Had a run round with the M2 before I put the baffles back in....

Put this in the "Straight Pipe Exhaust" thread http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123836526-Straight-pipe-exhaust

Like the sound of the exhaust like this, just a little too loud for everyday & the drone at 3k :'(

Looks like OEM painted black, to me.

Yep exactly.... OEM rear spoiler new, cheap off ebay, gloss black paint job.....

Subtle changes but like the look....









Need to get the silver bits with the air vents off & change them.....

Shaun....

like that idea, and with the red piping, since ive got a blue and white colour going on was thinking of doing the inside blue. did u just pop off the handle and wrap it?

 

[cosh68]

Solidavocado.....

removed the door card & the trim is held with screws and clips....

Shaun....

 

[cosh68]

Got the bonnet (hood) lifters.....





Tried fitting them but the clash with the CS strut brace & my HID ballast's.....








Need to have a good re-think on this one.....

Shaun....

Hi mate, loving the look of your build!

Im looking to start modding my 2 soon, found FK springs which you've used, wondering what your thoughts on them are? Does the car sit level? Ride nicely? Too low? etc! They are amazing value for money thats for sure

Cheers

Nice build! Very good power increase the corksport Sri is next on the list for me. Kudos for building your exhaust also

Your M2 looking with some sweet mods....

Yea not bad figures concidering its the base model 1.3.... Got the cold air duct on now which brings the inlet air temp
down well, the home made 2" seems to be doing the job.....

The SRI with the standard 15" wheels make the car like a go-kart ;-) my 17's kill that lift but still got zoom zoom
