Its just more expensive. No downside otherwise.
YAY! Update! It's time for an update!
The Alcon Rotors that came with this kit are a street focused steel, they did fine at the racetrack as well but I heat damaged and wore them down enough to...
Definitely shouldn't happen. The pop off valve at the top of your gearbox is blocked for sure.
Ecutek does swas delete just fine. I am all in on their software now. It's POS access port thats generally shit.
Only just noticed this!
All you need to get is a 7/16 UNF hi tensile nut and you are good to go. There is a tab on the bracket that the seatbelt buckle bolts into, but you need a nut as it just...
Alright, I have a permanent solution for the airbag light issue now.
For those playing along at home, when you remove the seat, you also disconnect and remove the seat airbag. This causes the...
Even F1 engineers can't make HCCI work. I'm not so much as impressed, but in a state of disbelief that Mazda think they can make it work.
They do touch up pens as well for like $10.
Dupli-Color primer and paint. They have pretty much any color off the shelf at Supercheap Auto.
Dupli-Color Touch-Up Paint - Celestial Blue, 150g - Supercheap Auto
Lucky for me the engine bay...
Yea I need something that won't spill so the Optima fits that criteria. The fact they are otherwise top of the line batteries is nice as well.
A cautionary tale. I posted this up on faceballs but I think its important to keep useful information here so people can find it later.
So I suffered the consequences of letting a workshop who...
Track day on Sunday - it was stinking hot so I couldn't set a decent lap time but the seat performed quite well. I guess the best way to describe it is you don't really notice while you're out on the...
Now that I have the harness all set up it is quite easy to swap the seats out. Just 4 bolts.
The hardest part is getting the OEM seat in and out without scratching the bodywork, since the rails...

Airbag light is blinking so no getting around that. There are bypass parts that you can plug in to stop that but apparently they only work for the steering wheel airbag. I will probably swap this...
Thanks to Lewis and Brandon in the other thread I have had my own successful racing seat install in my 2010 MPS.
I hit a point at track days where the seat was noticeably holding me back. I need...
Finally got the brake lines fully sorted. New lines with a nice aluminium billet grommet. Much better than our hack job from the initial install

Final resolution to this problem for me was to go back to an Ecutek tune.
The problem with the AP is it disables swas in first and second gear, but not in 3rd.
Another track day yesterday with the XP10 back in. I beat on these brakes like never before and they were amazing, 100% consistent every single lap.
The better heat management is noticeable too....
They are off the shelf. Come with Dog Bone and everything.
Talk to 2NV Industries about the 6 - He has a solution for you guys but it might also require new wheels, or spacers.
Nah he said it was stock. Apart from brakes and suspension.
I love seeing other Hot Hatches at track days. Mostly because of how good it feels to drive straight past them.

Fastest lap of the day:

First track day with the new brakes today. I made the mistake of thinking a set of XP8 pads in the front would help compensate for the brake bias. Instead I just got a set of brake pads that just...
Tyres fitted and looking good. These wheels will never be this clean ever again.
