Suspension Upgrades:
All of the parts for the Rear Suspension are Upgraded. The basic Three link system was remanufactured stronger while keeping the basic geometry the same. It has ZERO free play thanks to a combination of Poly-U and Stronger construction.
AWR 21.5mm rear sway bar kit (3303)
AWR trailing arms (3310).
AWR Adjustable end-links.
Custom lateral links made from solid 1.5" Aluminum bars and Poly-U Mounts
TEIN - SS
Interior:
The pillars were removed from the car and with Bondo, I was able to get the pillars down to a metal smoothness. They were painted Mazda white to match the car and 4 clear coats went on. That work was done at Terry's Collision in Pembroke Ontario (613)-735-1778. His shop does very impressive work and I would recommend his professional skills to anyone who needs the job to be perfect. With the car completely apart and easy to get at, I decided to redo the interior as well. The Radio Plate and parts of the center console were painted Gloss White and clear coated the same color as the outside of the car.
Dash Area:
The stock Speedometer is GONE. Replaced with a Racepack IQ3 module. It is totally programmable with a laptop to display exactly what you want, how you want. It works with the Haltech ECU and requires only one wire to operate. All the sensors in the car are attached to the Haltech ECU, and The Haltech sends the required info to the display.
Seats:
SPARCO TORINO, No real drama, They are just seats.
HID:
8000K HID Headlights.
Carbon Hood:
I can't stand the look of a black Carbon hood on a white car. Carbon Fiber Hood with the extractor vents is on the car but painted white , The word MAZDASPEED and 1" Near the top were left bare Carbon. .
Rims and Tires:
Enkei CDR-9 18" rims
Yokohama PARADA-SPEC2 215/35/Z18
Electrical:
Because the car has No AC, No Heater, No Stereo, and just the electrical that is required to move the car, it has a greatly reduced electrical load. I need power only to start the car and run the engine. I decided to replace the Optima Gold Top (45Lb) with a Braille Auto Lightweight (11Lb)
