They swapped the factory inline-four for a twin-turbo 2.6 L &#8220;26B&#8221; four-rotor. The motor made 1400 hp thanks to two Garrett G40-1150 turbochargers. TCP Magic also converts the car to RWD using a Hollinger six-speed sequential transmission, custom carbon fiber driveshaft, and Winters quick-change rear end. The car rides on KW adjustable coilovers with Endless disc brakes. Mike recently added a new livery on the Mazda3 thanks to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madmike.co.nz\/blogs\/news\/mobil-1-partners-with-mad-mike-whiddett\">Mobile 1 sponsorship<\/a>.
