Yeah, I meant part that the car already comes with, meaning I will have to spend less of my money for sh*t that I want. My dealer has to Spec V in stock with all the options, ABS, side air bags, audio, alarm, sunroof, etc. for like 19,800. That is definitely a good price for the options. I wasn't impressed with the audio package though. My stock setup in my Matrix XRS sounds much better and packs more bass, or at least so it seemed. What color did you get? Do you have any mods yet? I thought that it did have a nice rumble to the exhaust, but that is the first thing I would replace. I think the dual tips looks like shat. I would also replace the big ass ugly shift knob.
maybe you didn't get the audio fanfic...
I'm not advertising the spec V, but I've heard both the mp3 sound system and mine, and they're very close...the spec v has slight better treble, but the mp3 has slightly stronger bass.
The Spec V also has the imobilizer system
haven't modded it yet...but I know of a guy who did the spec v in 14.9 seconds 1/4 mile with just swtiching his tires to Bridgestone Potenza Pole S-03s so those will probally be my frist mod...tires..
Then I'll go with Shift Knob to an RSX type S one those one are *drool* nice
Then Intake adds a nice 10 whp and about 10 lb-ft tq, Headers will do (the new ABES (sp?) header adds about 15 of each to the wheels) exhaust will add about another 10...then Motivional Coilovers, or maybe Tiens or JICs and new rims. That'll be all until I get more money...I hopefully plan to do this in a year or so...I want to make sure my engine breaks in properly, and I get to use some of the warrenty before I go and destroy it.
And before anyone flames me, NO the MSP will not be covered under warrenty if you start boosting up the turbo past I think 6.9 psi, someone else said it was like 9 psi...but that's hard to believe on the stock engine.
And I got Aztec Red

AHAH MY FRIEND has a spec v and is kickin himself in the head that he didn't fijnd out about the mazdaspeed sooner
And I'm still laughing I got a way better deal on my car, and have it NOW

And don't have to deal with the ugly orange colour

That and I have a sun roof
is it just me, or does Colin949 have nothing good to say about any other car but the MSP? It's like the MSP is his god.
Just wait til nismo gets here...hehe...I'll be making a spec v that makes 280 to the wheels, without boost

And keeping it street legal
