    Hello my kindred web mazda companions. I have been on both mazda forums for some time, yet never truly posted much. I figure it’s the ideal opportunity for a change. After being mia for 5 years, I decided moved back to the sunshine state. Around 8 months of being back, I finally decided to pick up an 08 speed3. The car was essentially stock with only an intake, and coil-overs. But that rapidly changed with the assistance of a great mechanic friend that has moved now :(. He made my vison become a reality. After searching and finding a bunch of used parts, my build currently sits with…

    Built Motor: (ported head, pinned cams, weisco pistons, manley rods, keyed crank, supertech valve springs & retainers)
    FJ Big Turbo Kit: (6262dbb, under route piping, t3 manifold, dump & downpipe)
    Extras: (Versatune, Cobb ap, Damond trilogy, egr delete, tr8 intercooler, pw 46mm, htp 4in, bsd, alky control meth, act 6 puck, jmf v1, yellow speed coils, rpf1 on 245/40/17)

    As of now, the car is currently being worked on when I have time. I am having some issues that have aroused and need to get them fixed. While still being very new to cars, I am learning as I go. With lots of reading and effort, I’m sure this will become easier since my friend has moved.

    This is how she currently sits IMG_5193.jpg

    Fixed a leak I had at the turbo feed and took it for a spin. She needs a BATH![​IMG]
