I appreciate the comment, thanks!

And more to come 🙏🏾Thanks for the comment!

Dope! Goodluck with your build!

That's dope man! I didn't do any research when I bought this one , I just wanted one for a very long time. You should definitely join a Mazdaspeed group on facebook,, There are some toxic groups but there are some good folks out there willing to help. Definitely Get an Accessport, HPFP internals and find a Tuner to get a base map tune (Justin from FreekTune is my tuner, but you'll need patience most tuners including him will take time to respond, because of the large amount of emails they receive). To keep it reliable , it's all about maintenance - quality oil changes, light upgrades (turbo, intake, exhaust, etc.) Thanks for the comment! And I appreciate the sub 🙏🏾

My wife tells me the same 😅

Do it!!

These cars are actually very easy to work on, just sensitive lol

It's intimidating but fairly easy and straight forward.

The clutch jobs on these particularly suck because you have to remove the whole engine and getting it back in is no fun

Thanks 🙏🏾

Thanks bro. Do as much research as you can before modding it. Try to avoid one that's already modified (unless it's lightly modified; ie intake, catback exhaust) Compression test it before purchase - don't know how? Make friends with a mechanic that would be able to check the car with you. Join Mazdaspeed groups - some are toxic but there are some folks that would lend a helping hand. For longevity and reliability, get upgraded HPFP internals - even if you're stock!

@@GuimardJoseph Thank you for the good tips! HAVE MY LIKE AND SUB

Thanks! Yea that was taken cared of - the previous owner had that installed - plus the motor I'm running with now has internals as well so I'm good 🙏🏾

KZfaq + Google (forums) + Tools + having the guts to try.

Yea, I did. But I don't recommend it lol. I advise getting a "crashbar" from JBR or Corksport if you convert to a large FMIC because it's a lot cleaner and you'll have a front tow hook mount as well.

Honestly, No. Once you get the transmission out, it's smooth sailing. Make sure you torque the bolts to spec tho. If you don't have a torque wrench, buy one. It was pretty easy just time consuming. Especially since I was having anxiety and working full time 🙃 😅. The HARD part was putting the transmission back on 😅 Buy a box of large ziplock bags and sharpies and label them for the bolts and some parts so you wont forget or lose them and take pictures; that will help A LOT.

@@GuimardJoseph damm got it! thanks.. knowing me it will take like 4 days of working on it on and off lol any difference with the ACT? Im basic bolt on ~285 so I think when the clutch goes i might consider the upgrade but idk

@@grape00jellly took me almost a week on and off, put that was also from overthinking. Definitely a difference, my opinion it was a alot smoother but im currently running the Xclutch which grips really nice.

No, it can't.

Try Google v3Carbon. They are a Malaysian base CF design/build hud for Gen2 Mazda3 society in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Phillipines in sedan and hatch.

Mishimoto M Line , I cut up the stock crash bar to mount it.

Spoiler is stock

Cosmis Racing XT-006R 18x11 +8 5x114.3

Unfortunately no. Just a used motor in good condition with internal maintenance already done. It's an S4. Plan on going bigger with a built motor.

@@GuimardJoseph it looks good man, mine actually just blew up last week, im doing a built bottom end and setting up port injection with the next setup. But the S4 is an awesome turbo, same turbo im using right now.

@@BlurrrieMedia port injection is definitely on my to-do list! I love the s4 but once you get a taste of course you gotta go for a bit more HP 😅 Thanks for the comment and good luck with your build bro!

@@GuimardJoseph you as well man! Follow my IG id love to see the build progress.

Checked fuses?

@@GuimardJoseph yes sir....

@@Dan-vt1qtChecked HPFP ground? Check engine light on? Read codes?

Crank + cam sensors and COP gonna be the culprit. Borrow a used parts that u know it's working normally from the nearest Speed3/6 community.

Wait until you see what I do to it next 😈
