[Grajy]

Actually, I think it was...
You've seen it too, Doc???

[Jmac]

This one?
Protege Garage - ProtegeGarage Built 2.3 Engine - Mazdaspeed6 and Mazdaspeed3

Just be aware, disregard any lead times they offer.. I was told 7-10 days and my order went like this;

2010-06-25 16:25:23 Shipped
2010-05-07 00:01:12 Assembling Product(s)
2010-05-06 07:49:45 Payment accepted

And it took a week and a half to get a tracking number

yep, 7 weeks and 4 days - still not delivered... and it was "in stock" when I ordered. (this was for an air intake)

[Grajy]

You bought one Jmac??? Was it worth the wait... and mulah???

[Jmac]

Neg, that was an Intake that I ordered - from that same place though.

[Grajy]

Ohhhh. All that waiting for an intake... sheeeeesh

[Nepharius]

I just took delivery of a WOTbox about a week ago that I ordered back in Feb.... although admittedly there was a recall and some screwing around and then they forgot about me completely....

Although its something else you might consider for the car. Haven't got mine installed yet and but the US guys seem to say positive things about it. Allows for launch control and wide open throttle shifting and should only cost you around $250 landed. http://http://www.npcompleteperformance.com/wotbox

What is a WOTbox???

[Jmac]

-> www2: wotbox

[SarcasticOne]

i dont like the sound of the WOTbox.... yeah, the launch control is kinda cool, but the "no-lift shift" feature sounds like it's encouraging bad driving habits with little to no mechanical symptathy...

I totally agree... Launch would help these tricky buggers... well... launch, but flat shifting??? No dice...

Dont knock it until you have tried it! You would be surprised how smooth gear changes are. Id even go as far as saying its easier on the drive train than a conventional shift.

Yes you are 'flat shifting' but ignition is being cut, so the revs dont build up. Its not like normal flat shifting where if you miss a gear you redline it. Have a read of the N2M link I posted above.

[Grajy]

I had a look. I'm not knocking it, it's just not for me. If it presses your buttons the right way, awesome.
Not being sarcastic.
Can't wait to see it in action to be honest...

[Jmac]

[Grajy]

I meant in real life... lol

[Nepharius]

Well if I ever get around to installing/having it installed I might show you.

[Grajy]

Lol. Coolio...

[LILZLR]

Raising boost too far on a stock engine can be dangerous. I want to look at other means of performance that is also reliable... The PROPER ways...

[Bakis]

Im near ringwood cant wait to see this thing getting around, as for the fmic just tell your insurance company the mods you have got if it worries you, but doesn't sound like it does. Once all these are on i'd do a Standback tune from chequered tuning or the XEDE from HPF just so you can keep engine within its limits plus keep boost at a stable limit. Should make some good usable power, prob need better tyres on fronts lol.

Thats my next thing after tax time getting some tyres tax is only bring me 1500ish this year .
