New wheels and tires, feel wayyy better than the old boat anchors on there.
Now I need brakes, mine are ugly and you can see them now.

I bought a Speed6 and am selling my Speed3, am I still allowed in Mazdaspeed hot hatch chat? Also seconding that BK hatches are great, I will definitely miss mine. Excited to do some mods on the 6 though, going to swap my turbo and intercooler over at some point, I'm putting my 3 back to stock engine wise. the 6 has 133k, was garage kept and is stock. For now.

I fully acknowledge I'm boring and old but leave it stock :( they're becoming so rare especially in that condition.

My main issue is k04 is gunna k04, its already consuming some oil through the turbo and I have a CST4 on hand, a mild upgrade that fixes the turbo seal issues. Im not planning on running high boost or anything, very mild tune to smooth out the power band so the power doesn't just fall off at 5.5k, with a more reliable turbo. Also, it needs more tire than the stock 215 on a 3600lb car. My plans consist of bilsteins, nice pads and rotors with steel lines, rear diff brace and the aforementioned turbo and tmic plus the hpfp. Going for an OEM + thing, truly dont want to ruin it.
