Looks good, any idea of cost? I was going to do the same with Porsche shadow chrome, but its $1000 per litre!

Pretty simple: You have to have a cat for the law.
Now, iirc, the 3mps has 2 cats from factory, with 2 o2 sensors to determine if the first cat is in and working.
After market down pipe's...
Yes and Yes. I have the Mazdaspeed spring kit (which are re-badged eibach pro kit), with Koni Yellows. That with stock swaybars, but uprated endlinks. Handling is brilliant, rides MUCH better than...
Also try your local auto elec. Get the same manufacturer part number as the original when mine seized. No dramas with it, over since it was replaced. Costs a fraction of what anyone else charges...
This I agree with. Especially when the reasons given for discontinuing the MPS6 was "nobody bought them". The reality is, *nobody knew about them* = marketing failure!
IIRC the announcers at the drags were always calling it a "Turbo changed SP23" (GEN I days obviously)
Well I'm by no means a guru on this but having a decent mechanic in the family helps :)
Nothing special about my suspension, Mazdaspeed springs, Koni yellow shocks. The drop was enough to push the...
Scatch that, its -3 front -1 rear...
Handles great...
Is this a Gen II thing? Don't have this prob on Gen I. Running -1 front and -3 rear. (within manufacturer spec)
Yeah price is of course the question.
I have not spoken to them directly, but from other forums, price seems to be ~2K for a GT28R size equivalent.
I'd suggest an ATP GTX28R Mazdaspeed kit...
Precisely. Mine smokes on the odd occasion, but they're getting closer together... good excuse for more go fast bits :)
Was just having a poke around google and came across this: Hottest_new_product_1.ews | www.billetturbochargers.com
Might be an option for anyone wanting to maintain stock K04 housing but go a...
Yep, this one time (not at band camp!), was on the freeway, 4th gear going form 80 - 110, car hesitated a half second and vomited forth a ball of venomous black smoke all over the car behind me. I'd...
Bah! My one and only chance to order one of everything!
Sorry to burst your bubble, but at what point did you expect car insurance to cover your blown engine? Perhaps I'm misinformed, and if so I take back all the following; but if you are trying to claim...
B12's hmmm another addition to the bananas in pyjamas? LOL
Other way around I think, The endlinks need to be longer rather than shorter.
Shipping costs are similar?
I took advantage of the GSL sale on Whiteline kit a few weeks back, all up was well under $200 delivered, speak to Greg at GSL for current pricing.
Yeah I've read that previously. However, on the hoist, with the suspension fully extended, the OEM length was found to be ideal to avoid placing load on the bar. I did get adjustable links so they...
So I seem to have finally beaten this on my car. I'll run through my journey briefly in the hope that someone else can benefit from the long frustrating experience...
Car was stock:
- No noise,...
Would seriously consider a wagon, or in fact the 4door option going forward. Something slightly more family oriented than the MPS3 but with all the right moves in all the right places!
I don't mind that one, that's more like a sun visor or something. The original looks like the kind of home made, crappy steel aero spoiler I'd expect to find on the back of a VL commodore.. Although...
Hmm mine sounds pretty much like that - accounting for how it sounds on video - and pretty much always has. Let me know if its found to be a problem LOL
Backpressure? On a Turbo? Do tell... I think you'll find that to be incorrect. NA engines, yes. Forced Induction, no.
