Amazing video, cant wait for the last iteration. Car looks sick.

[@Toxic-wv6be]

Just got a speed3 from copart, excited to fix it up and start doing stuff to it.

[@GuimardJoseph]

Dope! Goodluck with your build!

[@Gerald.69]

Just got mine- its identical to the first pic here! all Black 2012 with Bose audio package. Only had 30k on it when i found it a month ago. Took me 3 years of everyday searching to find a low mile mint example that was less than 5 hours drive one way. I absolutely love this thing. Let me know any tips or tricks/ mods/ etc that are worth doing and dont devalue or permanently change it. Im planning on babying it for life and storing it each winter so it stays minty. Love the vid man. Thanks i subbed

[@GuimardJoseph]

That's dope man! I didn't do any research when I bought this one , I just wanted one for a very long time. You should definitely join a Mazdaspeed group on facebook,, There are some toxic groups but there are some good folks out there willing to help. Definitely Get an Accessport, HPFP internals and find a Tuner to get a base map tune (Justin from FreekTune is my tuner, but you'll need patience most tuners including him will take time to respond, because of the large amount of emails they receive). To keep it reliable , it's all about maintenance - quality oil changes, light upgrades (turbo, intake, exhaust, etc.) Thanks for the comment! And I appreciate the sub 🙏🏾

[@phantograms]

Awesome work man! Keep it up.

[@GuimardJoseph]

I appreciate the comment, thanks!

[@TDKus]

Geez, that's some serious work.

[@GuimardJoseph]

And more to come 🙏🏾Thanks for the comment!

[@mattykinzisland6571]

Well I guess I'm gonna have to make one of these.. been two years since built block and cst5 now 8th poet on e!!

[@GuimardJoseph]

Do it!!

[@crue3139]

I wish I had a second car so I could take the time and replace my clutch like that. seems pretty easy on these cars.

[@GuimardJoseph]

These cars are actually very easy to work on, just sensitive lol

[@princesssolace4337]

It's intimidating but fairly easy and straight forward.

[@Dyl_Cam]

The clutch jobs on these particularly suck because you have to remove the whole engine and getting it back in is no fun

[@Highqualitydrop]

u r insane dudee

[@GuimardJoseph]

My wife tells me the same 😅

[@edennard1]

Nice build however I didn't see hpfp internals on this list, if you haven't install a set of those then I'd highly suggest that you do.

[@GuimardJoseph]

Thanks! Yea that was taken cared of - the previous owner had that installed - plus the motor I'm running with now has internals as well so I'm good 🙏🏾

[@reapertalon]

Looking sick dude! I'm thinking if buying one of these. Any tips?

[@GuimardJoseph]

Thanks bro. Do as much research as you can before modding it. Try to avoid one that's already modified (unless it's lightly modified; ie intake, catback exhaust) Compression test it before purchase - don't know how? Make friends with a mechanic that would be able to check the car with you. Join Mazdaspeed groups - some are toxic but there are some folks that would lend a helping hand. For longevity and reliability, get upgraded HPFP internals - even if you're stock!

[@reapertalon]

@@GuimardJoseph Thank you for the good tips! HAVE MY LIKE AND SUB

[@andrewadams9819]

Fucking sick, now just need a vid of some touge and highway pulls

[@alejandropazhernandez9599]

Lastima que en mi pais no tenga mercado para comprar tantas piezas. Cool Mazdaspeed

[@GuimardJoseph]

Thanks 🙏🏾

[@austinstockton9221]

So you just cut down the factory crash bar for the FMIC?

[@GuimardJoseph]

Yea, I did. But I don't recommend it lol. I advise getting a "crashbar" from JBR or Corksport if you convert to a large FMIC because it's a lot cleaner and you'll have a front tow hook mount as well.

[@sleep9526]

i like

[@qddawn]

Bro what FMIC piping are you running with the mishimoto core?

[@GuimardJoseph]

CX Racing

[@qddawn]

@@GuimardJoseph preciate it

[@GuimardJoseph]

@@qddawn no problem 🙏🏾

[@rula3801]

can that hood fit on the sedan version

[@GuimardJoseph]

No, it can't.

[@princesssolace4337]

Try Google v3Carbon. They are a Malaysian base CF design/build hud for Gen2 Mazda3 society in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Phillipines in sedan and hatch.

[@bigsam5588]

Can you list all the stuff you did. Thanks bro

[@GuimardJoseph]

Just posted them in description. Thanks for the comment 🙏🏾

[@lordmasterization]

Where'd you get the spoiler?

[@GuimardJoseph]

Spoiler is stock

[@brandon5205]

What offset were those white rims?

[@GuimardJoseph]

+8

[@RegisRealm]

How did you learn or start to do all this stuff?

[@GuimardJoseph]

KZbin + Google (forums) + Tools + having the guts to try.

[@grape00jellly]

Was it hard putting in the ACT clutch and flywheel?

[@GuimardJoseph]

Honestly, No. Once you get the transmission out, it's smooth sailing. Make sure you torque the bolts to spec tho. If you don't have a torque wrench, buy one. It was pretty easy just time consuming. Especially since I was having anxiety and working full time 🙃 😅. The HARD part was putting the transmission back on 😅 Buy a box of large ziplock bags and sharpies and label them for the bolts and some parts so you wont forget or lose them and take pictures; that will help A LOT.

[@grape00jellly]

@@GuimardJoseph damm got it! thanks.. knowing me it will take like 4 days of working on it on and off lol any difference with the ACT? Im basic bolt on ~285 so I think when the clutch goes i might consider the upgrade but idk

[@GuimardJoseph]

@@grape00jellly took me almost a week on and off, put that was also from overthinking. Definitely a difference, my opinion it was a alot smoother but im currently running the Xclutch which grips really nice.

[@erickbuendia3662]

What front mount are u running bro

[@GuimardJoseph]

Mishimoto M Line , I cut up the stock crash bar to mount it.

[@brodilla90]

What coil overs you running?

[@GuimardJoseph]

Currently Godspeed Mono-SS

[@BlurrrieMedia]

So is it a built motor? And is that an S4 or S5

[@GuimardJoseph]

Unfortunately no. Just a used motor in good condition with internal maintenance already done. It's an S4. Plan on going bigger with a built motor.

[@BlurrrieMedia]

@@GuimardJoseph it looks good man, mine actually just blew up last week, im doing a built bottom end and setting up port injection with the next setup. But the S4 is an awesome turbo, same turbo im using right now.

[@GuimardJoseph]

@@BlurrrieMedia port injection is definitely on my to-do list! I love the s4 but once you get a taste of course you gotta go for a bit more HP 😅 Thanks for the comment and good luck with your build bro!

[@BlurrrieMedia]

@@GuimardJoseph you as well man! Follow my IG id love to see the build progress.

Mine is a 12 have it since new, i have 120.000 miles is totally stock, oil changes every 3000 miles and all. Services done, bu now sometimes doesnt want ro start , or starts and shuts off immediately... We cleaned the injectors, checked maf n map sensor, new fuel n ratio sensor, chequed fuel pump resistor... Dont seem to find what's wrong.....

[@GuimardJoseph]

Checked fuses?

[@Dan-vt1qt]

@@GuimardJoseph yes sir....

[@GuimardJoseph]

@@Dan-vt1qtChecked HPFP ground? Check engine light on? Read codes?

[@princesssolace4337]

Crank + cam sensors and COP gonna be the culprit. Borrow a used parts that u know it's working normally from the nearest Speed3/6 community.
