Sorry then, they're still on it in the picture. You get any of the SPT parts in it?

Took those when I got the car in the middle of the summer.

Nah it's pretty basic, I have plans for an exhaust and suspension/wheels. exhaust by winter, wheels by summer

Mine doesn't have too much yet. I got the front strut and rear sway bar put on it when I got it. Since I don't wanna do anything that'll void the warranty, I plan on getting the SPT cat back exhaust put on it at the dealership either this winter or spring, tomorrow it's getting the boost gauge installed, and then over time just some trim pieces and stuff put on it. Oh and a clear bra for the whole front and some mudflaps because I'm tired of rock chips already. As far as the wheels, I'm actually a big fan of the stock rims.

stiffer rear sway is worse for snow driving, but maybe you can turn that wrx into a scrap heap and use the insurance money for a STi

i didnt know sway bars were rated by stiffness.. i thought they were rated by how thick they are..

Either way you arent going to notice a huge difference. I had every aftermarket suspension part you could buy on my old S4 and that shit was beast in the snow.

what do you think the different sizes do? make it easier to grip when installing?

im simply letting you know what the correct terminology should be when referring to sizes and types of sway bars. I build race cars bud I know what sway bars do bud.

oh because it seemed like you were an idiot, because softer/stiffer work fine when talking about the general purpose of the part.

to speak in terms of size is unnecessary, "derrrr a 21mm sway bar will.." The stiffer you go, the worse the performance in snow. Don't try to catch me in some word game, jerkoff

i thought the purpose of newschoolers anymore was to try and catch people in word games?

Talking about size does matter because you want a size that will work with whatever your stock front sway bar is, that is unless you are upgrading both. Sway bars are a reactive piece and need to work together (front and back) if you want to maximize handling capabilities.

the specific size doesn't matter at all in the context that I used it, you can't refute what I said, you can only minimize it with your own person anticdote saying you didn't notice a difference in your S4

You have the 2nd? I think the 2010+ look too bug like. The 1st maintain the tuner/rally aspect a bit more.

head over to mazdaspeedforums.org. read...don't post until you learn.

actually you probably shouldn't lol. get rid of all of those gay ass mods and get some real shit. I'd recommend rethinking your future mods and also putting that BPV in full recirc asap seeing as running VTA is not good for the car without proper tuning...

Also have fun running a "full racing exhaust" (i'm assuming that's a turbo back exhaust?) and FMIC without an AP or fuel pump internals. Next speed 3 to blow up...i'm betting on yours in a few months lol.

you can pm me if you want some better ideas, or keep going the way of rice.

Yeah I have a 2nd gen. It's a strange love and hate relationship. From certain angles I love the car and from others I hate it.

Lol wut? rally in a Mazda? i'm confused...

HAHA jesus dude no reason to be a douche, I was naming the big ones and not going too technical (this is a skiing forum not a car forum) and I am a member of mazda3forums.com, I know my shit so don't try and give me a lesson on cars, and I wont blow up my car either. I research everything fully and thoroughly before I make an adjustment and mod. As far as my car being a ricer, just because I blacked it out doesn't mean it's a ricer. And you must've missed the part when I said I was blocking the VTA port to make it 100% recirc, I know what it does to the car having it VTA. And it's been 50/50 for 1 day, that's it (I JUST literally installed it). And by full racing exhaust I mean downpipes, catback, etc. the FULL exhaust and racing meaning high end. When I make mods I purposefully do not go the cheap route so I avoid being a cheap ricer shitbox. I like deep noise from my cars, not high pitched rattlers.

tl;dr: Fuck you. You don't know me

For some reason I view and place the speed3 in the same group as STI, and Evo's, so in a sense rally.

Nah, the speed 3 definitely didn't contend with them. That was what the Speed6 was for. The speed 3 is like a more powerful alternative to the civic Si. It's also a 1000 times better than a civic Si

What is up your ass dude? I was just explaining what a bpv/bov does/sounds like to those who don't know what it is. And it vents even on full recirc. And I know ricers go for the CF look, but how do you know I'm not going to paint them true red like the car? So what, I painted the moldings black because I like it that way, what do you or anyone else care? Either way I see it, I still have a sick looking car that is even sicker performance-wise and not a lot of kids my age can say they have all that self made. I don't drive a car where the mods are worth more than the car itself and that, in my eyes, is a ricer car, as far as what you seem to consider a ricer, half the bmw's and audi's you see on here are too.

not really. just messed with ecu and put a CAI on since Mazda restricted air flow a fuck load in the new Speed 3's.The thing I most love about hte Speed 3's. They boost tons of turbo pressure. 15psi is pretty high for a street car I think.

You have thought about getting a bpv? The stock is completely plastic, which is why that's the first and only thing i've replaced so far under the hood. It shifts way smoother now and no sputter either with the turbosmart one. But it's pretty expensive (350)

What is a bpv? Not really sure what it is.

Oh, and please don't get Halo's on your headlights. It doesn't look good on any car but BM's. Just my opinion. I think the Speed3 looks really strange with it as well.

And with my car. I don't technically own it anymore. I moved 2 months ago to race formula and gt cars for Toyota next year and possibly Nissan in 2 years. So basically I sold the 2/3's that I owned of it to my parents. Here in October when I sign my contract with Toyota I will get 50% off of any toyota or lexus I want. I'm definitely getting a Supra or maybe a FT-86 whenever it comes out.

it recirculates the air back into the intake track or blows it off to the atmosphere from the turbo.

but that's sick dude, why not get a sweet lex instead?

Eh, only lexus i'd want is a IS350, ISF, or LFA. They don't sell the 350 here in Japan. And the ISF is just too expensive. Even with the 50% discount. Also Supra's are just sooooooo badass

About what?  Stop being such a fucking asshole to people in every car thread you touch.  Nobody gives a shit you drive for Toyota if you're a fucking dickhead about it- you just look like a spoiled prick who mommy and daddy never gave a reality check to. 

You have the potential to be a great poster as your life is pretty interesting, but jesus fucking H, get over yourself man.

I do believe he was talking about 35 inch tires, not rims, but I guess I could be wrong. I don't even think they make 35 inch rims.

And to those calling me a douche. It's the internet. I don't give a damn unless it's something like facebook or twitter. I'm really not a douche. I have many friends inside and out of the racing world that would all tell you i'm extremely humble. It's just some of the people on here are pretty stupid to me. And to me, most freeskiers are douche's. I only freeski because I think it's fun. And you got a problem with my opinions? Go cry to your mommy. Although that would be contradictory because i've been commenting on other people's opinions.

I'm done being a "douche." Only positive from here I guess.
