nice. thanks for the pic. i just had one more question. do you here any noise now that you took everything off, does evertything sound and feel alright? thank you btw your car is sick!

thanks, I have yet to drive it though. Im still waiting for my stuff to get back from powdercoating. I took off the 2 pieces from the top of the grill as well, they direct air into the stock top mount. It should let some more air behind the front mount for cooling purposes with them out too. Good luck, ill keep you posted about any noises once i get the car back together.

I just had my Cobb FMIC installed Saturday and was thinking of what I should remove from underneath the hood. I've already removed the rubber shroud surround that connects to the hood that sat on top of the TMIC. Should I just go ahead and remove all of the plastic ducting or leave it be. It seems like if I remove all of it, I'll just be left with hood insulator. Do I really need the plastic ducting to just keep some air being directed into the battery box? Seems silly.

mazda really screwed us on this one. Once you remove the plastic ducting youll be left with and empty spot. They didnt put the hood insulator all the way across. It looked silly, thats why I removed it all. I guess its all based on your personal opinion once you get it off. Its not hard to put back, try it and see what you like

I always said I wanted to make a calander when I was stuck on oahu.

go to the exact spot where all these various pretty shots are taken, then spin the camera 180 and make a calendar of THOSE shots

Oahu suffers from a terrible infestation of homo sapien
