Daedalus Winter Update '06 Photo Thread *No 56k*

Good info guys, i havent gotten under the car to see how it will fit yet, but from the sounds of it, it will be opening to the passenger side. As far as the heat build up, I really am only on planning to open the puppy for a race or when i really want the extra power. So its not like i'm gonna run all night long with it open, though i'm sure I will a couple of times once i get addicted to the sound its gonna make.

We will probably end up fabbing some sort of metal sheild onto the bottom of the car just to be safe.
Same here... if my freakin car get fixed someday.(rant)
 
yeah i dont ever close mine. i love the sound. and its cool cuz my friends always know when im coming. they can hear me from a block away. ill try to post up a vid with sound later.

but deadalus........you got the dealer to paint your hood right? how much was it?

Yea, it was 400 bucks for the hood, the lip and the grille to be repainted and blended. (eyeballs)
 
what i want to know is what solution they used to strip the hood cause i gotta repaint mine.
 
i can't believe that there is anouther car on this forum that i love more than my own!!! any owner would be proud of that!! not just mazda enthuisiasts lol SWEET whip

Wow, very nice indeed. What did the wagon dyno at?

I believe he dyno'd at like 196whp @ 7psi on a T3/T4 turbo untuned.

Just search under "EQUINOX" and u should find everything about the ride.

Haha.......its been so long since ive seen that race with me a Reagen. That was me winning at pretty much stock boost (6-7 PSI) with that exhaust cutout......until Reagens sick 3rd gear came into play (eek2)

That was actually both of us spinning through 1st........he both revved it to 4k and just dropped the clutch (first) .....theres another vid of Reagen and I side by side (Betty filmed while in my passenger seat), and you can see and hear us spinning......I just knew when to shift into 2nd after bouncing off the limiter to get traction and pulled dat hoe!!! He just caught up when that Beast of a Turbo took over :)

Not trying to say i was faster than him, because i definitely wasnt at stock boost levels.......just saying im a better driver, lol

......and if you reading this Reagen, bring that sheet!! do I smell a turbo'd RX-8 in the works?? ;)
