Hi there. I need your help on a lot of issues...

1. Anybody know the size of the brake rotors for the 2007-> mazda2? (and if you found someone who's making rotors for the new2) The inside bore diameter should be 54,1mm (I haven't checked yet), diameter of the disk is 258mm, 4x100 bolt arrangement, but I still didn't find any compatible replacement disk. Maybe a larger diameter brake disk wouldn't pose a problem?!?
1.1. and if the brake pads from the DY work on the DE... or what company makes brake pads for the new2...
3. I'm waiting for the lower springs to come, so my search for coilovers is, well... over, nobody makes coilovers for the new2.
3. Do you have any idea if I (an amateur) can take the plastic cover off of the engine and find the intake body outer diameter to fit silicone hoses and a carbon dynamic airbox plus aluminium hose to the lower part of the front grill?
4. Anybody know where I can find the hot gas return hose from the valve cover to the intake body? I wanna fit an oil catch tank...
5. I guess a shortshifter is out of the question, no?
6. Anybody found a lightened flywheel maybe? (I know, don't shoot, I'm just saying...)
7. Any info on rear axel brake disk conversion for the new mazda2? It has drums now, they work fine, just need to know if it's possible.

P.S. - have a look here... http://search1.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/search/auc?p=%A5%C7%A5%DF%A5%AA+DE&auccat=26318
It seems they got coilovers for the new2... don't want them anymore :)

Hi folks, first post on the forum. Wondering how you got on with the search for upgraded brake rotors. I have the new Mazda2 ts2 1.3 in black (my wife has one in red and my dad metallic blue!!). I think this model would benefit from better front brake discs/pads combination, but like yourself, have found no one doing them for the DE yet. Any luck yet? Cheers

No, no news from me, except fitting a BMC DIA 70-130 air filter, I kinda went for the solution VDS Racing (Greece) chose and tested (showcased here on the forum)
