Speed5hornets build update thread!

W00T! just got the car back from the shop, the grand total for installing the msp clutch/pressure plate was $408. It feels a little stiffer, but i notice it more so after i shift gears and let off the clutch. It seems to "pop" out faster. But as soon as i got the car home, i started to paint my rear valence! Right now the first coat is on and drying, i finally got a good camera ;) (yeah for me) and i will take pics as soon as its done.

p.s MAN does it feel wierd to sand let alone spray paint a part of your cars body work....its a weird feeling haha
 
allright its been done for a while, but i am sooo happy with the results! This is probably my 2nd favortie mod to date! check the pics!!!!

Next mod, pull the HALL emblem off the hatch. Unless your family owns that dealership of course. Nice job on the valance.
 
haha, yeah i know! i plan on selling my racing beat springs on the forums to a "sedan" member...i was not told they were intended for the sedans when i purchased them. Im probably gonna use eibach pro kit, i just have to check for rubbing issues on my 205/40/17's....
 
....yeah but then again that dealer is looking at gettin my car on to the mazda main stage at the H.I.N show in chicago and minneanapolis soo.....But if it doesnt work im sooo taking it off and the mazda logo to, and putting a mazdaspeed one in its place
