Ok, so this is my '07 GT S Mazda3. I am planning a full tranny, engine, and turbo swap. I have already purchased the turbo kit and tranny and will get pics up as soon as they come in. I have alot of big dreams for this car. My goal is to get 400whp, now you may laugh but I truly think that it will be done. I will post dynos when the time comes. One thing I will say is, I am not all about crazy wide body, body kits or intense paint jobs. I like to have alot of power and a clean look on the outside.
June 5 09 update: I am working on getting my new front bumper painted along with the plastic pieces under the hood. I am also working on getting all the pieces I need to pull and build my transmission. This will include double synchros on the gears, billet third and 4th gears, and adding LSD to the transmission, It will be about a $5000 tranny build out, and will be able to handle over 500hp easy. I already bought the 3rd and 4th billet gears and that ran $1700... Haha car addictions get expensive. I will be taking new pics of the car with all the mods spcifically high lighted... in particular the turbo setup.
Anothe rmod I am excited about is getting the new in dash navi, as my gauge pod will not allow for the stock pop up navigation.
****Pics with new bumper and rims... Will post more pics of these tonight along with the tranny parts =)
The swap will happen monday or tue next week!
