Hey all, Just going to drop a line with some of the plans I have for my car, If you have any ideas or suggestions, in addition to these or just want to comment let me know :)

Engine and Drivetrain:
J-SPEC 2.0 FS-ZE intake manifold
BOSAL Ceramic coated header
ACT Street Performance Clutch Kit
CORK SPORT SS Clutch Line
Drive Shaft Shop Level 2 CV Axles
Eibach EVS Spring Kit
J-SPEC (JDM) FS-ZE Intake Camshaft
J-SPEC (JDM) FS-ZE Piston Set
MAGNECOR 10mm performance plug wires
MAP ECU

Suspension:
EIBACH Pro Kit Lowering Springs
KVR Cross-Drilled or Slotted Rotors
KVR Carbon fiber brake pads
CORK SPORT Strut Tower Bar Front and Rear

Cosmetic:
(due to the fact that I cant find many cosmetic upgrades, these are just some ideas)
Car body painted a high gloss black
Blacked out headlights, with white bulbs.
Mazdaspeed embelem replacements
all door handle fixtures removed, sanded and painted a flat black along with the spoiler and grill insert.
I havent chosen the rims yet, but I was thinking definately some gunmetal or black 17x7 inch ones.
So far the only body kit I can find produced for the car is the invader, I dont much care for the look, so might wait awhile on that. as far as the inside goes, definately black, I have a pretty decent system in it, going to mount a dvd screen where the pass. airbag is though.
(the system so far is: 2- 12 inch Digital Design Comp Class subs, in a dual bandpass Obcon box, hehe with a bulletproof housing :P and an JVC head unit, but I dont feel like going out and getting the model number, its raining haha. and two 600 watt clarion amplifiers.)

sounds like it would be a sweet setup, and definetly unique. but i would only do it if you are really into your ride, since you will never recoupe any of the money spent...;)

No, not worth it. With all the money you put into J-spec parts, you could get a lot more power. You could get some custom made high compression pistons, get the block machined and built, j-spec cams, standalone ecu, and a good exhaust and you would be haulin.

if its a car you plan on keeping then yes, its a great idea.. but you'll never get it back if you sell or trade it :) just a thought!

Yeah, I definately plan on keeping it, I have retained all of my vehicles save two that were wrecked (Infinity I30t and Lincoln Continental) I also have a 90 Honda Accord LX-I bone stock as well, I plan on fixxing that one up for my little brother.
