dont kill the cones
I just heard this somewhere don't know if it's true of not but when you paint your intercooler it drasticly reduces the performance..... Car look great like the lakes tho

got my new mazdaspeed shift **** from murray i forgot to ask if it was s4 or s5 thread. he informed me that it was s5/s6 after i had allready installed it on my s4 haha it went right on
its on my mazdatrix s4 short shifter and works great, the **** is well weighted and gives me the leverage and shape i wanted
it looks killer imo i love it, and decided to take a minute and detail the interior and snap some pics. enjoy

okay guys time for a bump lol. car is well broken in at 3000mi but i am still trying to run no boost untill i gather the rest of my items. i have the FMIC piping kit from cx racing now and i will try to install that next weekend. because bristol is this weekend ! free tickets FTW. after the fmic and battery relocation its just injectors, sparkplugs, and send the ecu to rtek for the 2.1. hopefully things will start happening here soon.
i do have a question for people who know about wheel fitment.
i am searching for a average after market wheel offset for a fc but in the jdm wheels thread none of the offsets are consistent ! lol
the wheels im looking at are 17/8 + 30 and 17/9 + 24
thoughts? i want something that will fit better than my current wheels but im not going for HELLA flush because i plan to auto-cross the car.
thanks guys

I had mine set at 19PSI since my fuel/timing maps were safe up until 21 psi.
DO NOT use it for a blow off valve thogh bud..you will kill your turbo. It is only there for mechanical fail safe but many many do warn that since rotaries have such a short window/tolerance for "**** ups" that it may be no more then a pretty piece in the engine bay.
I would do it....what would it hurt besides your pocket book a little.

haha duh, tial 50mm isn't going anywhere.
if it looks like overboosting could be a problem i might ****** one up.
update: intercooler is mounted up front, sealed up, and chilin untill i can get the hole saw. pics when i get a chance

Hella good pick-up. man! I know I'm a little late on picking up this thread, but it's a hella deal!
I just picked up a 90 TII vert (pics in my gallery so I don't thread-jack) and love it, so far - new bits in it's future, but meh.
Nice one!
