@@AdamLorenzoRasp what I like is the plastic on the front grill has kind of like a rib bone pattern, at 1:29 you can kinda see what I mean, it’s hard to describe
@@razrr8484 it may be because I removed all the plastic cladding behind the grill that is there from the factory. I had to do this to make my front mount intercooler fit behind the bumper. It also allowed for more airflow to the intercooler. Maybe that's what you're talking about?
Hey ive been wantig one of these for a minute, I was wondering how's the reliabilty been for you. I see a lot on the used market that are high milage and some with rebuilt engines.
Reliability for me has been great, although these cars do have their corks and things that are known that go bad that have to be replaced or should be replaced at a certain milage. My turbo did go bad at like 50k miles but was replaced for free by the Mazda dealer as it was still under warranty. That’s the only big problem I have had with the car. They are super fun and very unique cars, if you plan on buying definitely make sure the car was taken care of and the person your buying from knows all the details about the car.
It was supposed to be a purple but comes out more pinkish on camera, but it was just the bulbs however my fogs don’t work at the moment, I need a new harness. Also depending on where you live, the colored lights are illegal, I ran the purple fogs for like a year in my town, never got bothered. But then out of no where I got pulled over for them and was told I can’t have those lol
I got them from Graveyard Performance www.graveyardperformance.com/products/ngk-1-step-colder-iridium-spark-plug-mazdaspeed-focus-rs-st-ecoboost-mustang?_pos=2&_sid=a1d3afd47&_ss=r&variant=12143431221284 The question of if you should get a tune for them, I only got them because my tuner Freek Tune recommends them for people who are pretty far from stock. If you have a stock car stick with stock plugs. If you are pretty well modded you should get them and then get a pro-tune for all your parts. I do not recommend running the off-the-shelf maps from cobb for a long time! Hope this helped:)
@@AdamLorenzoRasp my car is modded and has custom tune haven't change my spark plug since i bought it almost 6yrs now i dont know what kind of sparkplug fit for my car or im thinking to contact my tuner..
@@wenzyglife6549 yeah I would recommend reaching out to your tuner, or just stick the the same plugs you have now, definitely change those plugs though lol if it has been 6 years
@@AdamLorenzoRasp lol yeah its been 6years do you know whats the oem spark plugs i can find bc i dont want to go to the dealership trying to rob my money there..lol And if i installed the new sparkplugs do i need gap and whats the gap for the oem..thank you for answering my question
That I’m not really sure on either, you can find that stuff out on a speed forum or possibly just google, sorry I couldn’t be more help there, but definitely ask your tuner if you should to one step colder plugs, and get those old ones out asap
Only in America that mudflaps u stick on a hot hatch. Once u got stick on your hot - hatch , everything else that u said ugly doesn't matter bcoz the mudflaps itself on a road going , daily hot hatch is the top of the ugly list.
I had to read this comment about 10 times to decipher what in the world you were saying😂 sounds like an insult, but hey I like the mudflaps and they protect the car, and others cars. So 🤷🏼♂️ thanks for the comment though lol 😂
@@AdamLorenzoRasp Noticed why people in Asia/Europe don't put mud flaps on all their lowered cars? Don't believe me, u can look it up. See if any cars outside of US in car meet on YT/Google put on the mud flaps. We are talking about a country that their car culture were exposed to WRC/Grp B cars since the 80s and no one put it on their cars unless its a pick up truck or lorry. U Americans just do it bcoz u are used to seeing pick up trucks that was part of your culture untill its subconscious for u to put it on. It is fcukin ugly on a hot hatch unless u are going rallying. Americans only recently been introduced/exposed to hot hatch in the consumer market. Trucks and big v8 are American car culture. It's not gonna throw any big chunk of rocks bcoz your street tires got small grooves that doesn't trap chunky rocks in between treads, plus the car is very low to the ground, its not gonna throw rocks like u are driving a lifted 4x4 with chunky threads on a Midwest trail🤣 ... it is dumb when 99% of the time u a driving on paved roads/highways. Its not protecting anything. U just copied and paste what your daddy said about it when u were in pre-school. It's not an insult, it's a fact ... Its been programmed into your subconscious. Its just another dumb American culture that everyone outside of North America are making fun bcoz it cud also be u on a Yamaha R1 and you'll remove/delete the rear mudguards bcoz u want it to look like MoroGP .... my point is, it can be the same guy putting mud flaps on a Speed3, Evo and all the protection went out the window when deleting his mudguard on his superbike. See the bias BS there? Wrap are pain in the ass to remove it and most of the time it will damage the clear coat when it's been stuck for too long and might end up doing a clear coat anyway. That's why it needs to be in the bin unless it's a race car or a delivery truck😁
Hey Adam, The hood scoop is ours. Now you know!
I appreciate that! I bought it used and the guy could not remember lol
Beautiful speed. Wish mine was this clean.
Thank you truly appreciate it! The car has come a long way, and still has things that need and I want to get done. You have a gen 2 or?
@@AdamLorenzoRasp yep, 2013 speed tech also pearl white. Need some body work but looks good 10 ft away haha
Nice! White speeds are the cleanest in my mind!💪🏼 mine needs some work too, I have some hail damage on my roof smh 🤦♂️
Hey I really like the front grill you have! Do you know if it came stock or did you change it?
What do you like about it ? I also like it but it’s a stock gen 2 grill

I have a 2005 Mazda 3 s 2.3 hatch tryna get it looking this good one day
Thanks, man! Shes definitely not the prettiest in person lol. On video, it looks great lol! Just takes time and money!
The Color of the fog lights are a light pink? Excuse me if I got the Color wrong, but is that a bulb replacement done there or did you Color the lens?

@@AdamLorenzoRasp you wont yave those issues in AZ lol people runs all kind of lights beside emergency ones. Even underglow is legal here.
@@kenjimamcfree7919 dang really? I’m in Illinois so unfortunately we don’t have that luxury lol 😂
@@AdamLorenzoRasp yeah, im also from the midwest. When i moved to AZ it was mind blowing that its legal or cops just dont care.
Bros voice sounds like im on mushrooms i dont know how to explain it
I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, not having done shrooms myself lol 😂
Super clean 🔥🔥
Thank you! 🙏🏼 really appreciate that! Got more to do!
Question where did you get your spark plug and when you change it do you need to retune it?
