Drizz-OH! build/progress thread

[Drizz-OH!]

I wired mine to the brake lights so they only come on when the brakes do.

Pics look great, exhaust sounds dirty! Very nice!

 

[Drizz-OH!]

Debadged the 'Mazda6' off the trunk. Rotating tires tomorrow.

 

[Drizz-OH!]

Whooooop! Optima Red Top Battery installed last night! It was tons of fun rerouting all my battery cables and trying to make it fit with my strut bar and CF hood....not.

 

[Drizz-OH!]

Weeeee! Tomorrow is Dyno Day! Time to see if my new mods have added any power.

Previously I was @ 202whp and 182wtq with only the CP-e MAFci intake system (February 2008)

New mods since last run: Weapon-X Ignition Coils, NGK Iridium Spark Plugs, Steeda Throttle Body Spacer, Custom Exhaust.

Not sure if these mods will make any more power, but the car sure feels better which may yield some recovered hp's and torque's along the drivetrain: Synthetic Engine Fluids, Street Unit Rear Engine Mount, Custom Engine/Battery Grounding, Optima Red Top Battery.

I'm hoping to be in the 215whp range. We'll see!

 

[zinger002]

good luck man.

 

[Drizz-OH!]

Well...I was pinging on the dyno with my 87 Octane gas, so I'm gonna go back after I finish burning up this tank and try again with 89.

In other news, ordered the SU Rear Floor Brace today, hopefully it will arrive soon. I love car parts that you can't see after they're installed! Lol.

 

[JDM-P5]

87octane!!!!?
WTF!!!

 

[Drizz-OH!]

Lol. Yeah, well the manual recommends 87 Octane, but I've added nearly 30 whp to my car and I guess it doesn't like it haha.

 

[Drizz-OH!]

Might be getting some new carbon fiber sexiness tonight.

 

[Drizz-OH!]

AIT Carbon Fiber Roof Spoiler installed!

I know it looks kinda faded in the last pic. I assure you it is in pristine condition. I waxed it before I installed it which is why it's so reflective. Love it!

 

[viperman]

is this the same as mine? Looks the same and the car is coming along more nicely.

 

[Drizz-OH!]

Haha probably... I didn't you know you had one bro. And thanks, just gotta get a few more small CF accents now to tie it all together.

 

[mglavina]

I always wanted a roof spolier, yours looks great!

 

[xDJ DUBx]

I want a roof spoiler

 

[viperman]

Haha probably... I didn't you know you had one bro. And thanks, just gotta get a few more small CF accents now to tie it all together.

Had one since last year Andrew..I see the cf bug has bitten you..can't wait to see the rest of the cf project!(rockon)

 

[Drizz-OH!]

MG...thanks! You should get one!

DJ...I want a turbo.

Avik, probably just gonna get the cf b-pillar overlays & the Mazdaspeed cf license plate frame. We'll see what's up as time goes on. I plan on keeping the hood painted tho.

 

[mglavina]

Yeah as soon as my wallet wants one... lol

 

[Drizz-OH!]

Lol. My friend bought it new about 2 months ago, then traded his MS6 for a BMW....so I got it for $60. It looks and feels brand new.

 

[mglavina]

I was looking at the ducks garden roof spoiler but still it may be a bit too big/ricey... also, I've never heard of anyone buying something from there.

Decisions... lol.
