I went out specifically looking for a clean FC to shoot and couldn’t have found the better candidate. Rob has one of the cleanest most oem looking FC you’ll ever see with a touch of moderness. He is a huge FC fan and this isn’t the first one he has built but definately the one he will not let go. If we can get Rotaryfest going this year we can see more of this car and other sweet Mazdas.

MOD LIST

car is a 1988 ( s4 ) with S5 bumpers, mirrors, TIE skirts, and S5 coupe taillights and turn signals all custom tinted. Corksport Odura front lip. I have owned it since 1994-1995, used to daily drive it, I repainted the car 10 years ago.

Has full TII drivetrain swap, I had the transmission and rear end rebuilt before it was installed.
Engine is a combination of parts. It has S5 irons and housings, S4 front cover with a mechanical OMP that injects 2 stroke oil from a remote reservoir using linkage off the throttle body. S6 ( FD ) rotating assembly, new oil pump.
Ribbed belt custom conversion and car retains air conditioning that consists of a FD compressor mounted on a PS delete custom modified bracket, also ribbed belt. FD alternator.
Engine is street ported, engine and drivetrain was installed and without the help of RX-Parts.com, Roan, Steve, Marley, and Chris it could not have happened. Speed Tek handled the exhaust from the wrapped Himni downpipe to the Racing Beat REV II exhaust. Custom carbon kevlar clutch with a modified ACT pressure plate, Racing Beat 12lb flywheel, clutch hydraulics are all new with along with stainless line

Turbo is Garrett TO4B on a HKS manifold and wastegate, BOV is greddy. I caught a lot of crap for going with a small turbo but with supporting fuel mods consisting of a new Supra TT fuel pump feeding 850 primary and 1680 secondary injectors on a KG Parts fuel rail and Aeromotive FPR it put down exactly 400hp on the dyno. Intercooler is the Greddy kit, radiator is Koyo, Taurus electric fan controlled by the ECU.
MSD  and M&W igniters improve the stock coils and engine management is a Wolf V500 meticulously tuned by Waynespeed with a new wiring harness.

Seats are 209 Mazdaspeed 3 seats with custom Wedge rails, custom mats and black carpet conversion, custom gauge pods house Autometer and Blitz gauges, shiftlight is from Raptor Performance also controlled by the Wolf. Stereo is Sony, JL woofer in the trunk, sony amp, and Polk speakers. Steering wheel is a jspec Momo, no adaptors needed. Voodoo shift knob custom drilled and tapped, Redline custom leather shift and brake boots.

Wheels are 18″ BBS RS-GTs wrapped in Bridgestone Potenzas 225 front and 255 rear, KYB AGXs shocks and Racing Beat coupe springs, Racing Beat DTSS eliminators and rear camber adjusters, Powerslot rotors and Hawk pads, entire hydraulic system is all new along with stainless lines.

The goal with the car was to have it run, look, and perform as if, or better, then it would have come from the factory and it succeeded. Plans this winter are mild, going to swap out the UIM and change some of the IC piping and perhaps swap injectors and fuel pump to retune the car to run on E85 which should give a 10% increase in power and run cleaner, the wolf has the ability to switch maps with the flick of a toggle switch so it will be able to run on E85 or regular gas.
