well i figured id make a thread cause its 3am and i cant sleep lol. its been a really really really long adventure with this car, starting like 2 years ago when i first turbo'd it 30 min later blew out my automatic tranny, had that built, blew the engine, built the engine, swapped to 6 speed, doing all the conversions like cable throttle and wiring a universal aem and what not. i figure at this point i have way too much money in this car prolly almost more than anyone has put into a street mazda 3 and im prolly still not done. I dont think i could have afforded it had i not worked at a shop where most everything was cost pricing, and doing all the labor myself. Than just recently finally getting out all the bugs and running 20psi thru my gt28r the car was feeling strong prolly around 350whp at the time...and than blew the welds on the shitty weapon r intake manifold. Now today i just bolted on my gt35r well little more than bolt on but just started tunning for 20psi on that and than re cracked the manifold so i guess its time for a cosworth. but other than that i feel like ive learned a lot from all of this and should be able to set the new highest hp record for a street mazda 3 even including speeds.
