No offense taken.
Most people don't know about the Speed3, and thats why I love. Someone rolls up on me thinking I have some riced out 3 with 18s and a loud exhaust and they got an easy deal coming. Its a Mazdaspeed3, with a CP-e intake and Corksport catback exhaust. The intake really is the big first mod for this car, many people dynoing near 20 wheel horsepower more. The catback isn't a big deal, but I am working on the turbo back. I am picking up an HKS SSQV here in about an hour.
Tomorrow morning I'm heading to a local exhaust place to see if they will be willing to get those pesky emission control things out of the exhaust flow's way. Stock boost is 15 pounds, but with our shoddy ass stock BPV I'm spiking to 16 pounds and holding 13.
AFRs, however, are wonderfully rich. Wide open throttle, I start at about a low 11, and by the time I'mr reaching out into the rev range, I'm in the low 9s...I need to lean this bitch out.
