Took it out of storage, gave her a wash and pulled her into the garage for the first time in over 4 years to get to work. I blew it up in December 2010, and I'm just now getting around to building it. Cut off the welded on rusty IC brackets, cleaned up the left over slag, dropping the fuel...

Either this place is completely dead, or everyone has moved on from the MSP. I can't catch a damn break in life, but I have a feeling this new job will make things happen. Every paycheck is a new part. I have two good blocks, three good heads. It's time to get it moving again. Hoping to...

Two blocks, a head, pistons, rods, everything I have to throw at the bottom end is at the machine shop. Just bought a GT28 turbo for it as well, and I could swear that it was damn near the size of a To4E . Biggest damn GT28 I have ever seen.

No tint, and will probably never see tint. If I do, the lightest available

No love, maybe this will change opinion. Advan RGIII installed today, and on 245 wide rubber. I have read everywhere that 235 is the widest you can go. Pfft!

I have a serious problem. I'm totally addicted to Mazdaspeed's. I don't think it's a problem, I mean, who doesn't want to smile every time they drive a Mazda. So here it is, the daily. Started life as a humble and very stock 2013 Black Mica Mazdaspeed3 with just 54 miles on it. First order...

I just couldn't let her go. I had crazy offers for just a rolling project, and I turned every offer down because this car means so much to me, and quite a few other people who knew it and remember it in it's prime.

With more time off comes more ability to tackle this. Did a full disassemble on the forged motor today. The guy I bought it from had no clue what the **** was going on, and honestly, I'm surprised the rod bearings were even intact. Here is a cliff notes list of what I found when I cracked the...

First question, is the car stock? Does it have a front mount intercooler on it?

Long over due, but a huge update at least. My current ride is a 2006, yeah I may have a bit of a problem, Mazdaspeed6. Back in the world of good money again. And now ready to make this car run again. I have the block and head, and it's been shipped off to make sure everything is in order at...

I don't see a reason why not. But then again, I'm sure a call to Speedcircuit or Corksport would yield the same results.

Finally something to show for my baby. Yesterday I was delivered to me a donor block and head. 46,000 miles on both picked up from none other than Michele. Now, to decide my power goals and what I really want to do with both the head and motor.
