Current appearance after the Blox Evo show. The day was so busy, I ran off for most of the afternoon tackling errands and picking up materials in San Francisco, only to get a call at 6pm "Where the HELL are you Brian, you just won 2nd place!". Yeah, the dirty, rock-chipped canyon racer just won...

The amount and cleanliness of your work is always astounding. Can't wait to see it all together!

So, I've done some very unscientific building with a new wing, new diffuser, and side splitters, and just today got an opportunity to test it. I'm way closer to hitting my MPG targets than I thought! I bloody forgot to get the receipt, but I actually hit 39mpg highway today. Route taken...

An update of sorts: The car is currently down for a host of things, including LED taillights and some custom camber/caster plates that Alex Walker helped me make. Sliding the top of the strut back 10mm gives me almost 2 more degrees of caster to work with, right around 5deg. Crank up the...

Holy crap. Amazing attention to detail. Circuit, I'm sorry honey but you've been beat for thoroughness lol.

Thanks :D Long term stuff though so I'll have way more small things than ^ large electric updates. Bouncing ideas with XCNuse (the other be-winged, white Mazda3), we're going to try a different endplate design to make the wing more efficient. I don't trust my CFD skill yet to simulate this one...

Just wanted to thank you guys again for voting me in for MOTM last time, and start logging what's going to be a very long-term transformation I'm working on. If anyone was wondering what the "Circuit Heart" livery is all about, please let me list a couple things in my shopping list: A...

Not much, just lowkey getting into the NorCal car show scene.

Air up -- duh. lol

Thanks guys, really appreciate the love! And sorry about the self-taken pics, I'm sure they didn't give you much to work with for updating the site... (rei)

For you sir, yes!

Haven't posted here in a while (save the MOTM thread). Much has changed.

New springs in! 550/600lbs Hyperco springs are nearing the limit of my kidneys, but theoretically better for grip balance on the track. Will test. I approached Sari Al @ GE3KSPD about shooting a set in exchange for some suspension consulting, and he replied with this: I think he did some...

I think I haven't posted the full build here at any point, but now's as good a time as any to start. Here is my 3. Unlike most of the other flared 3's my main intention is to fit tire, not wheel. The goal with this project is to get maximum lateral G's while keeping close to 39mpg highway...

Is bumping allowed? Price drop to $200 OBO. Just $50 more than a normal TRS kit for the whole shebang!

FS: TRS Retro-Quik Mazda3/Speed3 Kit Hey everyone, I'm looking to sell off some unused parts in order to finance the bigger aspects of my build this winter. This here is an opened but 100% unused TRS Retro-Quik (Morimoto projector retrofit) HID kit for Mazda3/Speed3 without tech package (so...

If I try real hard, I've been able to eke out 32-33mpg in mixed driving (avg speed of 30mph, probably correlates to 60/40 hwy/city mix). That's on new 285-wide Direzza ZII's too so it's at least good to know the car can be coaxed to perform -- otherwise, I've moved to Baltimore now and it is...
