My cars have very small ring anchor points. Also I exploit the suspension humps where possible. I just go to MEC (or REI) and buy bunch of quicklok carabiners of difference sizes. Then use 1inch strap downs.Remember 1L is 1KG, so make sure you get carabiner that can stand the weight. I think even a mesh cover/ suspender cover would be another safety thing to get. Quote:

Speaking of e85 can we acquire that at blaine aswell?
In my research i can use it with the n54 motor mix combination (gas/e85) Quote:

I run a 20-25% E85 mix with 94 pump gas with a sprinkle of methanol on top.

Polished and waxed her up.
Pulled out the aluminum trim to be repainted... they were pitted and scratched to shits from the previous owner.
TO DO:
- Refinish & repaint rims
- Replace fog light bulbs
- re-plastidip the silver shadow line trim
- Polish exhaust tips
- wrap roof gloss black

Got the Del Sol seats installed today! Doing the seat rail swap took so long, but it was well worth it. Glad to see it matches the gray interior quite nicely! I am already sitting an inch or two lower compared to the stock seats 
I took off the 5 panel mirror and shift knob from my old Del Sol before selling it, and installed it in the VX yesterday 
What's coming: clutch kit, coils, amber corners, aftermarket steering wheel, short ram intake, fog lights. Also picked up 2 new master keys today, feels like I'm driving a new car ($11 for both keys!)

Well well well... look what is in the right corner of trunk!  Lol
Cobb Accessport V2 - Any reason you didn't get the V3?!! I knew you were going to a tune sooner or later
I am going the other route for tune... after warranty expires. Quote:

I am going the other route for tune... after warranty expires. | Because it came with the car  IMO it was a perfect tuning situation for me because im a total noob with the euros really.lol Up until a month and a half ago i had no clue with this car. The simplicity and noob proof of the COBB works best for me. Just a plug and play to the obd reader and your good to go compare the jb4 were you have to mess around with the ecu.lol
As of now im pretty content with with the stage 1 its plenty fast for city driving. Depending on how the car goes IF there are no major problems along the way ( like the horror stories on the forums regarding the n54/turbos/vanos/waterpump/hpfp the lists goes on .lol)
I will switch over to stage 2 +intercooler
match with 1M wider fenders/bumper and the almost ready fender flares Quote:

BC Mazda3 Dyno day at Racing Greed  
Uncorrected 287hp/277ft-lbs
Corrected 338hp/325ft-lbs
Kinda disappointed with the results. It was a hot day and the turbo was struggling to hit my boost targets. The corrected results are pretty close to what Virtual Dyno gives me with the Mustang Dyno correction factor when I plot my 4th gear data logs.

Yes, still her car. I highly recommend finding a wife who wants you to mod the crap out of her roadster and encourages the hobby. In fact, I publicly and fully endorse it.
