    I would like to give a huge shoutout to the Oklahoma and Colorado crews for answering my noobie questions and helping me learn all sorts of different things, you are all totally badass!!!

    Other link: http://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/biobandits-build-log.647/
    Background:
    Bought in Florida with about 80k miles on it.
    20141123_160313.jpg
    Moved back home for a while and hung out with the Okie crew.
    IMAG0125[1].jpg
    Now living in Colorado and slowly learning more and more about the Mazda platform.

    Now on to the performance mods. Came with fuel pump internals, a Cobb APv3, and Cobb cold air intake, CPE RMM. First part installed, CPE TMIC.

    Found out the Forge V1 was in stock online!

    Hit 100k miles :cry:... time to start planning an engine rebuild right? (Turns out I should have...)
    Currently waiting to be installed/on order:
    Tein Super Street Dampers
    Whiteline front and rear sway bars
    Whiteline control arm bushings
    Whiteline front and rear end links
    Stoptech sport kit
    Rear tower strut cross floor bar
    Also, most of my parts are bought from therpmstore.com so I must say thank you to them for having great sale deals and awesome customer service.
    Snapchat-4410407897148475083[1].jpg Snapchat-8413688972811568556[1].jpg

    HUGE thanks to @monkey.bones.007 for all the help with the suspension install (mainly the bitch of a front sway bar). Seriously I can't thank you enough.

    Tein super street dampers Whiteline front and rear sway bar and endlinks are on the car!!!


    Goals/Plans for the future:
    Oil spin-on conversion kit, better tires, PMM, TMM, downpipe, mud flaps
    Eventually, build engine and bigger turbo

    I'll fix it... homework sucks anyways.
    Mudflaps have been installed!!!
    IMAG0422[1].jpg
    Ordered a used TurboXS Turboback exhaust. Wrapped the downpipe in exhaust wrap and will be spraying it with Hi-Temp Silicone Coating, also have been blasting the downpipe area with PBBlaster in preperation in hopes that will make things easier. Then I will be in search of a tuner!
    IMAG0429[1].jpg
    TurboXS installed!! Sounds soooo good!!!


    New brakes!!! Stop tech brake kit has been excellent. Is holding up really well and is great at the track as well. IMAG0480[1].jpg
    Next up will be a 3.5" HTP intake and smaller battery box and then a tune. Then hopefully that is all for a little while... but probably not...

    Yeah it's an issue where the attachment links don't pull over I think.

    That never goes away. Actually it kinda went away when I got a rear mount them came back with the install of the transmission and passenger mounts. I wanted to step up to see the differences so I installed each one separately.

    Well, I will be building the motor sooner rather than later as the motor decided it was done with my shit and threw a rod. Nator CO will be pulling it by the end of the year and checking the damage then building from there.
