Yes.

Hell yes. I'd definitely be interested in some better axles. BTW, the weather was nice on the Island last week. :) Felt great in Langley and Victoria.

I've got to say that a new PCV valve rubber seal for the valve cover really helps with vacuum!

Short 5th gear pull last night, partial throttle. About time to really dial it in and turn it up!

Wow, I totally missed this post. 1) I am using two different brand fans. I've had each for a while, and they are hold-overs from my previous setup where I could only use one puller fan due to turbo proximity. The one currently on the passenger side for my A/C is a Maradyne Champion Series...

Indeed it is good to still be rolling my same car!

Today I got under the car for a checkup. I checked the turbo manifold bolts, checked for leaks, and checked the oil. No oil burned! I ended up repositioning some of the hose clamps for the Turbo Life intercooler for easier access, and noticed a little oil residue in one of the intake pipes on...

Lots of police on the island huh? Good to know, as I'll be there again next month. This would be one heck of a deal to jump on for someone.

Wow. I've had mine for years, and none have ever broke.

I was also able to do the first oil change done as well. Here is how my magnetic drain plug looked....

Thursday evening on the way home, I noticed that my Haltech air intake temp read -41 F! I knew this couldn't be right, so after verifying that it was plugged in tight, I determined that the sensor had finally went bad. Luckily this is a common sensor used in quite a few GM vehicles, so it is...

I'm probably going to try to replace it with the one I got from Mazda. From my searches on Amazon.com, it seems to be this one: CIPA 36400 Wedge Auto Dimming Rearview Mirror with Compass and Temperature

Next is a wash and tuning. I also need new window tint, and also new auto-dimming rear-view mirror.

Those wheels are SICK!

So I was finally able to go and get my mid-pipe made. In order to get it done, I had to do a base tune just to be able to drive it to the shop. Next it is time for a wash!

Here is what the car sounded like with the open pipe installed. Click for the video:

Ok, so I was finally able to get the temporary exhaust pipe made for the wideband to go in so I can get to the exhaust shop. Here's to hoping I make it there... I used metal tie strap (and zip ties, but not in that order) to temporarily suspend the rear section of exhaust for the trip.

sick!!

Wow, how did I miss this thread!! Good stuff in here. Did you happen to see the reinforcement plate from Ferdi?: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123837456-GB-5th-gear-plate-mod-transmission-brace-group-buy

Not sure I want to risk driving it without knowing the air-fuel ratio is right. I have to have a place to plugin my wideband O2 so I can tune and have assurances that I'm not running too lean. I waited this long to get my car running, and I don't want to be down again due to impatience.
