  1. 40mm looks good and drivable. I'm sick of this stance s**t goin round. Over done. And just my opinion mind... It looks stupid. Must ruin ball joints., bushes, tyres not to mention handling. Nice to see a few a aerodecks being done tho. Cus that's different. But generally what's the point. I'm a function over fashion kinda guy. I think your mazda looks great like that!
  2. Oh and i found a place at a show with loads of offcuts of vac line. So I got about 10 meters of the stuff for a fiver.
  3. If you've got the money then racetech is the way forward. Awesome stuff.Unfortunately I'm on a much tighter budget. So just snapping up bargains as and when they come up. Hence why taking a while to collect parts. So far I've only spent 220 squid. I have got. A eBay ram horn mani that I had adapted to make stronger. A budget wastegate and bov that I'll upgrade when they play up. Jdm sport intercooler. Some piping which I will powder coat. Oil feed and return line's. Turbo. EVO injectors. Dc5 fuel pump. Boost gauge. Oil gauge. Manual boost controller. So yeah doing well. Will install myself when happy got everything needed then get tuned. Only after 250/260 bhp so don't need to go mad.
  4. Yes I have and that was the argument my Mrs made insurance and tax. So I just insure and tax two cars instead and she's fine with that. Makes sense huh!!
  5. If I had more money my eg would be pirates black. But was so much cheaper to keep it blue.
  6. Jealous man I love these mazdas. Probably the best looking hatch ever made to me. I test drove a 2007 mps at the dealer. But my wife put an end to my dream.
  7. Yeah man. Like can just keep it banging for as long as I like with a little squeeze. Love it
  8. Pops are pretty normal I'd say. I can keep mine popping constantly by letting off and just squeeze pedal a tad. Apparently sounds mental when flying by.
  9. I like to use the resistor so passenger airbag keeps working. Fair dos if I wanna head butt the wheel in a crash, But don't think my wife deserves face planting the dash.
  10. Was about to say bore may be an issue but thats been covered. Is there some old spigot rings stuck in that could be replaced if that's the issue?? Do look nice!!
  11. Yeah but where from? Under the dash? Or engine? Or where
  12. Defo castrol makes top end ticky! Awful stuff. Anyway. Where is this noise coming from? Does it speed up with revs?
  13. Nice. It cost 180 at a place called g786. Have since been told it's not a very good place to go. Most people in Leicester recommend street racers. So that's where I'll go for my turbo tune
  14. It's not mega pretty but it will do. Spent the last three hours straightening bent fins. Much better for it.
  15. Was all sorted after a dyno tune. I have vtec and iabs at 5.3k now. Seems to be a nice setup. Although I'm convinced it could be better. Guy kept saying another hour on dyno is only 100 quid. Like he was trying to make me spend more for a better tune. He never mentioned time in the first place. Just gave me a price for a tune.
  16. I purely asked about the power. Because there is still grey areas to me as to what improves these engines. Mine is only around 175bhp despite spending a fare bit but it takes a dump on lots of bigger cars so I know numbers mean nothing. Yeah I was referring to the valves and studs when said random. I'd guessed as much it'd had damage at some point. Lovely car tho man. Looks the dogs dangles. a car of the month candidate I reckon. For next month any way.
  17. In that case your laughing!
  18. All honda cats look the same. But the flanges are at different angles and different lengths.
  19. Looks really nice. Some random upgrades on a otherwise standard motor. Be interested to know what power it makes with the ecu and throttle
  20. Sounds good setup. Be careful with those h tune maps though. My car felt like it was running ok then dynoed 142bhp on h tunes map.
  21. Yeah bodywork is redonkulous!!! Was a painful day I handed over the cash for my eg. Well done on the leak
