I have learned the hard way on a lot of issues. Including cars. and like i said before, i didnt drop my car when i worked here. I did the intake while I worked here but that was cuz I was bored and they haven't come out with an intake until May 1st. And even if I am selling it. that doesnt mean I can't have fun and mod it while I have it.idrivemazda said:

i think it looks nice...
with that said, you CAN cut your springs CORRECTLY if you know what you're doing.. Unfortunately everyone jumps on the "cutting your springs is terrible" bandwagon since they know absolutely jack about advanced suspension tuning.. Not claiming I do but I've seen cases where it benefits the vehicle..
Completely different breed, but Fiero owners cut their springs all the time. Sure, there are springs out there for the cars, but to get the best handling you will have to cut the springs.. One guy cut his, added KYB shocks and poly bushings all over, and his car pulls 1.17G on the skidpad now.. Can't argue with that.. If you want to, you can argue with the fact that Carrol Shelby signed the dash of his car and basically told him that the car was awesome.
Obviously, just cutting them for the look isn't the correct way to do it but if it's just temporary, then oh well..
Congrats on being a pioneer. When the good stuff comes out, jump on that.

Pioneer My Ass! (jerkit)
I'm sorry man, I'm normally not negative when it comes to people and what they do but for some reason I feel the need to express that you are a dangerous person and I think that your talents are misguided.
Sticking on an air filter and cutting the springs is like saying that a painted valve cover is a mod, or that removing the weatherstriping to allow better ventilation in the engine compartment is a Mod, or...Ummm Mazdaspeed shoulder pads is a Mod..
I'm glad that you are pleased with your new car and it's low ride...But really weak man.

Like I say, I'm really trying hard to be positive about this thread...tonkabui said:
The stock intake was better than that thing.(poke)
brian, breathe... have a chocolate. they're swiss.
inhale deeply, then exhale while saying "my p5 makes me happy, my p5 makes me happy..." see how many times you can say "my p5 makes me happy" before you run out of breath.
see? all better. positive vibes abound!

as ugly as fctory rimz are nowadays-those sure look good with the drop in effect.
and id be pretty damn pissed if someone who brought a ugly-ass set of heavy chrome rimz that make his car look like a 4x4 said s*** to me about anything i did to my car.
but thats not what this threads about now is it.
looks badass bro

HA! Good One(boom07)Iconoclast said:
I think your little 2.0L is jealous of the 2.3 DOHC VVT? Don't hate it cuz you ain't it bro. No one said anything to you, or about your car until now...First of all, they are right.. no one has even bothered to make an intake for the 3 yet.. why not try now? havent seen a dropped one yet.. why not do it myself? All these people who talk about what they would do to their car... well I did it. May not have been the professional way. but I sure did pull it off. And all you retarded people who say im going to cause a wreck and lose control.. get a grip on reality. Cutting your springs doesnt make your car blow up or swerve dangerously out of control You guys are over dramatic. If anyone wants to talk cars with me, do it in a manner of maturity and calmness, not like a little 5 year old. And sorry, by the way that canister is the silencer to the intake, I actually plugged it off after that picture and its twice as loud. Sounds awesome. Can't wait to hear the V2 on my car.Brian MP5T said:

Oh Great, Not another one...vividmaz3 said:
I am drawing on experience that I have seen first hand. A person I know where I live Jayson, cut the springs on his Neon for a one inch drop and the ******* thing lost control right in front of me, on a slight bend to the right at 80 Km/h. The body Roll was the cause and now he is in a Wheel Chair... So you can understand that I have a pertty Unique perspective on this entire thread. DO NOT DUPLICATE THIS MOD!!! IT IS DUMB!!
You made it out to seem like noone else was worried about dropping the 3. Believe me, when Tein or some other company makes kits for it, someone will be very rich. It's hard to believe that you are still sticking to your guns that cutting the springs is safe or something that should be done (crazy) . Although it is lowered...normally "Performance Mods" are supposed to improve performace. It seems like you were bored one day and decided to break your car. I'm worried that others will follow suit thats all. Congradulations and whatever man. Peace and stuff.
P.S. I havent even touched the entire diferent profiles thing, Holy s***. (boom01)

And this statement is supposed to demostrate your 'lets talk about cars in a mature manner' attitude?
Dont hate it cuz you aint it? LOL, get real, dude. No one cares about your engine...and besides, Brian's custom turbo setup would whip your buzzword laden 2.3 DOHC VVT engine to crap.

Can't we all just get along? (friday)
Drop looks sick, how you did it is your choice! I think some of you guys should just have a (cheers) and agree to disagree on how to do it! (thumb)
Too bad that wouldn't work in Toronto, our streets are so fricking chewed up from frost heaving/bad snowplows, I've already cracked the splash guard under my engine! If anyone could help me out, now THAT would be worth arguing over!(argh)
