Low boost 10PSI it has 202HP and high boost 20PSI is 255 with 580 NM of Torque.

Also can anybody point me in the right direction as to which is the best G/box and diff oil for 3.9 torson diff

Thanks

Looking brilliant Mehul. I think the bonnet badge plasti dipped in black would look good.

6 speed gearbox wouldn,t go astray to ensure reliability. Would love to see the car in the flesh one day. Let me know if you attend any track days.

Yeah, I'll blacken the Mazda badge soon.

I'm hoping the gearbox holds up fine, never needed the high boost on the street. I think with a good gearbox, diff fluids and thoses light weight wheels will reduce the amount of stress on the g/box.

Geting chrome door sills soon and maybe upgrade the headlight bulbs,Vented bonnet to maybe.

Brought catch can, chrome door sills waiting to come in mail.

Was a blast to drive today, probably could use with a bit more gauges and vents to keep the engine a bit cooler. Also wanna get my hand on a joyfast gear knob



My cars soooooooooo nice

Sounds good Mehul. Just remember temperature gauge is out by at least 13 degrees.

Yeah its usually running between 100 to 90 mostly so all good.

Was bored so i debadged it, i think it looks much better. Thinking about putting some sort of front lip there and eyelids.

I have changed headlight blubs to Narva 120% brighter. Thinking about De-badging rear as well

Unless you drive at 150km/h for hours at a time, every day, vents will do next to nothing to keep the engine cool. It will make a marginal difference in engine bay temperature and that's about it.
Your car is not overheating and even if it does, there are other, more effective, ways of fixing it.
Your car doesn't need to "run cooler and make more power" it has plenty.

PLEASE learn how to drive it and improve your skills, as I'm sure Ron would have said the same, and PLEASE do some proper research before doing ANYTHING.
You couldn't even figure out how to remove the hardtop, so you really need to take a breather, read, learn, take advice.

Before you throw your toys out of the cot, I know this car very well (if you don't believe me, ask Ron) and all you need to worry about for the next 5 years are oil changes and tyre pressures.

You bought a low-mileage, well-kept car that has been modified with taste.
Please, don't f#*k it up.

Don't worry i wont, i have de-badged the back end now looks sweet expect i need to fill holes maybe.

debadged

It will look good once the holes are filled in.

catch can in cusco one.

joyfast gearknob super short is very good






small weight reduction

Only thing i have laying around is a oil pressure gauge to fit need someone who can do it cheaply.
