MAAAD86's dream build
 

Whats going on guys I think I have done enough to my park by now to start a build thread and share the debt and craziness with y'all!

Little background on me I am 25 years old acquired my DL when I was 18 and since then have had 20 different vehicles ranging from Honda Del Sol to a couple Jeeps to a NA to turbo 300zx Z32.

I acquired my 2013 FRS to fulfill a dream of owning the best build I've ever had with the newest car I've ever owned, I am now older and make enough money to feed my addiction and this is the journey to integrate all my acquired knowledge throughout the years and all the different lessons I learned with all the platforms I have experienced.

I purchased my car in May 2015 with 3094 miles on it. It came stock besides the Factory spoiler and TRD catback.

The Mazda 3 is my girls car and is also currently in a transformation phase including the removal and exchange of body panels and paint scheme.
I kept the car stock for the first month or so get to know it, it was also my first RWD I've had in a while so the first couple thousand miles were fun went on two cruises and joined the Arizona86 club, where I have met a whole bunch of cool dudes that have given me advice as to where get parts and all the dealio.
here are some random pictures:

After driving my car for two months stock it was obvious it needed upgrades to accommodate the aggressive driving habits I have and it needed more low as I failed the shoe test miserably with the stock wheels and tires.
I opted with springs for now as I do not need coilovers (at the moment) for my daily commute and overall use of the car, which is hauling ass everywhere without worrying about bottoming out everywhere.
I chose the Eibach Sportlines and at the same time ordered wheels and tires.

Passed the Mighty Car Mods shoe test!

The wheels I chose are Enkei Kojin in 17x9+45 I love 5 spoke wheels and the design of these are clean but simple enough (I don't like deep dish wheels)

These are only sold in matte silver or matte black neither of which color I wanted so when I got them I plasti-dipped two of them with white and before I did the other two in gold I fell in love and struggled to find a shop that would paint them matte white for me until I found Arizona Powder coat, which by the way I will be picking them up tomorrow and am super excited.
here is a picture of the two dipped wheels:

I will be installing these in Nitto's in 245/40/17 in all four corners.

Now in this time of me waiting for my new wheels my car went through minor but multiple changes in a very short period of time which included
me trying to wrap the taillights and side markers only the latter of both was successful.

At one of the AZ86 meet I meet a new member with the same color and year of cars so we decided to swap trunks after a mini photoshoot since I was planning to get a different spoiler than the stock and the holes would not match, Connor was cool enough to agree right then and there and luckily thanks to two other members we gathered enough tools to pull it off in about twenty minutes in the middle of the parking lot.

Other upgrades include the removal of the rear seat, I am currently working on a surprise that will replace the seat but for now it shall remain a secret.
I finally got my windows tinted, and a Perrin two inch antenna replaced the ridiculous long stock one that bent for my incredible top speeds when I threw a car cover on it at night.

and the best upgrade of all in my opinion and definitely attracts more attention so far is the 2008-2014 Impreza STI wing I installed with two buddies because ever since I test drove the car in 2013 I knew that wing would look awesome in this chassis and I couldn't be happier.

For now that is it if I have time I will mount the newly painted wheels and get pictures with them. I have big plans including Supercharge it and I want a Five :AD lip kit really bad before they are out since they recently stopped producing them. So much more as I plan on taking it on track days but be my daily always.

Thank you for reading subscribe for more and follow me on instagram and or snapchat @Maaad86

Those new wheels look superb in white!

That STI wing fit just fine?

That wing has me on the fence! I think i can see the potential in it but it looks very strange with out any other body modifications to bring it together.

Best of luck though, good on you for trying something different than everyone.

More pics of that ass. Both the car and the girl :bonk:
Seriously more pics of the rear of the car please? I want to see how that sti spoiler looks since the nur spec is so expensive. Also I'm excited to see what you've done with the back seat because we all know its pretty much useless haha.
Nice car bro, the gt86 is my dream build too

Cars lovely but that wing just doesn't do anything for me, looks too big for the car as it is, if you had rocketbunny/large arches and wide wheels it would look better but on the stock arches it looks too unballanced :(

Thanks man can't wait to install them now that they are powder coated

It took us a bit of measuring to fit it just right we had to cut off one of the bolts where the trunk in the frs dips down. I have a gap there that i might try to fix with fiber glass but it doesn't bother me. I love it makes me smile every time i look I the rear view mirror

Thanks man, the car is a build in progress, although i won't go rocket bunny i do plan on full set of diffusers and maybe a five axis lip kit we will see

I am more than happy to share my cars rear, my girl is just for me 😜 ok I'll get some pictures later tonight when i get home, I'm at work right now
Yeah the rear seat is coming aLong its just expensive lol

Thank you for the post my build will keep progressing how ever wide body is not on the list like every one else👍🏼

MAAAD86's dream build
 

Update on the build, I received a call from my wheels that they were ready to be picked up and they look awesome. Now I have to sell my socks so I can buy two more tires and install the new ones.

Holy fuck that looks good. :respekt: Fuck the nur spec wing lol I could use that money for a lip kit. The only thing that bothers me is the gap between the spoiler and the trunk. Also you need some side skirts and a lip in the front to balance that out. Im sure thats on your to do list anyways haha. Thanks for the pic I really like it, how much did you pay for it? Also

Thank you! I am really glad it came out this way, i am looking into how i can fill in those gags so if I find anything I'll let you know, yes i am currently sourcing the five AD kit and there is a local guy that makes the diffusers for the ft speed factory that are on the list.
For the wing I found it on craigslist for 140 bucks and the paint cost me around 50 bucks so less than 200 I reckon.

Try out fiberglsss that should work, also is the 2014 spoiler different from the 2015? I found one on eBay that comes pre painted and I'm thinking of buying it.

Yes that's what I'm thinking


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So do you know if the 2014 spoiler and 15 are any different? I'm going to order a unpainted 1 and fill in gap myself

Um i believe the 15 will be different I'd stay between 08-14 to be safe

Props for being unique on the wing. I think the overall look will be more balanced once you get wider wheels

I think you should black out the head lights (leave the hi-beam reflectors chrome) and also paint the middle bottom part of the grill black. Will make it look 10x more aggressive and the wing will flow well with the extra black parts.

Thanks man, my wheels are in my living room just need money for two more tires and baam!

Thanks, the black headlights are part of my to do list just waiting to order some halo rings, i am planning on getting the Five AD lip kit before they disappear from warehouses


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another prospect buyer tomorrow hopefully I'll have my wheels on and this one doesn't bail, his from the forum and not craigslist so I have more faith in him lol


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hell yeah can't wait to see your build come through. When your car becomes viral on the internet I'm pretty sure you'll receive a ton of hate cause people are scared of being different. But as long as you're happy with it man.

They aren't disappearing a company just bought them out and is now making them under their own brand.

Thank, I apreciate it pictures coming right up.
And exactly my point its my car my build my choice, granted if I was rolling on 20s thats something else hahah

Thats awesome because i love that kit, thank you!

And finally sold my wheels and my car is almost ready for 86fest. AT least the first part of my build, I've only had it for less than three months it's come together quite nicely.

Better pictures to come when the sun comes out

Nice it looks better with the wider wheels. The spoiler flows better too! I take back what I said about the lip kit. You'll be fine without it! Very nice car bro, some blacked out headlights would really set it off

Thanks man, I think for now I'll take a pause and pay off all this parts I'm really happy with it so far, once my credit cards are paid off I'll buy more car parts lol

So I decided to put an Ipad on my dashboard , since Ive always wanted one on my here are a few pics ill post more details a little later with what was needed to do so, I think it looks clean what do yall think?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think it's too low.

I'm not that tall myself it's actually really good for my driving position and AZ it gets pretty hot so that was considered

This is what my dash looks like now, if anyone wants to donate or sell me their stock gps unit either subaru or scion Im open to entertain offers, I believe it would look cleaner with two screens rather than the out dated looking scion HU.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

LOL I love this.

my only question is how do you access the ipad with it being that low?

For me at least, its not low at all I guess it depends on your driving position but its perfect to skip songs as your shifting 👌🏼
