Roni I can't thank you and your boyfriend enough for the information.
I had the sds installed in Dec. sometime. Started out with stage 2 but it kept hitting about 14-15 psi wich is not safe for stock internals. So i went down to the stage 1 pulley kept the boost cooler and added the gts manifold. Now i'm at 8 psi. This new setup feels stronger than stage 2 with the auto tranny. I've had some problems with it also but Ripp has been great about working on anything that comes up. I'm fortunately am only about 45 minutes away from there.Originally Posted by VegasMatt
Ask the guy in the 350z i raced the other day if it moves :twisted: .0-80 i had him by about 4 car lengths. Also the swap has been done for a little over a month so there has been plenty of road testing. This is also my daily driver. My round trip to and from work is about 70 miles every day.Originally Posted by thebirdman13
Even stock header back exhaustOriginally Posted by FrankMB
Never counted the splines to see if there are the same amount but it fit and it drives so i would assume they are the same.Originally Posted by Jet Black
Wow thats really great to hear. Now are you also using stock muffler?Originally Posted by 6g72-5spd
edit: I understand its sorta a dumb question, though Ive never been a big fan of aftermarket exhausts.
Yes. As far as i know its the original muffler. The car is a 2000 and I've had it for 2 years. I know i never changed it.Originally Posted by Jet Black
WOW, that is very big suprise for me. That's really good to hear.Originally Posted by 6g72-5spd
no harm done. i'm just rough sometimes when i speak.Originally Posted by Jet Black
hopefully my car will be finished by then (doubt it but we'll see) so i can finally go.
to add some kind of info, just make it simple and make sure you ask for the axles when you order the tranny makes things a whole lot easier.

Axles, I updated the description in post #1. Make sure you specify ABS or non-ABS, they are different, and not interchangeable.
Bro don't even worry about your car. Shit at the last meet I didn't even bother washing my car when I came (and this was MOD05). I think being able to get a few pics with your itself is enough satisfaction for many of the members.Originally Posted by Cali
Is there any specific reason you didn't go with a lightweight flywheel? This is basicly the last part of the desicion making process (so far I'm following your list, except I think im going to go for the ACT2100).Originally Posted by roni
This is great, I can barely drive stick, and Im going straight to a heavy duty clutch. Im going to be doing burn outs everytime i take off from a stop sign.
BTW You got a reallly nice Mazda speed.
they don't make an act 2100 for these cars. for the 4 cyl they do, but not the 6cylOriginally Posted by Jet Black
the lightened flywheel is a lot of money, and is not really necessary for any benefit. this car is not n/a, it is supercharged, so the benefit wasn't really there because,
i was looking at it this way, either:
-pay a little more then $1000 for the quaife, and stick with a stock flywheel,
or
-pay $400 for a fidanza flywheel and wait for them to make it and send it out, and still have an open diff with a supercharged manual galant.
the choice was easy to make.
thanks for the compliment but it's not really a mazda speed. just a nice handling mazda with speed added by yours truly..
ahem...ahem Roni???? im gettin no props at all................

Roni I went over that with you. You wire up the clutch safety switch so that when its not depressed it interupts the turn on lead for the starter. Just take the lead from the starter, use 16 ga. primary wire to the clutch switch, and then back to the starter. Personally I would wire it to like a toggle switch and put it somewhere discrete so you had to physically turn it on and off, because it would also act as an anti-theft device.Originally Posted by roni

The clutch safety switch is not easily transferrable AFAIK, so be very careful not to leave your car in gear and try to start it, because it can accidentally be started without the clutch depressed. Â*I am looking into a way to fix this, but as of now, it has not been completed.</div>

yep. that's why i said i was looking into it, just said that as far as i know it's not easily transferrable, but similar to the reverse lights, there is a way to make it work..
when we were working on this, i tried and could not physically get a clutch safety switch at the time with all the other parts i ordered. i plan to obtain one new from a dealership. thanks.

That's odd, because in your pic, I see what look like headers. Definitely not the stock manifolds. Besides, from what RIPP says, the stock manifolds will cause too much heat with the SDS. So, do you mean that you have stock cat-back exhaust or did you remove the headers and put the stock manifolds back on?

I think both him and I are a little bit lost on the correct definitions of the terms. When iread his post I only thought everything past the header, while cat-back I think everything past the cat (not including the cat itself). :?
RIPP headers but everything behind that is bone stock exhaust.
I wasn't mentioning names, didn't know who would want to be bothered with questions, etc.Originally Posted by Stewi
Thank you for your advice along the way on this project Brian. Your guidance significantly influenced our confidence in attempting and finally completing this project. It took a few days to have it actually done, but took a lot longer to plan and piece together all the parts for this.
Feel free to chime in with any additional advice you may have to give to everyone.
