hey guys, new to this forum. though my fiance and i are thinkin about a ms3, i don't own a mazda myself, but my room mate does and she's asked me to mod her car with her funds. she drives a red p5. plans on doing a lot of looks to it, a tranny swap (it's auto), some standard hp gain mods (intake, pulleys, exhaust, etc), possibly as far as a turbo kit. she's got a clean sense of style with cars too. so i'm not worried ha ha. tonight i'm blacking out the headlights. found out i have to take the damn bumper off... lame...
so i want to know what little mods can add a some pep to it. i drive a wrx myself and to smoke sti's all i had to do was add turbo back exhaust and an up pipe and get a flash on the ecu. cost was under 800. i was wondering if there are any "cheaper" bang for your buck mods on this car.
on a side note: what up james (syneed) i'm the blue bugeye that took pics of your car with that blue surpa.

the most bang for your buck on the p5 would be the headers, mid pipe with a high flow cat or catless and the pulleys, if she really wants more gains then that, then go we the hiboost turbo,

Welcome aboard, Id say tint is the best mod for p5, LOL my first and still favorite mod.

she has tint. it's pretty clean as is but she wants the headlights and wheels black. so what is a good place online to order parts for this car?

[4dirtywheels]

ok guys call me dumb but i can not find high flow cats

 

[4dirtywheels]

ok we're gonna do the headlights and rims then i will post pics for sure

 

[4dirtywheels]

<----- how do you put the pic right there? also most the forums i've been on say the car you drive. why doesn't that show up?

sorry for the bunch of posts...
i also was wondering does anyone know how much of a boost a little performance chip adds? is it worth it? keep in mind she's not looking to be the fastest just wants a little more fun of a ride

 

[Snyeed]

its in your control panel, its called avatar. What chip you talking about? Usually those chips don't do much.

 

[4dirtywheels]

yea just one of the cheapies

 

[MSP2024]

i'll ask her for sure

OK LET ME KNOW I REALLY NEED TO GET RID OF THESE

If its a standard p5 you can get the ECU from a MP3. That will give it a little more pep liek 10-15hp but it will cost at the price of premium gas.

If you need rims hit me up got some available pretty cheap, like to sell local.
