Greetings people,
So I have decided to buy my Mazda3 after the lease is done with, given the reliability i have seen in the past year. My alternatives were the MS3 (discarded because i don't want a stick for my daily commute, traffic stinks especially when you're half awake) and the GTI (discarded because i heard it VERY unreliable) those were the only two alternatives because I have never owned nor will ever own anything but a hatch (with VERY few exceptions) and in the states hatch options are limited.
Okay so after this long troll-like introduction, here comes the question. What do you recommend me to mod ? I am looking for ideas here. I would like to keep it as close to stock as possible and my list was:
- HIDs
- brighter fog light bulbs
- light tint (what should i go for ? i would like to have good visibility at night)
- Homelink rear view mirror
- Better speakers and a sub.
- Better shocks/springs a bit stiffer and with a slight drop (need recommendations here)
- ECU remap ? is this safe ? are there recommended brands ?
- new rims and performance wheels (preferring the 18" off the MS3)
- winter tires for me 17"
What else do you guys recommend ? please give me your input.
ohh. and it's an 08 Mazda3 s (i wish i took the GT when i leased
)
