I am thinking about making mine "foowly sik man". As if!
I like the idea of some fender stakes, an exhaust the produces more power, and a tweak of the fuel/ignition maps. Oh yeah - a start button
But that is about it. I'm not into rice. I feel they have this car sorted really well. The power is a bit down though. I reckon am into getting an extra 50HP. Then it would be a real weapon. That would be about 27 kW extra at the treads.
Cheers,
Hymee.

I like the car!
As far as extras go I've always found that if you've got enough money to afford to pay for all that bolt on stuff, a better way to get respect is to simply stand on your wallet and look down on the crowd.....
:p

I want to convince myself that the whale sized mazda speed "wing" is a necessary gadget and jus t get one - but it would come with one of those "I'm a tosser" warnings I'm sure!
Oh, and the stock air dam

ings body kit is my new fav and you can't say it is rice as the large whole can increase the flow to the radiator and thus a cooler engine. I think

I think all the MS stuff is still the best looking bodykits out there... I'd love one of those 300 blue MS RX-8s they put out in Japan... full body kit, modded ECU and exhaust... mmmm... drool

Something I'm interested in are the rear view mirror covers in red ... opinions?
I've still got exhaust finishers, air dam (painted and ready to go) and MP3 player sitting on the floor behind me ... most everything else is fitted.
I've stopped the car over a speed bump and decided to skip the full length side skirts (shame - I loved the look). Suppose it'll end up being the full factory body kit now.
I'm concentrating on audio, until engine mods are more common.

Yeah its from www.tau-net.co.jp
But if you guys want a MazdaSpeed kit I will price one up through NZ and just pay to get it shipped over for you guys.
We can get them here now worries. I'm trying to get the full MS kit on our next one

BTW, best price I can figure so far for that kit from the US or Japan, including all shipping, etc is probably in the order of $10kAU... way too much for a few bits of plastic

INGs is an alternative. Unless you are really wanna spend... The INGs asking price (front spoiler is about $1000) plus shipping tax and paint. I think the other you can avoid tax by shipping differently
