The car, as purchased in 2002 54k miles(minus the wing, Eibachs, and Mazdaspeed MS01 wheels)
It had Apex-i intakes, Trust catback, mid+down pipe, Power FC. I later added a Eibach's, Peter Farrell SMIC, Pettit power pulley, Greddy pullies, HKS BOV, 99 spec front lip, and Advan 18's.
The car made 301rwhp and 298 tq at 10psi. Had the Power FC tuned by Steve Kahn.
Pictures in chronological order.

I originally had a leak coming from the front cover on a 15k mile reman.
I was only going to fix the oil leak and put new motor mounts in but things started looking bad.
I pulled the turbos and they were absolutely trashed, huge cracks, oil coming from everywhere. I tossed them out and started looking around for something to replace the poor turbos. Meanwhile I sent the motor off to have them tear it down fix the leak and make sure everything looked good. Well.....I got a call a little later, it needed a rebuild. I was starting to see a chance for me to change nearly everything at once, not an easy task.
I wanted a fairly reliable car once I had everything done so no huge turbos for me. I am not building my car for HP. I want it to be responsive and fun to drive.
