My new '06 Mazdaspeed6:

I had to get new tires because the MS6 came with summer tires
so I got the whole wheel package Kazeras 18x7, +50mm offset
wrapped with Pirelli PZero Nero M&S P215/45-18. On my second set of Pirellis after 23K miles

I couldn't take the ugly rust on my rotors so I G2'd them with silver.

I decided to paint the calipers red.NJ1234's 2001 Dodge Dakota

I finally got to install my Street Unit engine mount. NJ1234's 2001 Dodge Dakota

There are the idiot tabs. NJ1234's 2001 Dodge Dakota

I also installed some cool DG Carbon Fiber Down Forcers.

 

NJ1234's 2001 Dodge Dakota


Here is the 2 Down Forcers and Stainless Steel hardware. I used 1/4 inch bolts, washers and nylon nuts.

 

NJ1234's 2001 Dodge Dakota I loosen the wheel well covers to gain access to the corner of the bumpers. Cleaned the CAI filter while I was at it.

Drilled and mounted 2 bolts and then drilled the rest of the holes with a 1/4 inch drill bit.

I got the nerve to open up my console to install my Autometer Boost gauge. Placed it in my upper map compartment so I can hide it (sleeper look). I changed my Sport II to the ES series and now the Vacuum/Boost illuminated a red LED at night.

I finally, install my HKS SSQV BOV and CP-e adaptor flange. I had to re-align the vacuum nipple from the top 12:00 o'clock to 5:00 o'clock. That was tough. Ruined most of the nuts so replaced them with M3 x .5 x 10mm socket head cap screws. You can see all the vacuum hoses for the BOV and boost gauge.

I installed a Corksport Strut bar. Nice and shiney!!!
After 1.25 yrs, I finally installed my ETS 3 inch Black powder coated Top Mount InterCooler (TMIC) with red silicone boost tubes and recirculation tube.

 

My engine bay is a little dirty but so far this is how she looks with my mods.

I finally dropped my Speed6 with Revolution Performance Motorsports (RPM) Sport Spring and Bilstein HD Shocks. Advertised drop is 3/4 inch.

I installed Redline Tuning QuickLIFT Elite Hood struts. Nice hood lift system. No more prop bar in the way:

I had a little tough time snapping the strut onto the hood bracket but I muscled it.

I switched the OE shifter weight for the reduced Cobb Shifter Weight to reduce notchiness. Not a big improvement but a litttle better.

NJ1234's 2001 Dodge Dakota

 

Installed a Modern Performance Inc reworked K04 turbo and a CP-e Vibrant catted DownPipe. Sorry the pics are not that good:

Installed CP-e Engine Management System (EMS) Standback with PnP harness, TurbineTech front differential Mount and bushings:

Finally, installed StreetUnit Silicone upper Radiator hose:

My OE battery died due carelessness. I left on the back reading light. I decided to install a 21 or 23 lb Braille  sealed battery:

Sweet ride. How do you like the hotchkis suspension? I no longer have my '93 Dakota for i totaled it sadly.... Now i have a '99 Dakota ext. cab with a 5.2 (318) V8. did you get the whole kit or just the springs and leafs for the hotchkis? Does it ride similar to stock? or is it more sporty and better handling? please fill me in im considering buying the kit.. Thanks
