    Lol he's got a thing for them as well. I think it'd be a better starting point than the mazda. The mazda has suffered from too much dodgy and half assed crap to be worth fixing and upgrading, that's my opinion anyways. End of the day its up to him and he knows I'll support whatever he wants to do :)

    Mx6 will never be sold. Not desirable because peeps don't know about them.

    Well I found some one willing to fit the ecu for 250 bucks. Properly not dodgy. Just have to check with my tuner first don't want him getting his nose out of joint and not wanting to tune it. Problem is I kind of want to fit the turbo injectors etc then get it over to him to tune. Same person could probably help me install all that.

    Sounds more like Dems tired of the clubbie not Wreath and the MX6. Never add up what the spend looks like being mate, you would never modify anything!

    Dump pipe will be going on. Then probably ecu then go from there. Will wait till I get a quote from exhaust shop first. 110 an hour. Ecu has a base tune so it should be right. Famous last words.

    Got a bloke that does auto electrical work. Rebuilt the clubbys alternator and was very happy with the price and service. He's coming into his office on Saturday to try sus out what's happening with the mazda and it's dimming light issue. Going to see if he can redo the 4ws plug and fix that bodgy relay I "fixed"

    Also going to drop the oil and move to something else as I'm not happy with the current one. Price of the new oil is one of those don't ask things but oil is one thing I tend not to cheap out on. Will be running it in the clubby to. Just a matter of waiting for some one to have stock.

    Got new front and rear bars. Need a little work and they are red but for 80 bucks I couldn't really care less. Better then the current bars on there.

    Trying to sus out a cheap intercooler. Was going to go with this super mega awesome one from America but for 300 plus yeah cbf.

    Still waiting on dump pipe and turbo. Have emailed the guy with the dump pipe who was supposed to give me a tracking number. Won't hear from him till tomorrow morning though being America.

    Also going to rip the whole aircon piping and compressor out. Looks butt ugly and is pointless. Less weight cause racecar. You can get a genuine ac delete pulley but it's still some chunky pulley. Going to get a new belt and just heman it on. Dodgy way of doing it but plenty of others doing it without issue.

    Still messy but better then piping every where.

    Also found the stock injectors are good for 250 whp. Americans run larger injectors mainly to compensate for low octane fuel it seems and to limit detonation.

    Sounds like it needs a fair bit of work. Why did you get bumpers? Are the current ones in bad condish?
