There isn't really much out for the 2 yet. You could go with an intake. I got the Corksport Short Ram Intake and it seems to add some pick up to the 2 and a nicer sound

Hey, if you have a good nosey around these forums theres a few mods people have done, lowering springs or coilovers if you can afford them, then theres the corksport SRI but there is an injen CAI also, then there is somebody on here who has switched the gearbox to 1 from a MK1 MZ3 1.3/1.6l with different ratios which seems to be better with the mz2 engine, then theres the exaust theres a couple of people on here who have done some good custom exhausts to get some more power and then theres also turboing your car again look around these forums 1 or 2 people have turboed their cars, there is a lot you can do with the 2 but a good chunk of it can't be bought, you got to do some custom mods, that's if your wanting to

Corksport or Injen intake
Corksport full exhaust
Corksport Light Crank Pulley
Dynotronics ecu re-flash, header, exhaust
Shoot for lighter wheels

That should get you started..........

Not aware of any cams, either aftermarket or OEM (higher performance models or other market). Too soon for any tricks with modified sensors, etc.

INJEN now makes a Cold Air intake specifically for the MAZDA 2, about $200. Apparently its good for 6 more horse and some torque improvements as well. Also MagnaFlow is planning on a full CATback exhaust. check out their website for details.

Sorry forgot to mention that the INJEN intake accepts all factory Sensors, and is tuned for the factory A/F mix so it will not throw any codes.

I added the Injen intake (part number SP6030BLK). I don't have any reason to not believe the power gains. I felt them for real. Fit and finish is amazing. Mine is black and with most oem pieces in place (except for a short throttle body elbow) its almost imperceptible. its CARB legal, its impressive. that's my two cents. and speaking of cents i bought it from Autoplicity.com for just $167.

You are an absolute moron for suggesting these. I'll give the ATE a pass, but CROSS DRILLED AND SLOTTED ROTORZZZZ OMGGGG!!!! Really?

Hi Jeremy,

Where does the Injen place the air filter? Any danger of sucking in water from puddles?

Yeah the CAI placement on other models is terrible.

He's been needlessly harsh slamming on people in other threads too.

last time i looked into the Injen CAI the placement of the intake was hella suspect, too easy to suck up water... which is why i decided to go with corksports SRI...
