I really dig those white wheels. I think they would look pretty good on black. Definitely different if nothing else. If you ever want to trade for some stockers or maybe sell them let me know.

Vulture! Haha most of the performance parts from the RR will be going on the WW... Including the tial :-)

You'd have to get tuned for SD to run it though, if you already aren't.

As for the JDM tails... No thanks. Only JDM part I really like is the bumper lol.

speaking of SD. what is Speed Density? what does someone need to run a sd set up?

im looking for threads/info about this here but never found a good reference yet.... i know in order to run sd setup, the stock maf will need to be taken out. thats all i know about it.

way off topic: WW is a harder color to keep clean.... sorry!

SD: i've done some of my own research but have also found more vague info... "Drivability is increased", "less hickups", "better partial throttle control"....

well right now I get surges, hickups and partial throttle control is garbage!!!!!! I loved how the Mazdaspeed3 was almost NA in the way you could feather the throttle and HATE how the evo is either 100% throttle or 0% throttle, anything inbetween yields "interesting" results and or surges/hickups.....

I have the Works throttle body and though responsive, I would certainly not describe it as all or nothing.

Mine (WW) is perfectly drivable at all throttle levels.... The only exception to that was my RR, which had major surge issues (easily hit 20psi even at half throttle), which could have been solved via ECU based boost control with a more accurate OE style boost controller.

@ Josel

SD - Speed density

I don't know all of the specifics, but the ECM adjusts fueling, timing, and ignition based off of intake manifold pressure with the MAP (in most of us SD guys, an Omni 4 bar) sensor instead of using the mass airflow sensor.

It removes any possible flow restriction that the intake pre-turbo can cause, because you essentially can run open turbo with no filters or anything if you want, of course not recommended.

And as for my comment about you not being able to use the Tial until you go SD, you can VTA with SD because the air vented by the BOV is not metered, thus not effecting drivability at all.

@ Ryan

I think it makes drivability overall better because all fueling is based off of the air in the IM, so unless there is a leak in the IM to head area, drivability will be as perfect as your tune. MAF cars can have drivability issues if they have any sort of leak in the system pre-IM.

All of this is just from my understanding, and is in no way complete lol.
