Builds futuristic rail gun, films with potato.

That god awful noise is the antithesis of the 787b.

I hope there is more to this story than what I can find on google. Correct me if I am mistaken, but there were two unsubstantiated claims of an unknown person calling a black student the “n word”, and an incident of a swastika of human feces being left on campus. How in the fuck are either of these the responsibility…

I think for all around package, the 2867 is the perfect turbo for the MZR. Nice choice.

In the early days they didn’t make power past 5500, and in oem tune very true. But most tuners now are discovering that the MZR thrives in high revs if you get a turbo that’s not out of its efficiency range like the k04. Versatune is about to release a tuning solution to allow revs to 9500, and there are builders now…

Your friend was highly unlucky. The speed 6 motor was identical to the gen 1 speed 3 and cx-7. The gen 2 was damn near identical to those except the vvt issue was corrected and the piston design was altered. Otherwise, identical hardware. The 6s got their reputation because they were the first generation of the motor…

Iwas about to say,don’t leave top gear out,they loved the car.Rightfully so.

I am never a fan of modifying the suspension until you are capable of pushing the stock equipment to its limits. To hell with how it looks, monster truck suspension ftw!

Mazda’s decision not to market was intentional. None of the Mazdaspeeds have been marketed as mass appeal vehicles. They don’t even certify all their dealerships to sell or service them. It’s a noble thought to keep it in the hands of purists, but at the same time Mazda needs to make money now more than ever. I hope…

As someone who’s first car was an accord and a manual, I can confirm that you can still get into plenty of trouble with it. It’s all about perspective, I mean everyone here realizes a newish, not even new, Camry is “faster” than an NSX. I had a friend in high school given access to a CTS-V, yes he crashed it. But he…

All very valid points, and in most cases I think you are spot on. But my son is nearly 5, will be kart racing next season, and so long as he enjoys it, will continue to grow up in that atmosphere. I would like to thing that a 16 year old that started driving at 5 could be trusted with a relatively slow speed 6 if it…

I love the 280z, I’m glad they are finally starting to come up in value enough that people are restoring them and you can find clean examples now. You going for a restoration project or planning to build it into something else?

CPE doesn’t make cheap anything, but it is quality stuff. Full disclosure, they sponsor my 13’ speed 3 so I may be biased.

I know exactly where you are coming from, but again I am saying that this is not the “performance” car in stock form that you think it is. It is a big, heavy, all wheel drive car. Would it be my first choice for a 16 year old, no, but is it a horrible choice, to me, no. That zero to sixty time was with a professional…

Shops make rape on intake valve cleanings, it is ridiculous. I am due on my 3 to be honest, but I am waiting for my Custom Performance Engineering Intake manifold to come in, I want to do all that at once, just like I did the entire exhaust side at once.

Also, for the sake of Mazdaspeed owners everywhere, the “Yo!” comment....so far off base. I have met a handful of “Herrafrush, Bro, Stance Nation, Flatbrim sidesways wearing” Mazdaspeed owners. Go to Mazdaspeedforums.org and behold how they get roasted. Most Mazdaspeed owners are “car guys”, the kind of guys that just…

Yeah, they do. It is basically their answer to the BNR S3. Too bad for them BNR responded by released the S4, lmao. Granted the S4 will require a built motor if you push it to it’s limits.

I will correct myself, I looked over his profile, he’s on stock diameter intake and turbo inlet, exhaust, the turbo, and no meth or Ethanol to speak of. Probably not making that much power, perhaps 325 or so, but still plenty for canyon roads like this.

Couple points here, assuming you raised a child around performance cars, this is not really too powerful in stock form. It is a heavy car, and more importantly a safe car. Would I trust every 16 year old with it, absolutely not, but would I trust a responsible 16 year old that grew up with a respect for what cars are…

As did Matt Farah. They are really underrated hidden gems.
