I can't read it but judging from the pictures it's getting some decent stuff. The part that I like the most though is the seats and the gauge pod. Wheels are a nice touch too.

The new App package could've been a bit more functional too.

It looks like justs breaks, suspension, flywheel, oil cooler, and exhaust.

Nothing you cant get now. The NAV DVD software looks a bit different.

But nothing really new. Nothing that could really be called a MazdaSpeed.

Maybe MazdaLook. Its all appearance.

Not impressed at all.

My present "Mazdaspeed" body kit looks more impressive. This new "MZ" tune just looks like touch ups of the present design, as far as the body kit goes.

The only thing impressive is getting the Mazdaspeed logo.

When will it sink into the the very thick skulls of those in charge of the Mazdaspeed project that they need to come up with at least another 50HP. All the expensive "touch ups" is just plain crap.

Come out with a Mazdaspeed Supercharger upgrade kit that adds ~75HP and that would be impressive. Then they can sell all the body parts, suspension, and Mazdaspeed logos to their heart's content.

However, I have to look into this more as I think I read somewhere about a ~10HP PCM tune... maybe it was old information, so I will follow up on it. Of course the Re-Amemiya ECU Flash or the Int-X would give you that extra ~10HP too...

There is nothing different with the rims.

Yeah, that's pretty lame to label "Mazdaspeed".

The Seats are nice, but as was mentioned above to me it lowers the mazdaspeed name.

It means multi side port which is the other name for the Renesis.

You can get this from any Mazda dealer. I ordered one and if fits just fine, instructions say it's for both the MX-5 and RX-8. It includes a little 6 speed shift pattern to stick on your center console as well.
