Post subject: | Hello from Switzerland |
Hello together, I'm from Switzerland, owning a black Mk2 Mazda 3 MPS since April now. It has ~136k Kilometers, still first Turbo, and is healthy af! I could readout the complete Service book, the only thing hat has ever been replaced, was a damper from the trunk lid. A very good sign I think. Preowner was a woman, and she obviously really looked to that car, it's in mint condition. What I've done/installed so far, is not too much: - Corksport TIP - CS SSP and Bushings (hell, that's awesome!) - CS sexy leather Gear Knob - Ford Focus ST RMM - PTFE Seals for intake manifold and throttle body - removed throttle body from water circuit - Airbox Mod (being stealth is must-have in Switzerland :/ ) - cleaned the inlet Valves and everything before that with acetone and brushes and lots of air - installed refurbished injectors (by ASNU Service, with protocoll) and the CS-like stronger seals - installed button to deactivate SWAS on demand - rear strut bar, not installed yet - got Torque pro and a fast obd2 adapter to monitor and logg what I wish to see, such a great app! What I'm looking forward to: - Autotech HPFP - FMS Downpipe with cat - maybe a bigger/upgraded turbo - DBA4000 T3 brakediscs + EBC Yellow Stuff (high acceleration demands better deceleration in my eyes) - Versatune (the reason why I found this Forum) - new 18" rims, the lighter the better, OZ Ultra Leggera may be a choice (is there other very light ones?) - and so much more I have to figure out first I'm planning to reach like 300+ hp, but no monster machine, just bit more spicy than OEM. Yet! All the best, Janis here's the little one! A few impressions from the valve cleaning/injector replacement Valves pre cleaning Valves post cleaning, a third clean cycle did follow after shooting this pic, so they were even cleaner than this image suggests dissolved and extracted dirt: dirt, blasted out with pressure air, the left partikle is nearly as big as a pea Injektor, all looked like this |

Hi Janis, You car looks nice, do you not run front plates in Switzerland? I'm needing to get my inlet valves cleaned, I read about blasting with walnut media on the MSF, so I was gonna go down that route. Are you gonna do an EGR delete now your intakes all clean? Ali |
