    Default Twinnos FD Journal

    Just thought i would post a journal in the life of a FD owner. I encourage every mazda to do the same. this is more for me than anything, just to have a reference point to go back to.

    Wed May 3rd: Just got back from a week long cruise in the bahamas (much needed) took the FD out today since the trooper was in the shop for warranty work. Felt good being in the car again, heard a flubber type noise after i would spool up. checked with my mechanic and its probably a hose came undone. Witnessed a turbo'ed VW spank a modded Accord on the way home. I dropped into 3rd to get the bov going as i passed the VW. at the light he pulled up and asked some questions and told me i should come out the BP on pleasant hill on saturdays. told him i will see him around.

    Wed May 09. 2006:

    On the way home from work in the trooper. Tired. A long day at the office will do that to you. Had alot to think about between hitting the brakes in pleasant hill traffic every 10 seconds. "What am I doing? I already got 2 magazine features, several mag shots and over a dozen sponsors from my previous car, do i really need to take on this FD project?" ...............peeped a black infiniti g35 kitted up and deep dished. Reality set back in, woke up from my previous thought.
