Wow man, amazing. I’m extremely jealous of all of the suspension stuff. I’ve been trying to find a 3 point strut bar for years!!!

Only market they come out was Japan. So lucky for us in Aus we can import them since were also RHD

Its expensive probably why no one does it anymore. Other easier things to modify like Honda's and Subaru's

People also don't like forums anymore either. It's really hard to follow a build or search for information when it's scattered and sprinkled all over IG and FB posts.

Some people, not everyone! Also because it seems many Forum sites have been left for dead but for people interested in Mazdas, we're here for you...Alive and well!

Plus with threads like this, I think a lot of people on "social media" have gone straight there and don't realize there are treasures on the Internet like this and if they knew, they would be here! Spread the word!

Small update

Pulled the car out of the corner of the shed on Australia Day (Jan 26) and fitted some parts I’ve recently acquired.

Parts include...

1. Corksport Bronze shifter Bushes
2. Raceworks 1200cc injectors w/11mm seal conversion down from 14mm seals and new connectors for injectors
3. Audi R8 coils with new connectors
4. Walbro 460lph fuel pump (not fitted yet)

Also managed to fit the 505V3 airbox properly. Still trying to figure out how to reduce the gap between the radiator and radiator support, don wanna ruin my CR3 radiator brackets so might have to make some more brackets to bring the radiator closer by a few millimetres as its extremely tight

Loving the build Hammo, fantastic work! Thanks for sharing on the forum.

Love the progress!

Are you trying to close the radiator gap visually or trying to stop air getting through? Some thick closed cell foam tape might do the trick for the later

 

[Hammo]

Close the gap as I have about 10-12mm before the radiator hits the turbo. Trying to figure out if I could fit some fans behind the radiator. The turbo compressor housing is directly in the centre of the radiator

Id still like to have AC because sunny Queensland. So thick Intercoolers and AC condenser leave no room.
