Just wondering what kinda of inexpensive but effective upgrades i could do to my 01 mp3 as it only has 140 horses...thanks
 
buy a new car.

no just search around. theres your usual intake, header, exhaust. even though your stock with a racng beat. your not gonna gain much with basic bolt ons. turbo or a full n/a build. either way its gonna run you id say 300o grand or more to start seeing some decent power.

It will be expensive to make real power, but I dont think quite 3000 grand (=$3,000,000) lol. Intake, Header, pulleys and lightening (lighter rims, etc...) will be about as much as you're gonna get without spending some CASH. Don't bother with a new cat-back exhaust unless its just for the sound, your factory Racing Beat exhaust does just fine. And here's a link to all the how-to stickys for "free" mods. They won't get you much, but every bit counts :D

FYI, this car was made for handling, not for drag racing...

totally didnt catch that. must have been tired as hell. but hey think of the power hed get out of his mp3 with that lmao.
 
Turbo kit will get you there the cheapest. I'm lookin at maybe 115 at the wheels if I'm lucky and ive spent at least close to a grand for that little bit.
 
aiming for about 155-170 but i know 170 is pushing it if i wanted to keep it cheap

If you want 170whp, you basically have to go turbo. Just to get up to 150whp N/A is a difficult task. Read this, another member's aspirations for 150whp N/A. :D http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123736017&highlight=culridr

Now if you are saying 170bhp, that's not so bad. New pulleys, cai, header, and lose some weight, you will run a 15 sec 1/4 :D That's my goal haha.

Edit* O and get a new clutch and light flywheel, I hear the flywheel helps a lot. I'm gonna look into that down the road a bit.
 
all the parts on my setup added a nice kick to the car. until i put my mazdaspeed 3 18's on lol. there went all my oomph.
