[FrankenMazda3]

Looks good! Are those blue wheels btw? If so nice choice!

 

[MazdaSwede]

Just a thought here and this is directed more towards Franken. Remove your resonator now. It won't do much for anything except for the sound. MAYBE a slight gain im MPG's. I did it to mine about a week ago and she growls alot deeper with it off. plus if you are planning on getting a CAI anyways youll be removing it regardless. your just doing on step a little earlier than needed

[FrankenMazda3]

Looks good speedracer! She's definately and old pro. What all have you done to her?

 

[speedracr79]

Thanks man i appreciate the kind words. Ive done quite a bit actually and im no where near done. I got plans for this old girl if you click in my sig theres a few pics of whats been installed, and a list on the second post. Itll tell ya whats been done, whats waiting to be installed, and whats next on the purchace list.

Im actually talking with corksport right now (well not right this minute but today) about buying and installing a 1.5L JDM motor it has like 22K on it. I am building my motor now and was gonna buy a rebuild kit but a buddy told me about the motor so instead of the paying 500 for the kit i should just buy the motor. So Ill see how it all works out in a few weeks.

 

[FrankenMazda3]

Your quite welcome man! I will check your build list out. Also working on a car is there is no done point until there is nothing else you can do.
