Tribute to my bf's car: Mazda3 04 turbo(ed) - Toyota Yaris Forums

Trish · 07-29-2009, 11:07 AM

I'm pretty proud of it, even if its not mine. My bf put a lot of time on it. He first bought it in 2004, completly stock (no turbo). Than, he bought the turbo in 2006 if I'm not mistaken. Really fun to drive, pretty impressive! Good power (around 250whp) and awesome handling.

Here it is now in 2009:

Stock:
Engine size: 2L
Year: 2004
Transmission: Mtx
Millage: 80 000
115000 Then blow

....

Upgrades:
New engine (forged) 12 000
Big Boost kit
Wiseco pistons 8.1:1
Carillo rods
Cosworth rod bearings
Arp main and head studs
Hiboost billet gears
Fidenza lightweight flywheel
TWM short shifter
TWM weighted shift knob
Exedy stage II clutch
Coilover mazdaspeed
Swaybar racing beats 29mm/29.5mm
Strut omp
Exhaust Mazdaspeed 3"
Gauges: oilpress, Boost, Aem Wide band

very clean! I'm a huge hatchback fan, but the older 3 sedans are growing on me

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-29-2009, 03:25 PM

Very nice!

kustom play · 07-29-2009, 06:09 PM

eTiMaGo · 07-30-2009, 05:17 AM

quite the sleeper

My previous car was a 323F (Protege5), so I have a soft spot for Mazdas... Nice and clean with enough punch, this one.

Its kind of different sincerly! My bf is having much power than the Speed3...:dunno:

N-e-ways, the car is totally different by the handling, absolutly uncomparable.

i was wondering more about money spent on swaps and such and thinking you have a rare cool car then mazda kicks you in the nuts and says no

kind like if next year toyota made a turbo / super charged yaris from the factory

It costs about $6,000.00 (with all the piping, wireing etc.)...

Ahh, yeah, I thought it looked familiar.
I am a vendor over there, most of the stuff I sell is Mazda-related.
My biggest sellers are the Simota Carbon Fiber SRIs, I can't keep
them in stock.

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
