Fonsi's Mazdaspeed3 Gen2

You could always use the corksport can with the jbr routing. If you don't need the ramps send them here.

Also you are up really fucking early. Or still up not sure of the time difference. Its 8:30 am here.

You're right. But then I need a check valve and I dont know were to get it in Germany. I have the JBR one, but than I can install the whole JBR kit anyways .
You can have those ramps if you pay the shipping which should be like 500USD .
Btw. its 14:40 here in Germany .

Aww fuck i was going the wrong way on the time difference. It is too early here.....

Installed the JBR OCC today:

Last spring, we forgot to throw out the mount of the oem downpipe when installing the COBB downpipe.
Since there is a lift now in our workshop, I immediately uninstalled the mount which makes a lot more room behind the engine from underneath:

A new year - new resolutions: more cars, more boost, more tuning

We started with our traditional new year's eve meeting in the workshop and installed the CorkSport Hood Struts.
They give you plenty of room when working in the engine bay.

Was ist mit der strutbar passiert? Zu viel understeer?

[Fonsi]

Wieder eingebaut. War nur kurz ausgebaut, damit ich besser an den Turbolader rankomme

[Fonsi]

Threw the fog lights out ... didnt see a difference between on and off and I've never used them anyways.

So ... because racecar. Took the car on our lift and took them out. Drivers side was easy as there is plenty of space behind. Passenger side sucks because of the washer reservoir which is straight behind the fog light.



At the weekend I'll put a cold air hose behind the driver's side opening which leads some fresh air to the airbox box.

[Fonsi]

Cold air hose. I will make some logs soon to see if it's worth.

Changed the spark plugs today after 51.000km. It wasn't unnecessary . The Denso ITV-22 are now in.




But the main reason I took off the TMIC was the throttle body coolant delete. I also cleaned the throttle body.
