Non-new member with a new car-- NNJ

[speed3guy]

I forgot my password, but my old username here was em2suprcivc. I used to drive an 05 civic...



...but due to car difficulties and wanting something better, I traded it in and now I have this...



...2008 Mazdaspeed3. While my monthly payments are a big hit to the wallet, I love this car, and I think it is well worth it. Hopefully, Ill be able to attend a few meets/shows this year. I always plan to but managing a spa/hotel can get in the way of that alot.

Nothin done to it yet. Small things will be in the works, more aesthetic/audio based for now. Performance will come eventually. Im just gonna enjoy it as it is for now, and modify it as money comes along.

Vernon.

I used to hang around the Pizza 46 get-togethers a couple years back when I was going to college in Bloomfield. Since my finish, im hard-pressed for time to get down there to just chill.

when it comes time to do performance parts the first mod that you must do is ( Fuel Pump Internals )... after that you can throw whatever you want at it...

Fuel Pump Internals
Cobb AP
Cobb SRI
Cobb TIP
JBR Rear Motor Mount
Downpipe
Cat Back Exhaust

Those Mods will put you over ( 300 WHP )

Why fuel pump internals first...your the first person who has recommended that, so Im just curious.

Welcome (back) to tst! Great upgrade! Looks like a very clean ms3!

Our cars have a Cam Driven Fuel Pumps... Once you add a Downpipe without the Fuel Pump upgrade, your car will running extremely lean which is dangerous !!!!!

The Fuel Pump is a required mod to go ( Stage 2 ) and not blow up your motor... If you do this mod first, you wont have to worry about fuel issues down the road for any bolt on you do...
