not sure if i posted it before, but i picked up an OBX test pipe for a whopping $84 shipped brand new

just ordered a front mount intercooler kit and fuel pump internals.


after i install these parts, and get tuned for 19psi, i'll be hovering around 300whp

long story short- fedex can suck my d!ck. they lost my couplers, tbolt clamps, mounting bracket, and fuel pump internals.


so after 3 weeks of waiting i finally got refunded. and they wound up throwing out my piping and core!


being how i was attending an install day 3hrs from my house in another state, once i realized stuff was missing i ordered new couplers and clamps, and had someone make me up a bracket.

so now i have 115$ worth of couplers and clamps, with absolutely NO use for them.



well, i'm buying another FMIC kit tonight.


set my standback for 17psi, and will begin tuning tomorrow!



also made an offer on lowering springs from someone on the forum, so we'll see what happens

i wrapped 3 of my intercooler pipes, and now my boost temps are 75* when ambiant temps are in the upper 60's. i'm VERY pleased with my BATS :)

I love the creativity on the Mazda emblem. I've never seen that done before. And the CF wrap looks great. Nice work!

Damn those H&Rs drop the s*** out of it. I've been considering those Roadmagnet springs.

Car looks good, sucks about that fiasco with the FMIC. But thats how it goes modding, things ALWAYS come up.

One thing, that header wrap on your FMIC piping isnt actually shielding you from heat. Its more designed to keep heat in, not keep it out. On intake charge piping your more concerned with radiant heat. Try some DEI Cool Tape, its cheap easy to apply and will do exactly what you need for the piping (reflect radiant heat).
