this explains very much to me, thanks!

thats pretty cool, Id like to do this some time.

nice corolla, but are you sure he drifts it? im pretty sure ive never seen him out at a drift event yet. awesome work on the audi.

I dont recall any places that you could rent cars to do the dragon, but you may be able to go into a neighboring city and see. one thing to consider tho, there are photographers on the dragon all day long and they post the photos of you driving through on their website and is the rental company saw this they wouldnt be happy.

Bob, its a I mount man! its funny on Ohiodrifting people are tearing into him and hes getting all mad about it.

Haha, this guy is 100% serious about this product too which is the sad part. http://www.astrayracing.com/intercooler.htm http://www.astrayracing.com/assets/wadestraight.jpg http://www.astrayracing.com/assets/ichood.jpg V-mounts sit just as close to the rad as ours, just not inside the engine bay where stagnate air is, when sitting in staging. People that put intercoolers way closer such as directly in front of the rad. I thought it was only 179.659 degrees? IAT's ????? Is there any data from other FMIC's and Vmounts for the public that you can look up??? I'm sure, YOU can. We don't own a wind tunnel. Do you? I'm willing to bring it down for a test if so. I haven't seen too many front mounts with ducting so it goes into the core more, just front bumpers blocking them. Aesthetics, to each as own. Yes its very secure. People can nit pick about any car part. BUT for this IC you have to look at it as a whole. 1. It is more responsive than any traditional IC. 2. less prone to heat soak 3. I can keep my front bumper support and wreck into anything I want to and have a running engine unless the rad gets damaged 4. Piping does't blow off 5. No battery relocation 6. Direct air, no blockage (we have ducting for the IC, but average buyer doesn't put time into research;therefore, they would think it doesn't work.) 7. Each IC is pressure tested for 10 min straight, and is certified by us. When was the last IC kit you bought come with result papers?? 8. Best quality materials we can find right now. 9. Manufacture in the USA GO USA!! 10. You and everyone's mom isn't running an intercooler like this one. 11.You get complete IC kit with hood http://astrayracing.com/why.htm Thanks for the post, i'm glad we have engineers and scientists on this forum. But in all seriousness, if people care so much about temp degrees, angles and such.... Why do like 90% of consumers buy cheap ebay intercoolers???? We are not trying to change the word of intercoolers, we are just making an IC that is simple and makes the most sense. discuss how stupid this is.

Damnit i was just about to post that cat gif!

nice welcome to the liquid cooling club. what are your temps?

Looks like 50% chance of rain at 8 am, ill still come out anyways as i need to be in that general area anyways.

should just be able to change your cabin filter and you will be find IMO

You can SLI them no problem. the SLI clock speed will just reflect the clock speed of the slower card. basically it will down clock your FTW card to a SC edition but you could change that with the precision software.

you know you want to =P

ha ha oh well, if you know of anyone else looking for a great deal just let them know. ive been getting offers for $100 and less but im not in any pressure to sell it fast.

Tim ill definitely let you know. BTW do you have the piano black interior in your car? do you have the creaking in yours that comes from the display for the cd player?

thanks guys! yea the speed3 has a great sounding tone. Fiji, Ill probably end up selling it now that i think about it. i don't think ill ever need it back because it would be insane to change it out to get a warranty repair and since it had to be cut id need to re weld it back on. As far as the gains they are claiming +8HP and +25 TQ. as tested on Import tuner they saw +12HP and +18 tq. http://www.importtuner.com/powerpages/impp_0811_2008_mazdaspeed_3/index.html

orly?

on the forum on my phone at the meet =)

im planning on being here

well as I can tell, byers is pretty sketchy, what about Richart Mazda? any issues there?

Correct I guess I should have specified it as a BPV. well ill just talk with my buddy who knows all the service people at Byers Mazda and see what he says. maby he can get one of them to bring it in and fix it for me.

Ben the rattles were there before the mods were ever installed. there is a service bulletin out on the windshield rattle on the car in. it only happens in the cold and its because the wiper cowl cover starts to contact the trim pieces, Mazda usually just puts pads under it and it stops the other rattle, as i understand, happens on all 2008.5 mazdaspeed3's with the piano black Bose stereo. I don't recall there being a bulletin on it but if i actually put some pressure on the piece the creaking goes away. Maby ill just replace the greddy bov and the rear motor mount and bring it for service and see what i can do.

Well here is the deal, on my speed3 since Ive gotten it there is a windshield rattle on the car and there is on the inside a plastic on plastic creak that's coming from the clock bezel on the car. Ive dealt with it since Ive owned the car and now i'm just tired of hearing it. Does anyone know how byers Mazda / Subaru is with mods on cars and warrantying things? Ive added a greddy bov, Mazdaspeed CAI(this does not affect the warranty as its a Mazda product), Vibrant street power exhaust, medieval rear motor mount (looks close to factory) and RKM Shifter bushings. none of these mods would have anything to do with the rattling of factory parts but do you think it should be a issue to get the work done under warranty? While i bring the car i'm going to have them take care of some other recalls on the car just to get it all done. are there any other Mazda dealerships in the area that I could take my car? I have all the stock parts and could put them on except for the exhaust. any ideas?
