Yeah. I think it's cool of Mazda to do this. Not to direct this as an insult in any fashion or form, the man still claims his exterior components are that of original FEED when actually they are by Chuck of Rotary Extreme. Also I think it's ironic that Mazda would say that Jay Laub's FD is a '97 model.

Weird, the driver's side is black, while the passenger side is tan interior. Really nice car, Black FD's rule.

Raw, brute horsepower was what Loi Song was after when he first started modifying his own cars several
"

Your friends car is very nice and I'd like to give him kudos for being the only car I could see a clean shot of the engine bay that actually pulled cold air in rather than just some short "flashy" pipes with colorful "K&Ns" on the end sucking heatwaves out of the engine compartment.

Why are show car/tuners so obsessed with sucking hot air into their engines?

Are those gauges in the passenger dash? How in the hell are they supposed to be useful? It's not like you can see them from the driver seat.

A scary, but likely true, statement of the current FD ownership...

He could have put them where the AC controls are, or in a center speaker pod and had them functional.

It looks like the turbo doesn't even have a filter on it, therefore, it would be sucking in hot air. Unless I am looking at the wrong picture...

Besides, with turbocharged cars it doesn't really matter if you pull in cold air through the intakes because the air will become hot after passing through the turbo(s). That is why you have an intercooler.

I just want to know how often does he drive it, and then how much will he be driving it when he tunes it to 600.
