PLANS AND WISHLIST

Car is done being "majorly" modded until spring/summer, want to replace a few things over fall and winter, first on the list are 4300k HIDs and ditch my 6000k ones.

Possible plans for next season (summer).

Option 1: a little suspension and a little power
Stickier tires
310cc injectors
190lph fuel pump
Snow/Devilsown/Aquamistetc. Meth kit
Boost cut bypass
12-13psi
Result: ~225whp, and possibility for 13.5 quarters

Pros: more performance all around, im a fan of this
Cons: no huge gains in power or handling
Price expected: 400-500 for tires, 200 for fueling, 500 for meth, total around 1200

Option 2: all suspension
Full coilovers and proper alignment plus stickier tires

Pros: much more control over suspension, nicer handling
Cons: still a 13.9-14.3 car, no fun with big boys

(no homo)
Price expected: 400-500 for tires, 1000+ for coils, ~200 for alignment, total about $1600-1700

Option 3: all power
FM2 conversion including-
GT2560 turbo
manifold
downpipe
hotside IC piping
additionally: injectors, lines, etc.

Pros: big power jump, around 60-70whp
Cons: cost for ECU and availability of tuners both unreasonable
Price expected: 2500 for kit, 1200 for XEDE ecu, 2000 for hydra ecu, injectors, and other misc pieces, somewhere in the ~$5000 range

Those aren't my ideas, more-so the available options. I'm liking #1 though I may alter a few things within it if I do go that route.

wait, that little thing in the front is the intercooler? ive never looked at a mazdaspeed miata before.

garrettej8 · 06-03-2008, 01:31 PM

yeah, the IC is very tiny on the MSM. it's almost unnoticeable

pearl · 06-03-2008, 01:33 PM

wow, i guess its functional enough. cute though.

S4toSTI · 06-03-2008, 01:40 PM

Thats cool congrats. And the pics aren't too bad either.

I thought he was refering to the baby buck tooth.

What are your plans? We need a vote

CleanNeon98 · 06-03-2008, 02:30 PM

Here is one I just took on the lot. The car is going into our storage warehouse alongside the gto, carreras, crossfires, etc. Just cleaned it up too

And this is what a baby tooth looks like, there is one on each side

The car needs to get detailed, there are little scuffs on the side but they will all come out im going to have our detailer do it for me, and i dont think he will charge me since i drive him to and from work on saturdays.

lownslow95 · 06-03-2008, 02:32 PM

Nice car. Good luck with the build up on this one.

Well first I want to pay the car off...im getting it cheap but not cheap enough that I can pay it in full. My immediate cheap plans however are to get a shorty antenna (i like rice will know about this)..teh factory retractable goes higher than the roof when fully up nad just looks goofy. Next ill get my buddies to get me a Philips HID kit for my birthday, and a detail is certainly in order as well. By the time I pay it off, ill be due for some new tires so the modding will start there. Car currently sits on Proxes 4s

redline · 06-03-2008, 02:43 PM

Who do you work for and who owns the vehicle now? I might know them.

Kevin · 06-03-2008, 02:48 PM

Nice car. Don't rice it up.

TalonTsi97 · 06-03-2008, 02:52 PM

Very nice pickup, i really want one of these cars in the future and I'm saying that before even driving one.
Good luck with it, i look forward to seeing your future plans.
