A lot of peoples wash and wax their cars or get it done and even peoples driving hybrids don't bother other peoples when they do it... Here is a suggestion of your build list for this forum to be space efficient: Performance/Maintenance done by a shop: 1. Purple Drank retune and e85 tune in progress done by me: 1. Corksport long (catted) downpipe 2. Damond Motorsports short shifter plate 3. Corksport HPFP internals 4. Corksport SRI+TIP 5. Ebay Testpipe 6. JBR 80a RMM

Thank you for your suggestions, for sure! But, as you have probably noticed, this is more of a personal page to see the progress of my car over the years. If anyone is interested in following what I do to my car, I don't have a problem with it. I appreciate the bashings because they can help show me where I might be going a little overboard, I appreciate the support because it can show me the things I should stick to, and I appreciate the advice because it only brings me more knowledge. I use this site as a base for almost all of my car knowledge and it hasn't let me down yet!

Fucking with posters, especially when new and doing stupid things, is in our culture, our DNA. You have to earn your cred here. A rite of passage. Don't take it personally, just stop doing stupid things, read more, post less, learn -- then contribute. This is by far the best Internet forum for Mazdaspeeed cars. It's all here. But, there is an intolerance for stupidity and for laziness.

I'm less concerned about the billboard sticker than I am about those dangerous red fogs. Seriously, that shit will get someone killed.

And appearance mods and routine maintenance are not "build" items. Even adding bolt on power mods is not a "build". A build is when you pull the engine and go through the block and cylinder heads, upgrade internal engine components and add hard core parts like aftermarket manifolds, large MAF sensor intakes and big turbos.

More reading of true build threads would have informed you that your mods do not qualify as a build.

Actually OP, nobody will bash you for doing stupid things. But will crucify you for writing about you doing stupid things. Otherwise we don't care, you can phoken stance your car belly to the ground, just don't tell us.
