not impressed


but it's going to the shop for a reason, so maybe with a better tune it will be a little more impressive. Also I can now tell you for sure that I don't want to put 19's on a mazda 3.

context - it's your friend!

OMG I swear some of you must be like 15...

"maybe with a better tune it will be a little more impressive" - oh yeah he was trying to make it sound bad, huh? :roll:

Unimpressed means "I already have a kit that works fine IMO, and here's a hiboosted car that admittedly has problems, but none-the-less I didn't see/experience anything really special about it." Slight difference between that and " I think the hiboost kit is a piece of sh%$, and here's an example of why".

You guys sound like the MS3 guys when I did a review of my first visual inspection of a MS3 on the lot and wasn't that impressed. Chill.

lol...

I thought we are all on the same team, and that team is "MAZDA3". So shouldn't we all be helping each other out and not dividing ourselves by brand names and biases.

Some people just have to be more careful what they write, and others have to be more careful with their response... Maybe then will there actually be an intelligent thread with the word "SCI" in it. hehe

^--- optimist

Anyways I'm sure it'll be a few days before we get any more diag on the car. He was in fact the very first 06 to run a hiboost kit (I remember that from meeting him at the show). I can post some pics of the car when I get home if anyone's interested.

from what i've seen looking at the directions for the haltech and the 06 ecu, the wiring is the same.
