My stock P5 clutch lasted about two days until it started slipping in second.
You will definately appreciate the Proxes 4's that's what I have and I love them. The grip in wet is very good. In Houston, lately anyway, it rains a little pretty much every other day.(wrc)

I didn't realize the Hiboost 3 kit uses the same IHI VF22 that I have in my P5.

Well I have added a few items to the lineup.
I just ordered
1. Spec clutch stage 2.
2. Exedy Flywheel
3. 5zigen Fn01r-c hyper black wheels with proxies 4 tires.

I am also waiting on a couple call backs for the QUAIFE ATB Differential
and hope to get that ordered today as well and installed along with everything else.

No sound clips yet.. I use my brother as camera man and hes been busy running for a local gov office.

 

[briand805]

nice. let me know how you like the stage 2 clutch. I am considering stage 3 because it is the same price as 2, but let me know. also, what does the exedy fw weigh?

I actually ordered the 3 then changed the order after looking at torque specs and considering driveability. I wont be putting out enough torque for a stage 3 unless i go fordged internals.. Which would be great but is a major ordeal I dont see happening for quite some time if at all. I am trying to go overboard but it appears one mod leads to another..lol

Well I picked up the car today. I managed to put 150+ miles on it the new clutch and fly. First I headed down south to Pismo beach using frontage roads. Then made my way back north through the back roads. I pointed the car north and headed up Highway 1 towards big sur. Lots of shifting on this very windy road with lots of inclines. A very scenic drive but not the best road to get to relaxed on as going off the road at most any point gives you a 50/50 chance of either 1. Hitting a cliff face or 2. Driving off a cliff which would drop you several hundred feet. Also boulders tend to fall onto the roadway in some spots.

Anyway.

First impression- Clutch pedal is much lighter and engages quicker. No negative affect on drivability what so ever.
Flywheel gets the revs up quicker. No negative effects noticed. I had no problem pulling steep hills and had all the top end I could handle while keeping the revs down for the break in period.

Shocks and struts... car seems to handle a bit better. I didnt push to hard as I am still breaking in my new tires. The car is however nearly a 1/4 inch lower. One of my floor jack usually require me to lift on the fender then slide the jack under the rail... It took allot more lifting to make it fit after the install.


Stock clutch and fly... well they weigh a ton. I was actually shocked at how heavy they were compared to the spec clutch and fidanza fly. Ill grab some pics of the stock stuff later.

Motor mount.. Ill be installing that tomorrow as well as the A/F gauge.

Ill add more later as I have much stuff going on the next couple days with going to L.A. and what not.

sounds awesome have fun! (drive)

 

[tsunami]

what motor mount??? you have an a/f one or another stock to replace a bad stock one?

AWR rear motor mount.. b**** to put in but has improved throttle reponse and the car seems much more solid now..

Just ran out of time and wasnt able to install my innovate A/F guage today.

Second that. I'm still trying to figure out who in Massachusetts is trust worthy. I know of good Audi tuners here.. but this would be the first time with Mazda. In a way, I'd just find an Audi tuner to bolt on the stuff since Juan seemed to indicate the kit didn't need tuning (just install).

I'd try to install it myself, but usually things fall to pieces when I start to dis/re-assemble things.

you could do it yourself! mostly reg. shop tools, a few long weekends, if you handy at all and have the mechanical aptitude...?

 

[bazooka joe]

oh ya, nice kit and good work juan!!(yes)

 

[Doodsmack]

nice car, that is sweet with the valve cover on. i can imagine how much more fun it is to drive.
