In this epic episode of Tactical Transformation from the legendary channel throtl, the team embarks on a mission to give back to those who have served our country. Justin, a proud member of the US Navy, is the lucky winner whose 2012 Mazda Speed 3 is about to undergo a jaw-dropping metamorphosis. From the very first moment, you can feel the excitement in the air as the team eagerly awaits the arrival of Justin and his trusty steed.
Once the Mazda Speed 3 arrives, it's clear that this transformation is going to be something truly special. The team unveils a mind-boggling array of parts from top-notch brands like Save, Smitty Built, Moroto, and more. But here's the twist: almost half of these parts aren't even made for the Mazda Speed 3! This means that the team will have to summon their inner MacGyver and get creative to make them fit. It's a challenge they're more than ready to tackle.
With the car stripped down, the team dives into the mechanical upgrades. They replace the clutch, install a lightweight flywheel, and swap out the radiator for a high-performance aluminum one. The transmission is reinstalled, and the engine receives a fresh tune-up with new spark plugs, serpentine belt, and fluids. The brakes get a much-needed upgrade, and the suspension is lifted to accommodate the bigger wheels and tires. It's a symphony of mechanical mastery.
But the transformation doesn't stop at the mechanical level. The team also works their magic on the interior, replacing the seats with custom embroidered ones and adding a stylish CorkSport steering wheel. The headlights and tail lights are upgraded, and a starlight headliner is installed, turning the car into a rolling celestial masterpiece. And let's not forget the rugged exterior additions, like rock sliders, Subaru over fenders, and a Tule roof rack system for all of Justin's off-road adventures.
When the dust settles and the final touches are complete, the result is nothing short of mind-blowing. Justin's Mazda Speed 3 has been reborn as an off-road beast, ready to conquer any terrain in its path. The transformation is a testament to the skill and dedication of the throtl team, who have once again proven that they are masters of their craft. It's an awe-inspiring episode that will leave you itching to embark on your own transformation journey.
