*Insert bad word* mazda. mazda people.

Did you ever post up pictures of it all done? I don't remember ever noticing that it was finished

No, probably not. wasn't a ton of interest around here. Troy saw it when it was still rough but driveable.
It went to a kid in FOCO that loves it so it's all good. A TT C6 should pull 600hp on stock internals so I'll drown my sorrow in burnt rubber.
I need help

"it was still rough but driveable."

"I need help"

Truer words never spoken..........


But it did look like it would have been fun to bash around in. That generation of Datsun really do look like a "mini me" version of the previous generation Corvette.

And yeah, that APS TT system is fawkin' crazy..... :thumbup:

Actually they admitted to biting the style of the FD RX7 when they designed the C5.

the APS is bonkers, 600 on stock internals seems to be common, build the motor and the skys kind of the limit. INSTANT boost too it looks like.
The STS for the C6 is just as costly as the APS so uh, I'll pass on that. Some guy reported an install time of 100 hrs on the APS though. YIKES.

So with the pattern you seem to be plagued with when building cars...... you're looking at 400+ hrs install time with 4-7 trips to the dealership for small stupid parts, and maybe a couple times mailing your ECU to have it flashed, then re-flashed, and then putting it on jackstands to let it spin the drivetrain looking for mystery noises.........

Differences this time being:
1) I'll buy a quality product
2) I'll pay someone that knows WTF they're doing to tune it

then I'll get sick of it 3 months later and sell it anyway.

Dude, cars are the LEAST of your malfunctions. :laugh2:

I found a used/new in box APS TT kit with the 3" exhaust and cats for less than the cost of a new APS kit. HAH!
