either going to have to source an engine or I’ll have a very complete parts car to sell. My poor beast was diagnosed has having - I’m not sure what exactly it’s called - but kind of like crank walk. Basically, the crank moves under boost and eventually the friction washers eat into the...

    1 large tall gray available! Mazdaspeeds.org T-Shirt and Drawstring Hoodie Group Buy!

    I’m 100% down for this. Though my relaxation tends to be strictly herbal, I love me a good pint glass! BTW - that link doesn’t lead to a finished design, just a blank editor. Probably tired af after work haha.

    I'll nix the idea of cams, then. Thanks! I scored a lightly used JBR PMM and TMM today as well as lightly used Autotech internals and a JBR intake and TIP. Got a great price on all of them! My RMM definitely looks like it's been upgraded but I have a lot of driveline lash still, so I need to...

    Eonon head units with silver face (yes!!) for Mazdaspeed3 gen1

    Even if this doesn't go anywhere, it kind of looks from the pictures that you can gently take the bezel off the Eonon, sand, rattle can, clear, and wet sand and it would look pretty decent. Or do the same to your trim but in black to match, depending on its condition. But that's for another...

    Eonon head units with silver face (yes!!) for Mazdaspeed3 gen1

    I would 100% be down for one of these if it's still a thing all this time later.

    I also picked her up today after getting the suspension work. It’s so nice to have a quiet and tight car! You can definitely tell I went with cheapish coil overs for now (they’ll be replaced with the B12 pro kit when these blow or I’ll have them revolved properly if the housings are still good)...

    Howdy from Dallas!

    Internals are already scheduled to go in before the turbo, as well as a new BPV (the PO JB welded mine back together, but it works fine and holds boost on the K04), a TIP, catted downpipe and vented OCC. A 3 port sounds good, so I’ll add it to my list. When my VVT solenoid starts getting wonky...

    Post a Photo of your Car as it Sits Right now!

    Currently at the shop getting coil overs installed while they have the suspension torn apart for the CV axle and sway bar brackets. I’m excited to see how a follow up will look soon!

    Everything I have in stock right now

    No worries - it's not a critical issue for me so I'm still interested when your office opens again if you do have them :)

    Mid chassis brace

    If it's in a spot that can handle it, there's always a torch, beefy pliers, and a BFH. You may be able to heat the end of it up to make it a little more malleable before you hammer a socket on it. Both of those have worked well for me in the past.

    Howdy from Dallas!

    Thanks! Good to be here. This is actually my first Mazda ever. I don't even mind the hilariously bad fuel economy because it's fun to have people ask me what I get and I tell them 21-22 average xD. They're usually thinking about 30+ haha I'm sure it'll drop when I'm at Stage 0 and can...

    K04 Frakenturbo

    I've already accepted that my car is a trap. Looks curvy and sporty on the outside, but there's a pair of balls when you look underneath.
