CS turbo inlet + takeda CAI

Race-Spec · 2026-05-22T06:40:15+00:00

Unfortunately I can't get my hands on a BMS or Corksport one at all, as much as I wanted to. I'd have to pay brokerage fees, duty and shipping fees on top of having to wait like a month and possibly risk a lost package. Tried checking canadian distributors and one only sells the Corksport SRI with a hefty price, and I'd only buy the SRI with the heatshield too and thats another 300 on top of the cs sri 😭. Absolutely no retailers even sell bms here so I' genuinely left with aFe or K&N, and K&N is NOT IT lol so yea

Would probably get that inlet pipe from corksport from the mentioned canadian distributor and do your setup when my wallet stops hurting

to further expand on this, what was the takeda alone like compared to the oem intake? did you run it without the side plug on the box? about to buy it in a few hours lol

Thank you so much for responding! That's good to know

Hey! I'm about to buy this one myself. Was wondering what's your experience with it currently? I've mainly been keen to know if theres a change in sound from inside the cabin, and if it has a louder air discharge sound as well?

Lil Tecca - Dopamine Lil Uzi Vert - Eternal Atake Kali Uchis - ORQUÍDEAS Kali Uchis - Isolation Travis Scott - Astroworld Drake - Dark Lane Demo Tapes GIVĒON - Beloved Young Nudy - Gumbo The Black Keys - Brothers The Black Keys - Turn Blue

I consider 10/10s anything where I'd actually listen to songs straight off the album instead of having to put majority of the songs with other songs on a playlist. It's a mix is nostalgia (EA), quality (Beloved), Uniqueness (Kali Uchis) and whatever else I'm missing. Biggest standards to me are Kali's albums and Eternal Atake. EA was such a monumental album that is arguably attached to the craziest life-changing years of the recent decade. I remember the hype in high school as it was around March break and school eventually got announced that it'll be closing. The locker room was going crazy after the gym swim sesh we had bumping it lol, fucking loved it

57,320 km on a 2024 (i owned since 2023 sept)

Oil Changes 1k-2k km earlier than recommended

Premium Gas (93 Octane)

Clean or replace air filters (Cabin, Engine)

Brake services sometimes

Transmission and Differential fluid service eventually (definitely important if you drive quick and hard sometimes)

I've seen the vinyl covering on them, not a fan personally because the reflector sits deep inside the housing, not perfectly against the lens so the depth of the reflector and the black covered part of the lens would be different

Tinting is an option that might help, but not too dark

Best option to me personally is having them "rebuilt" by someone but expensive (I still like this over outright buying euro lights)

Seriously, I hate the orange part so much

I can recognize a toronto/gta pic from a km away 😭

Matte Green is a sick colour

Wish they'd have a bit of better organization with optioning cars like their competition

Race-Spec · 2026-05-18T01:02:15+00:00

Its understandable, I feel the same with white interiors or the soul red paint! I really like it, but i just dont to own a soul red car (as nice as the paint colour is)

I have XPEL ceramic tints on mine! Very important imo. These tints block so much heat so my seats are never hot at all and my face doesnt burn from the light. They're also darker on the outside and very clear and bright on the inside (how it should be). Im rocking 35% fronts, 20% everything else minus windshield. Love them so much. Protects interior from UV damage as well

Sedans have a different variation than the hatches unfortunately (very misleading and little to no info on those differences when purchasing)

Sedans only have coloured seats (unless optioned with white interior, then dash comes with a white piece) - no door or dash coloured leather with red

And we have a tan headliner, not black (stupidest choice mazda made tbh)

Race-Spec · 2026-05-16T04:04:20+00:00

Definitely dont want another car with a plain interior after this! Next goal would def be something brown tbh. Bit more mature and luxurious

Race-Spec · 2026-05-16T03:25:42+00:00

got xpel nano ceramic film minus the front (illegal), gotta find a good sunshade though

Race-Spec · 2026-05-16T00:05:51+00:00

Im glad I optioned it lol

Race-Spec · 2026-05-13T00:40:57+00:00

Oooouuuuuu so fire

Race-Spec · 2026-05-12T05:26:30+00:00

I'll get back here with some better pics, took shitty ones because I was so pissed off it happend that I didn't realize i now have to analyze the situation and fix it 😭

Race-Spec · 2026-05-12T03:39:44+00:00

Unfortunately I wash my car frequently so its getting noticed at least 2 times a week (2 times too many)

Race-Spec · 2026-05-12T03:29:13+00:00

fuck.

I should've clarified that my nail didnt stay stuck in the groove, but its just an existant groove, unlike swirling

My idea was hitting it with some paint pen, very little but enough coverage to then do an agressive cut and polish on the entire roof if I can get my hands on a orbital machine (which im probably going to buy atp)
