odd, that's not what I remember the 2 being like that. not to say that you can't just do a little hacking with a 3" hole saw can't fix. is your chassis DE???

I dont mind paying for quality parts ;) My last set of Cuscos were the Zero-2Rs with custom spring rates and valving to match it for autocross.. brought me home plenty of podium finishes on the Subaru 2.5RS and a SCCA Regional Class Championship out of it. If it all works well, I would like to...

I am with you on that notion. I think it's fair to say adding 50 hp to the car is doable, but if there's already an OEM engine available to be dropped in with very little to minimum work (it would be nice to know if it just drops right in) then I rather go this route rather than force induction...

it does use the same chassis here in the US for the Fiesta that just came out.. but I'm not so sure for the motor or sourcing a Euro one though.

Odd, someone else on another thread said it was a G9?

camber plates will replace your top mounts, so when you open your hood, you should see the plate and the top of the strut stick out and all you do is loosen the set screws for the camber plates to slide it around to the desired (and marked) camber settings: Here is what it looks like for 90% of...

doesn't euro use NOC? and USA uses RON? I actually do have a set of Denso IK20s (from my WRX).. but I will have see if the threading is the same..

Im on the same train of thought as you are.. but I've been told the blue will be hitting the dealers in the middle of september. Wife likes the blue, I like the green, but either way, we'll end up getting one (I think blue will be the car to work with.. green with white or gold rims look...

too bad.. I have a set of SSR Comps in 18x8 in GOLD that I'm selling too.. but it's 5x100 with hub bore of 62mm for Subarus only.

sweet, so in theory a 2.3 could be shoe horned into the 2?? Assuming I can get get some solid engine mounts made to hold up the motor where it needs to be?

well, we are talking about OEM power.. nothing well past 280 hp at the crank. I think the OEM 5MT will hold out as long as the pressure plate is good enough to hold it all together.. it's probably the syncros that would be the first to die... not to worry, the friends at Andrewtech could...

my concern would be the engine mounts themselves along with mating the transmission to it. I can only assume that the motor itself can't be that much bigger. I was hoping that Mazda engine-to-chassis swaps are as easy as Subarus and Hondas.. wouldnt it be nice to drop in a MS3 motor in this...

is that much different than what we currently have here in the US with GT being the Touring Model (sans 16" rims vs USA 15" rims) and the Sport being "Sport" in the US? Only difference i really see is the fog lights, and the Touring model comes with a rear roof wing for exterior differences.

as much as I like to agree with you, but 2 things: 2. Cusco Zero-1 coilover comes with camber plates with their coilovers. Overmore, engineering for camber plates are doable (I have a sponsor that I've worked with in the past that have replaced OEM top hats with adjustable plates on WRXs, STi...

what's the offset on the OEM Evo rims? +45?
