Updates!!!!

Its been an interesting 6 months and I would like to catch you guys up!!!
I stated stock piling parts, thinking BNRs or Single, what oil coolers, and what my goals were at this point. I had the itch to put her on the track, but wanted to maintain as many creature comforts as possible. Cruise, PS, and AC must stay, and I'm keeping the Bose rear base tube as well. on to the pics and the fun stuff.

Pic of the last setup:

Those are the Carbon Kevlar SS right? Stands out on your MB paint.

I'm about to buy a pair myself, and wonder how they will look on silver

This thing spools unbelievably quick!!! I decided to sell the front mount- I miss the fog lights being on the car so I'm going a different direction

I personally think kevlar only looks good on blues and greens. (think primary colors ad what it take to get to green)

If I had silver, I would be rockin' CF or black

Had some other oil leak issues that I had to hunt down. Why Mazda made these in plastic is beyond me:

After tons of blue towels and Banzai Racing coming to the rescue, the OMP is gone and I will be getting my box of premix very soon from Rotary Performance.

BUT THATS NOT ALL FOLKS!!!
I had to give Alex Rodriguez a call as well... and I think we all know why:

I've already received my delete kit from the Rotary A-Rod and that will be going in this weekend.

Oh yeah, air pump is bye bye as well thanks to Pineapple racing...

I just got done doing something similar with the oil coolers. I used rx8 oil cooler though.

Why did u decide on ric injectors and rp rails over FFE and IDs?

100% bolt in using factory everything, and their kit is 100% emissions compliant. Luckily I live in a non-attainment county and I don't have an emissions issue!
