Check it out guys. I think we had the only MP3 at the show. It was sweet as usual.



Thanks, Rishie

What do you see that's not standard? hehe. It's like Where's waldo or someshit.

Gentlemen I'm so sorry. We're still developing the site and trying to enter all these parts/descriptions into the database. It will be here within the next month I hope. Just in time for Christmas and hopefully all our darn inventory from Japan.

I pray that we don't experience strikes at the docks again. Detrimental to a primarily JDM company. Damn.

Thanks for all the compliments. I believe Sean is blushing. The MP3 is his. The Protege5 is mine. Wait til April, the whole picture will come together for our lineup of vehicles. Mazda all the way and quite a few other RWD vehicles. But all our race cars are Mazdas. hehe. Wonder why? Can anyone say Rotary and Chasis engineering. It will be fun.

Thanks, Rishie

We didn't have time to put his JIC's in, so currently he's running the factory Tokiko's and Ground Control sleeve coilover system. In our experience it has been quite comfortable in comparison to this suspension on other vehicles and struts. The GC's suit the custom valved struts quite well.

Sean actually wanted to tuck the car but we just didn't have the time.

I am working on Mintblue right now. Unfortunately they are a hard company to get discounts from. I think I may have to do a group buy or something.

Thanks, Rishie

I'll be contacting all those who have asked for Autoexe and Mintblue once I get ETA on the container leaving Japan.

What's with the little splitter in the middle/bottom of the front lip? Is that part of the autoexe front lip? I don't beleive I've ever noticed it in any pics of that front lip before. It looks smooth as hell.

It looks like they took the black splitter off the stock MP3, added the AutoExe front lip, and then put the black splitter back on below the AutoExe lip. It looks like they used some silver pieces to fill in the center where the AutoExe lip is shorter than on the edges. Looks very nice in my opinion.
