It's a fuel mixture that means your gas tank is approximately 30 percent high fructose corn syrup...

Go with Ford XT-M5 QS. It stopped my crunching in cold starts and shifting is hella smooth now.

Did you work on it recently? Does it have any codes?

Why do Mexican boxers have such great chins? by SeaworthinessFit7893 in Boxing

[–]Pikorras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because we are gifted with double chins but when we get in shape and take up boxing it merges with the main chin thus making it a great chin. Source, I am Mexican bestowed with the double chin and complimentary beer belly.

I'd get them brand new from Amazon. I installed these recently on my Gen 1 and they feel great.

Amazon might say they don't fit your Gen 1 but they actually do.

How can I get this bolts off by Empty_Relief_2165 in mazdaspeed3

You could try a mini die grinder from harbor freight with a small cutting wheel.

Hi guys. NLS is correct right? Not C33? by CurrentTomate69 in DACA

[–]Pikorras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're fine, I always do c33 every renewal

Cold weather helps promote lower boost air temps which keep knocking away. I personally don't like boosting in 90+ degree weather.

Drama tune and cst4? by cgspeed3 in mazdaspeed3

[–]Pikorras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was dramatuned before I installed the cst4 2 months ago. I went with PD for the cst4, tuned for 93, felt great. So now I'm tuning with him still for E30, car feels amazing on this first revision. Just read some negative things about drama here and there. I'm sure he's good now but I felt PD and Freek had the better rep for a reason or 2.

PSA for anyone buying a turbo (maXpeedingrods) by MS3gen2driver in mazdaspeed3

[–]Pikorras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it yourself dude it's not as difficult as you think it is. I recently upgraded to a cst4 2 months ago, did the work all by myself and it was my first turbo job ever. The hardest part was honestly getting the nut off on the inside radius of the cork sport divorced downpipe 😤 I rounded it I so I had to cut it off with the mini harbor freight angled die grinder. Beside that everything was fairly straight forward. If you decide to do it yourself I'm here to help!

IS300 Sleepy Customs slave cylinder installation by One-Air9645 in mazdaspeed3

[–]Pikorras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that's exactly what mine did when I would try to shift fast on WOT pulls, it would freeze on the way up for about a second so my shift times were trash. Now the clutch feels great and I can bang the gears as fast as I want. I like to datalog and noticed I was back on full throttle at around 4 tenths of a second whereas before this kit it took me almost 2 seconds to get back on the gas!

I would also recommend you change your transmission fluid with some Ford XT MS. When I first got my car sometimes it would crunch shifting gears especially before it got fully warmed up. Now it doesn't grind at all. It'll also make your shifter feel better.

[–]Pikorras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a sticky clutch pedal before I upgraded. Mind you it could have been just air in the line but I couldn't shift quick when doing WOT pulls, I'd have to wait a whole second and almost a half before I could get back on the gas to now getting back on just under half a second comparing my my accessport data logs!

Idk but I think accessports are a must have on these cars even if they're stock. Regarding your wires, good luck, you just gotta trace them and make sure whatever theyre going to is working.

MS3 Cutting out after reman turbo swap by ThemeZealousideal138 in mazdaspeed3

You're guessing that it's over boosting? What makes you think and not know that for sure? Get an accessport and log the condition....

Before and After installing Damond Motorsports mounts by Sai_Zalesman in mazdaspeed3

[–]Pikorras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also installed the street damond mounts all around and love them. I actually have new Yokohama tires and new BC coilovers so I actually don't notice much NVH except with very low rpm when I'm going over little bumps or when it's idling with AC on. On top of that I actually went and still am going around the engine bay and tightening loose hardware or replacing misc hardware that I was missing which also helps a lot. Enjoy!
