Default A little video of the build-up of my Mazda 3 all-motor drag car!

Just a little something I put together while building my car. This is the short version, I didn't want to bore you guys. Hope you like it.

Video Lenth is approx. 2 1/2 minutes

Cool car Vince, but that elevator music is seriously missing the SoCal gansta element.

I suggest some Tupac Shakir tunes will do the trick

LOL.

Vince looks good. I am guessing you are probably the first to have really built up one of those mazda3 motors, was it tough finding the power since you were kinda the pioneers whereas with honda motors a lot of things have already been figured out and pioneered already? Good luck with it

Ryan, you are one of th only people to understand that. When I got my hands on that motor, I knew it had potential, but had to exploit it. Now I have a turbo version making 1200 hp and an all-motor version making 300 whp. It's not like building a Honda where there is an over-abundance of parts. I had to make my own cam sprockets, get custom head and main studs made, custom head gasket, crank, rods, pistons, valves valve springs, retainers, cam follwer buckets, buttom shim for the valve lash, cams, etc. so, it's not like I can call someone and order a new part, but I am trying to get it there. This motor really does kick ***, once you figure it out!

Yeah, it's not the easiest thing in the world, but IMO, the rewards are worth it! Plus my fiance is a real kick in the *** and she LOVES the racing. Now that is RARE!!!!

Good stuff. I am sure there are some hardcore mazda fans that are really excited about what you're doing with the car and motor.
