My kinda baking... I want to bake my headlights next, in order to do my AE mod.

 

Did that before too even funnier when your family is sitting in the living room and you walk in with your headlights and throw them in the oven

 

Pulled the trigger on this bad boy. Greddy E-Manage Ultimate with a PnP harness to wire it up to a wideband and boost controller for fine tuning.

 

^^^Nice table

 

I hate it! It looks garbage. Ship my ish out dog!

 

nice build, and its rare to see this kit in action

 

Very true. I'm digging it a lot. Everything I needed was pretty much there. Little things like t's, steel braided lines, crap load of clamps all sizes,etc. It's made the build quiet simple with little to no trips to the hardware store. i went into boost yesterday and holy fawk it was quick! It boosted up to 10lbs at 4500RPM.

 

So here it is... The brains of the operation. Tune ready!

 

Looking good bro, now find a nice spot to mount that EU!

 

Yeah, I do. I was thinking about in the glove box, but it'd require making wholes. Any ideas?

 

AC is back on. Yeah, buddy! Thanks to Tim from Turbo Elements(for the dirt cheap custom ac line) and Sean from IPS(for the dirt cheap install and ac charge).

 

Extend it to the driver side area and mount it down there somewhere, it would be cool if you can get up up through the center console and mount it under the radio I was looking at that.

 

Do they sell mounting bracktes for the EU? Time to do some homework. These are very good ideas... I'll strongly consider them.

 

Little update:

Did the AE Headlight mod and yellow LaminX film for the fogs. Very pleased of the results... I need better pics, but here's a quick snap with poor lighting.



Also this came in the mail...







Just need to install the exhaust, and it's ready to get on the rollers for a good ol' tune!

 

Bit of a better look at the headlights; still need more buffing to get the headlights clearer.



Went for a hill country run with some guys from Mazdas247.com; ish was wild! A few shots of my ride going through a tight *** turn, posted on txmotofotos.com; I will be purchasing them soon.

 

holy body roll. awesome car man.

 

This hill country run was exhilarating! Had mad fun! It was nothing but tight a** turns for about 5+ hrs... You know ur taking tight turns when the tires are screetching. I felt really pleased with the way the car handled; kept up with other turbo vehicles...

 

A little sneak peak of what's going on in the laboratory... Left them drying up overnight, throwing them on tomorrow.

 

Small update:





Have to thanks my boy Gabe aka Lyzek for putting work on the wheels...

 

So that's where they've been... Lookin good tho. How bout some vids??

 

Need to make some vids... Tried the other day, but the damn car is so loud... getting the exhaust installed tomorrow or by judging by the time is actually today. Lol. Ill make a video for sure...

 

good stuff... any dyno date???

 

Not yet. Im putting my exhaust on today; thats all thats left before tuning it.

 

3" pipe and Magnaflow Muffler are on; its super quiet with a very nice deep tone. It has a small leak from the rear manifold. I will get that sealed this weekend. I'll make a video some time this week, though.

 

Pics of the exhaust.

From the bottom


From the back

 

Stickerless!

Another look at the exhaust.

Oh and the tune session has been sceduled...

 

Doing the last few adjustments before tuning. Order me some NGK One Step Colder spark plugs. Need to fix an exhaust leak(missing gasket), change oil, wire up the boost controller, injectors and we're set.

 

All I see is red x's, why pics no work?

 

Try your PC no work... I can see them all at work, on my phone and at home... Let me know...

 

good stuff

 

Well, thank you. As soon as I posted last night what needed to be done. I went to wrenching and installed the gasket, which let me tell you it was a biatch. It was the rear manifold flange crush gasket that needed to be installed and with the down pipe, the connecting pipe and the wastegate there's was barely any room. So, cross member had to come down, which means the front and rear motor mounts had to come down and even then it was a pain as the space is limited. I got it done thanks to my buddy Gabe aka Lyzek, who stayed up til 1:30AM on a weekday. The car sound like a dream! Couldnt be happier at the way it sounds and it spools up quicker.

Now Im at work, zombeeing...

 

WTF? I see pics in other threads fine from photobucket..... I want to see the pics, i tried at home and at work, I'll have to try my phone.

 

A few pics.

 

I think I've said this before and I'lll say it again. I've been following this since day one and boy has it come along in such a short time. What's next? Lookin amazing man.

 

Well thank you, sir. Well, I'm getting ready for tuning this Saturday(changing oil, spark plugs, installing the injectors, a smaller spring for the wastegate and the AEM boost controller). Once I tune it, I'll probably slow down on mods and just keep up with the maintanance thats going to come from the added power. A true enthusiast is never done. As for plans/mods I would like in the future...

Performance:
-Big brake kit
-Upgrade Intercooler Piping and Intercooler
-E85(maybe?!)
-Coilovers

Interior
-Double Din
-Racing Seats
-Aftermarket Steering Wheel
-Sound system

Exterior
-Paintjob
-Wheels

It's a never ending story. Lol

 

Had my hands full last night. Did an oil change. Installed 1 step colder NGK Spark plugs, the gasket and a softer spring for the wastegate. Getting ready for the tune.

 

^^6i didnt realiize that the waste gate spring was that big lol. but i guess that shows how much i've been out of it when i comes to performace :/

what do you mean by custom? was it a slight line reroute, or new line complete re route? only reason i'm asking is because i want to "tuck" my a/c lines when i get motivated to start my "tucking" lol

 

Lol. Yeah, bigger than i thought as well. Tim made cut my line in two different places and turned it for it to clear the downpipe.

 

clean and great work man,i have the same color car and mine don't look nearly as clean as your.Good job tho im anxious to see whats next. ill be looking as you my motivator.

 

Thank you sir. Its taken a lot of hard work and sacrifices, but I can almost see the end product. For now, that is...
