[tastysi2004]

first!!! great job flo! ill be after you!!!

[Bleupit80]

Nice Flo!!!

[ms3blackmica]

Oh snap.

[ItsNox]

Very nice!!! Curious to see what springs you go with and HELL YEA on those gears!!!

[CWP_MS3]

You sneaky little slut, you...

[802MS3]

This is serious. Hope it all comes together so I can come see it during one of my trips down to the Equinix campus.

[brandonf]

Any suggestions on pieces I might be missing or feedback on pieces I don't have yet? Oil cooler/exhaust cut out/etc?

@802MS3; I'm down in Virginia Beach, but I might be able to sneak away on a data center trip if you give me a heads up..

Be weary of electric cutouts. @avesfan101; is pushing 500+ HP and the heat from it has cooked like 4 electric cutouts. All replaced under warranty, but still.

Matt Damon Oil Cooler is always a nice addition. Especially on this kind of build.

[kidlifecrisis]

Subbed, this looks promising Brandon!

[NCspecV81]

Curious on the ms6 final drive. How that work with the pu gears?

[brandonf]

I talked to dave woods and he mentioned he's pretty sure that's what he is using in his 6.. i do need to do some more research though, cuz it sounds like I should be using the first final gear from the pu as well, but not sure..

I was originally going to just swap the guts from everything in the pu tranny to the 6 though

[NCspecV81]

Well if you get that final to work post up the details I'll follow suit.

[brandonf]

Due to my laziness, I just went with the h&r coilovers from edge.. also bought the cpe 3 gauge mount and sr48 muteki lugs (cuz @Rokusek; stole mine)

I am disappoint.

[maddocx240]

@brandonf; where are you getting a koyo radiator from?

After talking with @2.0t03speed;, he mentioned I probably won't need an upgraded radiator if I get a aux fan controller, so I'm going to try that route first. I can always add one later on if I need though.

i dont know of koyo making a radiator for the ms6, thats why i asked. i know they make one for the gen1 ms3.

[2.0t03speed]

baller alert

[brandonf]

Added car audio setup, but likely no one here cares.

[speedfreak2013]

very nice list also curious about the final drive and gear swap

yes.. plenty of time to do research on what i'll need, collect parts, and to plan it properly. I do plan on installing stuff like suspension, but nothing major until the breathalyzer comes out

[L0k1]

Nice

[89T]

Ooooooo I like it very much

[Putin 2.3T]

Lets have a race to see who installs their motor first..

[brandonf]

Well they way you're going, it'll be me

[Manny]

@2.0t03speed; if you ought to go full retard, this the way to go about it. I approve of this.

[brandonf]

Apparently I forgot to cash my profit sharing check from christmas, so work sent me a new one... so....

Front diff mount ordered from newage

[Bleupit80]

Nice FLO. Wish I had the patience and funds to do this!!

[brandonf]

I also just purchased the MDM power steering cooler, cuz why not?

Next up is the fuel system parts

[ItsNox]

Shit just keeps getting sweeter. I like how this is going. I should consider doing the same since I fried a ps pump at ENM @ the tail of the dragon.

Ricer lugs and H&R coilovers showed up today.. hopefully the cp-e triple gauge pod will show up tomorrow

[brandonf]

I'm about to pick this up, but not sure which fittings to get:

Mazda Speed 3/6 Dual Pump System

I'm going with the dual dw300's, but not sure between these options:

-6 supply and return
-8 supply and -6 return
-8 supply and return

@psychophyr; or anyone else?

[Putin 2.3T]

8AN all the way!

[brandonf]

Moar purchases! I picked up the AEM FPR/FueLab -8an In/Out Fuel Filter from @Putin 2.3T; and also purchased the Squash Performance dual itfp tophat w/ dual dw300's -8an supply/return.

Moar to come soon!

you do know the JMF v2 is a -6 rail right ? should of just got the -6 setup.

-6AN ORB to -8AN male fittings aren't hard to find. That's what I did for my setup.

[2.0t03speed]

but why not just do straight -6? save money on fittings/line. his fuel rail is -6 his fpr is -6. iono just makes more sense to me to use -6 instead of adapting up and down.

What the fuck man you're buying new sweetness every day of the week. By the time you're ready to put it all together you'll have more parts to put on the car than are already there.

Love it.
