Hahaha, Shauni said: house money > car money... I can't see the logic in this response.

But once I have the house under control I can start diverting money back into the Mazda.

Coles Petrol Forrestfield has just updated all their tanks in the last month and I was told that E85 was going to be installed or at least was being considered there. Will let you know if its there. I pass it everyday going to work.

350hp through front wheels... Time to upgrade front diff to get all the power down/turn a corner properly?

A mate's RenaultSport Megan with less power than that was spinning inside r-comps out of turns (not much mind you); I can only imagine what street tyres would be like!

The OEM Diff is actually very good. MSF guys have upgraded to aftermarket items and had limited gains.

It locks very well and the only let down is the Steering Wheel sensor which limits boost after a certain steering angle is reached, causing the car to be jerky and break traction very east out of corners due to the fact I cannot get power down smoothly.

So it is the software not the hardware letting it down. Is was causing my corner exit speeds at the last track day to be less desirable and it was spinning both wheels up going from limited boost to full boost instantly... So effectively being pain in my ass.

Hard to explain, but I have disabled that and I will be reinstalling the boost per gear limiting with the COBB. This mated with better tyres next round should make it more manageable with extra power

I am not going to kid myself in saying it will be a blistering circuit car, but it will be fun at the track/strip, quick on a roll-on, a nice daily driver and a pretty decent sleeper.

Also somewhere in amongst all this I will have to organise a new brake setup. Perhaps just beastly pad/disc or Big Brakes to slow her down.

New wheels for Dan?, well maybe not, but then again.

That colour sceme is awesome.

It works well in white, not sure if it would in silver/grey.

The silver might not work with that color, not to mention the cleaning schedule needed for that colour wheel!

No real need for new wheels, I can always go up to a 245/40/18 if I need a touch wider profile.


I have seen these wheels (17x9), not a fan of the stanced look, but the rims in gunmetal would look nice.
