I hate this car, my CC and bank love it...

I hate this car. First it was just gonna be an intake, then I'll be fine with that. Then maybe just a cat back, but no more, no more. Then...well, I might as well go with a turbo back, but hey, with a flash that'll be plenty. Now...well, the GT3071r is only 1800 and good for 350wheel, 400+ on a built motor.

Ah well. Just gotta keep telling myself I wanna retire early and that law school is a bit more important than a bigger turbo with a front mount. I think. Anyway, the photographer from Saturday is starting to get pictures loaded, I'll have some up for your veiwing pleasure tonight.

cassie. If you don't have cash for it then stop buying. Cash is king and a turbo paid for is better than a turbo that can be repo'd

Re: I hate this car, my CC and bank love it...

Lol, I know. I'm being real smart with the money I spend on this, I know full well that every single mod will net me a massive big fat zero dollars when it comes time to let her go, lol. And I am gonna be getting another car, most likely spring time. You VR4 and DSMers can kiss my ass...I'm getting an MGB. British electronic systems FTL. Of course...I'm sure we can squeeze an LS1 into that bitch.

HAHA cassie, you know youre screwed right? mazda's already reeled you in and put you on the grill to cook you up. Seriously though if you do slap that turbo on youre gonna wish it was RWD, lol.


On anothe rnote, i might have a few things coming in for the rx-8 if some deals go right.

Have you talked to Ken at PG? I was looking over there in the RX-8 section, and most of the stuff looks a good bit cheaper than what most suppliers/vendors are charging.

In other news, I gots a date with a dyno next Saturday, that means this Saturday is only slightly less packed than originally planned. Meeting with a financial advisor at 10, then racing across the metroplex to get to the one exhaust shop out of about thirty that I've talked to that is going to be "cool" with what I want to do (South Africans who don't care about US Federal Law are awesome), then trying to figure how I want to install and actually installing my boost gauge and AFR, then the new BOV if I decide to order it tonight, and then off to a quick dinner and the meet, which is supposed to be getting filmed. Fun stuff.

Re: I hate this car, my CC and bank love it...

oh the stuff im getting isnt going to be too much, i'm just waiting for the suppliers response, the most expensive parts are the shocks and spring (mazdaspeed 70% stiffer than stock and best performance ones out of any that are available, and im not comparing to coilovers thats a different story) the Shocks and springs are gonna cost around 350 so its a huge savings but again im waiting for the guy to respond to my posts.

Understandable. I like PG for the simple fact that they don't charge shipping on anything, they have everything in stock, and it can be anywhere from $10 to almost $100 cheaper than anywhere else.

Re: I hate this car, my CC and bank love it...

you also forget i have the two biggest rotary tuners in my backyard, mazsport and Pettitracing. so if i was going to buy something from them i wouldnt get charged shipping since i would go pick it up from them and also get dyno runes to compare the differences for each mod.
