I guess the best place to start would be at the beginning. This is how my car looked when it finally reached St.Croix. I bought the car with a blown engine for $9500 back in 09. I bout a complete engine off of ebay for 2200 that included a full greddy t78 kit and Power FC. I had to put the engine in, in florida before it was shipped here.

I raced the car for 3 years on the same used ebay motor. Going all the way to 27psi and running 11.1@121 completely off the gas past 1000ft.
I raced every chance i got, and drove it really hard on the street. Attachment 481843 Attachment 481844 Attachment 481845 Attachment 481846 Attachment 481847 |

Attachment 481916 Attachment 481917 Attachment 481918 Attachment 481919 This is where im at now. i just made my last few orders which include my oil thermostat and all the fittings. My new odessey battery. and a few couplers , hoses, and misc stuff. it has been alot of work. 95% of which i did myself. But i love this car. and i know it will be even more fun this time;) |
The more i think about all the parts that have been put into this car the more i realize. This car is a paint job and a set of coilovers away from being a FD enthusiast's complete package.
The rear trailing arms and toe links have all been replaced with heim joints. The rear end is a FD case with a FC LSD, and a RX8 4.44 ring and pinion. Urethane diff bushings and motor mounts. Front and rear suspension techniques sway bars. With custom swaybar bracket/brace. Garfinkle torque damper. Tokico and eibach combo. Brakes are stock with Carbotech pads. Stainless braided brake lines all around. Engine is a medium streetport with all new seals including RA Super seals J-spec transmission (shorter 5th) with OS-Giken Twin Plate clutch with push/pull converter. Single walbro intank, CJ motorsport top feed rail kit with 2 850's and 2 1600's HKS twin power ignition with FC primary coils. Haltech E6X Greddy divided manifold with tial 44mm wastegate Precision 6266 billet CEA turbo XS engineering FMIC with custom carbon piping. HKS SSQV Blow off. Greddy Profec B specII Boost controller and greddy turbo timer. Innovate LC1 wideband Custom dual 19row oil coolers with stainless braided lines. Fluidyne FD radiator with Flexalite dual 12" s blade fans. A bunch of other little things and about 1000 zip ties The only thing done to the interior is a few gauges and my(outrageously priced) authentic mazdaspeed shift knob. And a set of wheels are all that is done to the exterior of the car. I dont wanna think about that list again for a while Its amazing to sit down and think of all the little things that have been done over the years. And how it all adds up. __________________ |

My home made 5inch downpipe with cutout. And full muffled 2.5" exhaust to keep it quiet to and from the track.
