Waiting for a new rear motor mount to be installed as the noise from the jbr was too much race car. And they're doing the boost control solenoid as well. Hopefully, that fixes the boost cuts. If not, well, AP V3 and corksport turbo for Xmas. Moar powa!

Gallery of a Mazda CX-3 Racing Concept, or a RallySpeed of sorts.

Embedding doesnt seem to work but I could easily use these seats in my Speed.

And for those wondering why I changed motor mounts, I guess its all about the urethane. This was after market rear motor mount #2, a JBR 80a:

Compared to the Corksport 70a RMM:

If anyone wants to buy a Hypertech for all 06-09 Mazda 2.3L (both turbo and non TC) and a Dashhawk, let me know… just figuring out the route to the AP.

I wish I had a dash cam for this a few days ago.

Driving around the bend N. on SW Marine as it turns into Granville, just north of the Chev. Two younger Chinese girls standing beside their cars in the leftest southbound lane with their phones out, pretty much standing in the oncoming traffic; looking at the front of the Bentley something that rear ended an SLS AMG. No four ways on at all and why would you b/c lol Vancouver drivers.

I gave them each a honk as I drove by shaking my head.

That made me smile a bit.

But I was more laughing at the fact that a Bently and an SLS were involved and they clearly had no clue either how to drive or how to deal with the situation. There was a parking lot just 60 feet away but no fuck it, lets just park in the middle of Granville and wonder wtf.

When you think your diff or trans is low.on fluid due to crazy vibes that match rpm and speed.. but it's a wheel bearing. So freakin loud.

Wow, how he didn't log his engine I donut know. I've managed to pick up some water once when I left my cai on too long, speedy did not appreciate that. The cai also sits less a foot off the ground.

Randomness: Richmond mazda has a speed6 on the lot. If anyone's Interetested in a family turbo awd sedan, ill go with you and grind them down with you. I've learned the hard way with mine and can save you a lot of time and maybe some money too.. lol?

The engine's in the middle, air intakes are relatively high up. Lambos are basically an Audi, so pretty well screwed together these days.

The freetards got me wrench happy a few years ago but wreckers have me less than happy. I have been looking for an engine for my vehicle and when I phone a wrecker and ask if they have any; the answers are "Yup we have a few with just under or over 200K on them" , but go down to the yard a few days later and see the vehicles in person and they all have just under or over 300K on them. This seams to be the case with every wrecker I have been to. I guess there is no mandate for accurate milage for these guys. Any body know any details on finding icbc writeoffs for a parts vehicle?

I'm the best at being modest !
