    I remember when I would dream about being over 300whp and now I’m at 400. My set up is very similar to this one but I run a ETS TMIC and cst4 instead. I don’t plan on adding any more power mod’s either. Just need some wider rims and trickier tires, and maybe some additional cosmetic mods but 400whp is perfect for a daily driven fwd vehicle.

    I drive a 2008 Speed3 and almost all of this is true about the 1st gen as well. Especially the stage 3 motor mounts. It might just be the tune I run, but I'm surprised with your exhaust setup you aren't getting little backfires between shifts. My car sounds like it farts every upshift lol. I dont have Cats but im only sitting at about 370whp. Looks like a great build though!

    iirc Shell Rotella had the base formula changed a couple of years ago and the guys on Mazdaspeed groups in North America are avoiding it (less protection).
    The ultimate oil 5W40 that the guys with 600+ are using also is the purple can Liqui Moly Leichtlauf 5w40. Don't go too thin or you'll zzb the sh!t out of your engine, these engines are more prone to LSPI than the new gen of GDI ones.

Currently using eneos and it seems to be doing better with less buildup on the valves. Better price too. $68 vs $52 vs $38 for 6 quarts (AMS vs LM vs ENEOS)

    All speeds are 5.5quarts. Running under 5 would be very dangerous.......and in all my years in the community I've never heard anyone reccomend 5w-20 for our cars. Manual and oem says 5-30 but most everyone runs 5-40. That being said I have also ran t6 rotella.for just over 100k and last 2 oil changes switched to eneos after having my valves cleaned.......anyways first time to the channel and enjoyed the video. Hope there's more speed videos to come!!
