MS3 : Short Throw Shifter

I know I’m biased, but our new Mazdaspeed3 double adjustable short throw shifter is a work of art. Designed exclusively for the MS3’s 6-speed transmission, the shift knob height and shift throw are independently adjustable. Hats off to Dave, who led the design of this product and major kudos to all involved from concept to creation. These should be available for purchase some time next week! 100% designed and made...

Mazdaspeed3 – Time Attack video

Our Mazdaspeed3 recently competed in a NASA Time Trial event at Firebird Raceway in Arizona. This was a unique night event, which presented a unique challenge. Eric Bizek, one of our talented fabricators, was at the wheel in the video you can watch below. He did an excellent job, particularly when you consider he had never been to this track before as well as the fact that he has very...

2008 WRX – Catback Exhaust

Our catback exhaust system is now available for the 2008 WRX (5-door). Fully constructed from high grade 304 Stainless Steel, and TIG welded for amazing fit and finish. Personally, I think it sounds amazing and looks fantastic. Not too flashy as to get unwanted attention, but definitely with more of a performance look than the stock part. You hear that deep boxer exhaust note but it doesn’t start to drone...

COBB (R35) GT-R

This car is the ultimate challenge because it’s just so good from the factory… I have long been a fan of the model and have been very fortunate to have, at one time or another, owned everything from a Hakosuka and Kenmeri, to a BNR32 and on to now the R35. If you can make it out to the GT Live here in Utah, we’ve arranged with fellow GT-R enthusiasts...

GT-R (R35) High Flow Cats

The new GT-R is a hard car to improve on. Nissan has really carefully thought through nearly every aspect of the car to maximize well… everything. However in carefully inspecting it one of the areas we felt we could make some improvements on was the exhaust system. At the end of the day, the GT-R still utilizes mass manufacturing techniques in the construction of most components. While this certainly isn’t...

RX-8 AccessPORT is shipping!

After much anticipation, the AccessPORT has been released for the Mazda RX-8.Â If there is one thing the RX-8 needs, its a little more umph.Â The AccessPORT helps in that department, along with a host of other features such as fuel economy monitors, gauges to monitor your engine (such as coolant temp since the stock gauge doesn’t move until its too late), performance tests (0-60 mph, 1/4 mile) and more....

We’re starting our own in-house composite department in order to produce our own line of composite parts.

2008 STi – AccessPORT Mapping Released

Today we released our own calibrations for the 2008 STi. If you already own an AccessPORT (part# AP-SUB-003), just download the firmware update and you’ll be ready to install. If you’ve driven a 2008 STi, you’ll know how much the car desperately needs a tune. The power delivery from the stock tune is choppy and inconsistent. With the our mapping, not only do you get more power but it’s SMOOTH...

Mazdaspeed6 Intake Development

Not wanting to give all our attention to it’s little brother, the Mazdaspeed3, we decided to finish up the development of our SF Intake for the Mazdaspeed6. Honestly, the Mazdaspeed6 is a great car. It’s really a shame they didn’t sell better for Mazda and were all but given away by dealerships at the end of their production run. Anyway, I’m glad we’re able to dedicate some time to make...
