why buy a mazda ppf?
im taking out my tranny out right now and i was looking at the ppf. Just curious Why somebody would buy the mazda ppf. What advantage does it have over the stock. I honestly can't see any bracing advantages. maybe because it's nice and shiny red?

mine makes this grinding noise when i turn hard and gas it. i have an extra one so i might as well change it.
also, you dont need to buy a mazdaspeed one because its the same thing with a nice paintjob and a nice price

Yeah its suppose to be stronger. PPFs are weird. A lot of racers over here are on stock with T51s and ***** laying down quite a bit, and people stock. There isnt any application that makes it break more of less. Rollcage people break then, rollcage people dont, big power break them, big power dont.
Anyway the MS is proven to be stronger, I can look into it more if you need to. Dont buy it though like most said just to buy it, buy it only if you have a cracked one.

Allright, if anyone out there has actually purchased the Mazdaspeed PPF can you please measure the wall thickness of the metal, and get some good photos of the internal bracing? On a second note, I have my PPF out and noticed that some of the bracing is just spot welded rather than seam welded which would definatley be a weak link. And if you are concerned about you stock unit breaking, just add a diff support for a lot less money.

10% IMHO is a lot concedering not all of them break. If we were talking about a part that breaks on all FD, I would **** on 10%, but any percent more then a PPF that broke is better then the one you had on it..
