    Hey guys, figured I would post an update, its been a while. Just finally bought a new car last month. 2007 Mazdaspeed 6 GT. 6spd/turbo/awd. Leather, nav, XM, proximity keys, 58k mile.




    So much fun in the snow, came with blizzaks on the stock wheels.

    We got the trans am build done and running.


    From what I have heard the GTP is alive still as well. The guy who bought it from me drove it halfway across the country twice. He had a few issues along the way but nothing major from what I heard. He just sold it, but I have been in touch with the newest owner so we shall see what he has in mind for it. Here's a picture that mike sent me while he owned it

    Do that fuel pump upgrade before a cylinder has a melt down.

    Cool cars, funky clutch in my eyes but something a driver would get used too. And it's 90% ford lol.

    something in this thread smells like a pile of bull poo. Either that or you are lying to yourself.

    Lmao, the mzr disi engine has a suicidal tendency of kicking connecting rods out of the side of the block for no reason. I'm trying to avoid that. Especially after looking at used long blocks on eBay selling for $3500. I really just want to do the fuel pump upgrade, ets tmic, downpipe, turbo inlet, and catback, will need a tune for that. Of course if the turbo starts losing oil I will put a bolt on upgrade in not a oem. Billet bearing cap in the tcase so I can launch it without lunching it. Needs a but more aggressive clutch for that too. So yea it will end up fully built
