new mazda

[SeaNanners]

Hey guise, so I just got a 2010 mazda 3 s sport 5 door and I want to convert it into a MAZDASPEED by adding a turbo and all of the bolt on goodies. Has anyone done this yet and are there any good how to guides? I was going to sign up and ask this at mazda speed forums but they all seem like big meanies.

The good thing about having a new vehicle is a warantee which I totally voided at 7k miles so go for it!!

You will need to make suspension mods, (sway bars, springs, struts/shocks, wheels, tires). You will need to improve the brakes,drivetrain, (LSD) and interior/exterior trim bits and pieces.
Does your car even have a manual transmission? This really does'nt make sense to me, unless your a professional mechanic or an experienced do it yourself type person with a lot of tools you are probably looking at a $10,000 addiditional investment, (parts/professaional labor) and it would still only be an MS3 clone!
I would trade it in for a real MS3 or a Mustang, (much better parts catalog, easy to work on and upgrade).
This is JMO and I don't mean any disrespect, but I feel you have a mountain to climb here. Good Luck!
