I was planning on doing high compression. Don't think I'll need 13:1 but I think 11:1 would be sufficient for me. Found a nice little package deal that will add about 21hp. http://srmotorsports.com/Mazda3_Performance_Packages.html The GT2 Package would be nice with a short shifter, clutch, and...

Can anyone answer me? I know it's going to be hard to get a lot of horses out of an n/a motor, but what can i be looking at with pretty much a full rebuild and tune? I don't want to deal with spray or forced induction but I might look into it more.

Well I've been thinking about what I should do to the 3 and originally I was going to drop a speed3 motor in, but have recently decided to just go n/a(don't want to deal with a turbo). I want to do an engine overhaul pretty much. What are the n/a capabilities of the 2.3l engine? By overhaul I'm...

awesome. thanks i'm probably going to go with the xcarlink. yeah, do you have pictures of that setup hominemodi?

well I have those "protector" things on the top of the back bumper and i was wondering if they are just glued on or if they are locked into the bumper. i can't think of what they'd be called, but i just want them off! (argh) thanks

OK well I'm thinking about putting a turbo on my 3. it's a 2.3l 5 spd hatch. I am wondering what would need to be done to the motor, if anything, or if the turbo could just bolt right up with nothing? There is a guy on here who has 8.5 psi turbo on his "stock" (I think) 3. Now I am just...

well i'm going to cut my front and back emblem to make the flying m thing, and i just wanted to know what the best way to do it would be. i was just going to cut it with a hacksaw, but was wondering if there are any other easier ways. i'm trying to get it to look like somewhat this. thanks

looks like a good list. for a slight drop i'd say go 1.5 inch. i have a 2 inch drop on right now, and it looks awesome but if you have bad streets around your area go with 1.5

thanks akaveli. when will they release the cp-e standback?

i already have a 2 inch drop on it. i am going to do cold air intake then full exhaust, but that will be in a bit. wheels and tires are coming up as well. i need a new clutch as mine is pretty much shot so i figured i'd get the stage one with a flywheel while i'm at that. i'm not planning, and...

well it's summertime and i'm planning on doing some modifications to the 3. i need to start off with a stage 1 clutch for sure, and i was also going to throw in a nice light flywheel. does anybody have any recommendations for a good clutch and flywheel? i have the 2.3 and i have done nothing to...

my wheels are painted mat black and i love the look. i've gotten lots of complements about them. it's temporary of course as well until money comes in for nicer wheels. go and do it...just do it right.
