ok. new update.
The body kit they have is similar to the mazdaspeed kit. The fitment on the front bumper is very good. The other parts haven't gone on their car yet.
For the ECU the're working on a "black box", and the're also going to give the greddy e-manage a shot.
The guy I talked to said that when they modified their car they got next to no aditional power out of it. According to them the ECU is compensating for the extra airflow by adding fuel and/or pulling timing, just like the Lancer EVO. It's also doing this on the dyno even if the rear ABS sensors are pulled. Instead of "Hey. The rear wheels are spinning, but the fronts aren't. I'll add fuel and pull timing." It's "Holy S^*&, he's revving the hell out of the engine when the car's not moving. I'll add fuel and pull timing!" This is why the dyno numbers seem way too low. The "black box" I refered to above is something the're playing with to help unlock the real potential in the mods for the car.
THe most interesting thing they told me today is that mazda is sending them a car to heavily modify, and then it will be sold through mazda dealerships with an approximately $10,000 markup. Similar in idea to their Banzai RX7's.
Umm......that's about it really. Their supercharger is kinda on hold till they get the ECU under control, but the've got all the plumbing done pretty much.
Thank you. That is all.

3 rotor renisis
I was looking at the outer housing, front and back. If done rite they could be mated at the same clearence of the 3 rotor housing with the 20b crank. Any critisism or ideas would help. Ive been talking with Cam about it, many projects and not enough time. Im looking for extra parts to start, but Im not promissing anything to the public yet. IF YOU BUILD THEY WILL COME

Their trying the Greddy E-Manage...Good god, did they not learn anything for our pain.
I remember seeing their car 2 years ago here for Sevenstock. Seemed to drive OK then, I would hope they have gotten the ECU issues all worked out by now. Oh well, rather them get it right, then getting it out fast.
