Hey, I was planning on doing that badge after I do new paint. Is this going to be the new thing? Kinda like the efini badges are. Hope not. I like to be a little bit unique. Anyways, looks great. A tip for taking off badges and emblems. Use a heat gun and fishing line and then sticker remove to get off the excess glue off. Works great.

GoodfellaFD3S appears on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno after being voted rotary engine builder of the year. Mazda will neither confirm nor deny an exclusive engine building contract has been agreed upon with the one and only GoodfellaFD3S. Rumors have it that slave wages have been negotiated.

The camera makes his head appear larger then normal, it's TV

A new (and hard as hell to find) steering wheel..... Nardi Type B Sport, punching leather with red stitch, Scrubby Edition.

Also my newest underhood mod, I don't believe there are any other sets of these installed in the country

Apologies for the mediocre pic quality, I can't seem to find my new camera.

Who makes those covers?

I like the idea, but for it to be worthwhile I think it should extend from the fender to a few inches from the manifold / elbow... to cover the ABS / booster.

Rich, I haven't really kept up with the build, but why did you ditch the big filter idea?

I second the wire tuck. Or in the least some zip ties.

Oh, and out of curiosity, what is the small Cylinder thing, sitting on top on the brake booster? Right between the connector and the vacuum line for the booster?

Unfortunately the RE-Speed neck I have won't work with anything but the stock cap. Working on changing that

Uh, probably never. In the sunlight with no flash (that pic was taken in a dark garage) you don't really see most of those wires, at least they don't stand out as much.

They're made by NAMS/Nagisa. Same cats who make mah fender braces.

You should consider keeping up with the build. Sucka.

Zip ties where exactly? Please help me out here, I'm not really sure of what I'm doing in the engine bay

That is the boost solenoid for my Aquamist 1S water injection system. It's a magical little unit that allows 20 psi and big time power on 93 octane

Meh, I can't keep up with your build, it gives me way to many ideas I can't afford right now. I'm glad your posting about it though, at least I'll know where to look when the time comes.

Maybe it's just the angle of the shot, but the wires for the fuse boxes were the first thing I saw. Or maybe its just me. Or maybe you really don't know your way around an engine bay.

That's a pretty neat location for that solenoid. It did have me scratching my head. I figured it was for something you had added, just thought I'd ask.

Btw, I do have some new stuffs in the works:

*DEI Titanium Turbine Blanket
*DEI Titanium heat wrap on my entire exhaust, dp back to the GT spec--- as much for noise suppression as for help with thermal control
*Some juicy new coilovers, more to follow on this one
*Found a legit local fabricator/welder, so going to clean up my intercooler piping a bit in an effort to pick up a bit more spool
*Possibly another set of wheels, and hopefully my final set for awhile
