    I was looking at those last night on the other forum and asked Rachelle what she thought. It's a good price. Not too ricey. Do you know if the vents are open? Might actually be functional.

    Joe(DPTune) and I are talking about tuning solutions for this project. He is the one who is tuning it now in it's N/A form. I want to see what we can come up with together for a ECU Reflash. If not then stand alone. Piggybacks like the Standback don't work so well on the 07+ NA 3's. (Read...

    Tear apart/build the motor and trans. Using a Rotrex C30-94 Supercharger for forced induction. Will have to custom fab brackets and plumbing and what not, as there is no "kit". The smooth power delivery of the SC will be much more manageable then a turbo. It will also run cooler. Here is a...

    Here is what I did on Friday. My friend's speed had a bit of an off. So I am going to rebuilt it for him. The radiator, AC condenser and intercooler, was smashed and pushed back touching the motor. The crash bar and radiator housing were bent and broke. It tore off the oil filter, and broke...

    1. I hope! 2. with a 245 Tire, 38mm offset, on a 8.5 inch rim, there is maybe 3mm of clearance from the coil over. I am using a set of KW's. The spring perch is much, much smaller then the stock strut. 3. You can go 18's, just with a smaller sidewall. My motivation for changing wheels is...

    I haven't read the thread in a little while, just skimmed through to get caught up. I have been running 225/45r17's Dunlop Direzza star specs with a 48mm offset on the track/street for two years. Yesterday, picked up a set of 17x8.5 38mm offset Enkei PF01's, wrapped in 245/40R17 Direzza's. I...

    Ya I wish I could make it up. But it was either this weekend off or Oct. 2nd and 3rd to run with the Porsche Club at Mid Ohio..... Just trying to squeeze out all the track time possible before winter. Levi, or anyone, if you have any questions give me a call. I'll share all that I know...

    Thanks Man. Well technically it was on my conti's, which are 215/50r17's. Stock is 205/50r17's. So I think the math puts it around 145. But who's counting! I can't wait to force the induction issue this winter. Salt flats here I come.

    I've been working with a guy in Texas that owns DPTune.com. He has 1st and 2nd gen speeds cracked. As well as 1st gen regular 3's. Had the car tuned in the spring, sent it back for a couple times for fine tuning. So far so good. Speed limiter at 118 is gone, Rev limiter reset to 8k. Drive...

    Ya its still the same. You have to think of it as a tarmac rally stage more then a road course. I feel much safer at Mid Ohio for sure. And spicy is right, today four cars hit the wall. There were maybe 20 there total... I was a car behind a 87 civic going around the carousel. The carousel...

    The Track! Going to test out a new app for my Android. It is a lap timer, g meter, food processor thingy with data logging. Has good reviews, guys are saying it was actuate to a tenth with the track transponders. It was 8 bucks. If it works, it will be well worth the money.

    You know you drive a Mazda 3 when...

    At gas stations you have to explain that, no it's N/A, not a turbo. And no it's not AWD(for us hatches).
