Be careful not to get too wide diameter piping. Not sure of the GT vs GTS MAF in australia. But if the GT != GTS then youll prolly run into hesitation problems with wide diameter pipe.
Also for the KL-ZE you realise you will need to get rear discs right?

The KL-ZE will happen in the next few years (I'm still saving haha), but I plan on converting to rear discs in the future anyway - I was just going to buy a wrecked 1.8, and pull off the brakes from that then fit them to my car

Its just a tad awkward when you walk out to wash your car, and you are presented with a huge, motherf'ing massive spider....
![]() Ahh well, the pressure cleaner took care of him ![]() Finally bought all of my supplies for my CAI install, just have to find the time to put it all together I guess! (shouldn't take long, but uni homework is screwing with my head) Damn Mazda, moulding the MAF to the stock airbox... so now I have to make a bracket for the MAF to sit on the aluminium pipe I have.

![]() How hard would the conversion be though, keeping in mind the car has a 4 stud pattern at the moment, and the later model Mazda's have 5 stud pattern.

So it turns out I don't actually have to fork out the money for new mirrors! (I'll be replacing the left hand side one later on)
I spent my day off uni sanding, buffing and waxing the mirrors, to try and get a more respectable finish rather than frost-bitten, disgusting looking mirrors. It worked a treat ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() SRI is now a WIP, may take a little while to develop as I have to make brackets here and there, for the MAF as well as a bracket to hold the piping in place.

SRI (or you could consider it a WAI) is complete! I tried to be creative on this one, made from a piece of pipe I drilled out a hole for the MAF and siliconed around the hole as well to provide an air-tight seal between the MAF and the pipe. I then bolted a pod to it, and hey presto, you have your new intake!
Throttle response was increased greatly, no hesitation either, and more importantly, no CEL ![]() ![]()

It's legal in SA as long the pod filter is secure and doesn't move around

I agree
![]() It has to be secured (I'm knocking up a bracket as I speak), and I'm also getting an enclosure for it soon (mainly it has to be secured though) EDIT: Beaten to it ![]()
