Been there my man. Scary to think you just broke a $20k+ machine, but all will be well.

Same thing on my end bro. I went a little nuts (didnt have a torque wrench) and decided to just start cranking on the socket wrench to secure the BPV. Boom, ******* sheared the head off of the top bolt and destroyed any semblance of threading. Long story short, I had to drill the piece of bolt...

lol nah bro, $750+tax for the parts and install. lets just say that my dude at thedealership is one of my better "customers" lol

Do I sense some of the infamous "web sarcasm"? My camera is acting ghey today and i lost the cable to plug my iphone in, pics to come tomorrow. Totally loving that black on black look, very SR-71ish lol. I need some farging wheels

Hey everyone, I finally got along to installing the blacked out emblems on my car. The install was very easy, the front emblem's clips werent all that difficult to remove and the new emblem popped right in. The rear was simple, heat gun and dental floss (happen to have tons of that with a...

aka compressor surge, search is your friend.

Agreed, when I paid $23,100 for my GT, i couldn't see dropping that extra 2k on what's a glorified tomtom (with less than half of the features that my $300 gps has)

Update: I dropped in the yellow w/ 2 shims... the car seems to like that setup a bit more. But, I am still getting nearly no noticeable difference in "sound" from the oem valve... no ping at all? I have the stock airbox, but shouldnt I be hearing the signature forge sound?

Long story with the intake but I had a cobb SRI, decided I wanted to go CAI. Just havent had time to reorder. BTW, I'm running blue with no shims now. Will try yellow w/ 2 later. Ill post some photos of the frankenstein studs later this weekend.

So, went to my uncles boys shop, he drilled out the bolt (he said the bolts are absolute garbage and could not believe that mazda was using such low quality bolts). He rethreaded the hole (apparenty i "cold welded" the threads) and decided to use a larger gauge stud, with a titanium locking nut...

?(gossip)?

Hey everyone, So, i was in the process of installing the forge BPV, things seemed to be going pretty swimmingly, old valve came out easy, reconnected the tubing, etc. I inserted the bottom bolt first, gave it maybe 3 quick ratchets to just hold it in place. I went to insert the top bolt, no...

are those konig furthers on the black speed?

Yea, the hood scoop is exactly why I didn't get a STI...

Haha, this car is out of this world. Put 500 miles on the car in about a week, just love that acceleration in 4th and 5th.

Hey all, I just picked up my 09' black speed 3 today. This thing is a blast to drive! Just wanted to drop a line to any guys in the central jersey area.
