This is no ordinary Mazdaspeed.
I’ve owned this for 4 years now, garage kept, and brought back to life to be the modestly-built daily monster that it is.
I am very meticulous on detail, am the only person to have worked on this car, and sad to say, not 100% ready to let go of it.
But it is time to make way for a family. I’m not just looking for a buyer, I’m looking for someone to take care of this car the way I would take care of it. Someone that will appreciate the absolute joy that this chassis can deliver when setup properly.
I have a complete build sheet, and parts receipts, expenses, fluids, miles, everything that has ever been done for this car,
however that list will be too long for this section, so we’ll stick to the basics.

Engine:
(500whp/450lb-ft) (3,800 miles on setup) (360whp/350lb-ft Autocross setup as well, tune interchangeable in seconds)
2015 Brand New Factory Longblock (crate)
Manley Pro Platinum Pistons (long skirt)
Manley H-Beam Rods
Supertech Valve Springs
Light Port and Polish on Head
H11 Headstuds
Windage tray/baffle
Balance shaft removal
Garrett GT3076R Turbo
Intake, fmic, dp, APV3, HPFP internals, full 3″ turboback exhaust, methanol injection, etc etc etc etc

Suspension:
BC Coilovers
Whiteline Anti-lift Control arm bushings
Rear camber arms
Corksport Rear Sway bar + endlinks
Avid.1-21 18×8.5” +35 Satin black wheels
Toyo Proxes R888 245/40r18 tires (1,500 miles brand new)

Interior:
Factory, this is a rare bird. 08.5GT year model received the black alcantara and piano black trim along with the white needles in cluster. Outfitted similarly to to 09 GT.
I’ve added a fair bit of black alcantara to the vehicle’s interior.

Aesthetics:
I’ve color matched just about everything in this car, and a lot of it you won’t even be able to see.
My honest opinion is the factory body lines are best when accentuated, and not exaggerated.
Laminx Light smoke protective covers
STi204 front lip
rolled fenders

I could keep listing things out, and I’ve already listed too much.
This is a car that you need to come see, instead of spending your time wondering if it’s for you or not on an internet site.
Completely restored from it’s prior salvage title, it’s been an absolute dream for me, and at the end of the day, a small list and photos can’t tell the story.
