Hey guys, I've owned my car for over a year now but am moving permanently from Alberta to BC, so I figured I'd sign up here. Going to be based out of Victoria by the end of June. Anyone know good dealerships, tuning shops, forum members around there? I've heard good things about 5252 motorsports, plan to go there to get dyno tuned soon. I like working on cars, so I'd be game for any meets/installs. If you ever need an extra hand I'm always game! Current mods are TWM full replacement shifter, TRZ dogbone rear motor mount, TRZ transmission mount, CPE passenger side mount, Corksport intake/turbo inlet, Forge BPV, and Corksport Race pipe, and a few cosmetic mods. Next step is to install KMD fuel pump internals, Corksport downpipe and Steedspeed turbo manifold. Just a couple shots:    |

If you have the CP-e Passenger Side Mount.. have you checked that it has Loctite on those bolts holding everything together.
Huge issue with those mounts.

Hey guys, sorry about the delay in response, just got back from vacation! Welcome! Too much snow. lol.
That was a light overnight calgary winter snowfall. It gets much much worse lol. Nice list of mods, planning on getting an AP any time soon?
I already have AP with a custom map, however my fp and lack of AP knowledge are the next limiting factors. Thus, its time for a new pump and some dyno tuning. Anyone know how good 5252 motorsports is on the island? Do they have any speed3/6 experience? Welcome to the forums and hope to see you on the roads in Victoria soon!
If you see me be sure to wave me over! I'm debadged now with blacked out tails and black emblems Welcome! Love the true red.
Thanks man, it glows after a detail! It's the driver side mount that failed with the 8 hex cap bolts, but yeah red loctite your stuff!
Thanks for the advice guys, the passenger side mount came with the hex bolts prenistalled and they were too tight for me to tighten anymore. I covered the other bases though  welcome... love the shifter! Thanks! I'm not a fan of shifters that don't seem to have any shaft It goes against common sense for road racing anyway lol. I'm going to try an attempt the downpipe and turbo manifold install by myself. If any of you guys have experience with it and live on the island, i'll gladly pay you/buy you beers or pizza in return for any help. This install is a little out of my comfort level so any help at all would be appreciated. Also I don't have access to a floor jack or lift yet  PS: Anyone looking to install parts and need an extra hand just shoot me a message! Love working on mazda's, especially speeds. |

Yup, 17x9 +45 with Hankook VV12's 245/40. HR springs on the way, I was going to do KW V2's but will try just sways and springs this season and see how I feel.
