The time has come to move onto a different project. My MS3 is going back to stock. Here's whats up for sale:
OEM Mazda car cover - $145 (MAZDA 3 ONLY!)
Custom Intake Manifold - $425
You may scoff at the price of this, but here is why its worth it:
1) Look up the cost to get porting work done. s*** will run you over $500. The performance
gains are noticeable. I dont want to throw out some number, but you can definitely feel it on the butt dyno, especially in the higher RPM range
2) I have shaved the mounting tabs for the TMIC, sanded and polished it down to a beautiful finish. Its not perfect, but it was certainly good enough for me
3) butterfly valves and vcts system deleted, no more robbing power.
4) You get to keep your stock...
