Hello Dodge,

I am new to the forum as well. I was thinking about replacing the stock shifter knob. I noticed you did already can you tell me about the knob you chose, where you got it, how much, was it easy to install? Also a pic would be great.. Thanks

wow after Googleing those front bumper spats it turns out UKDM has TONS of accessories

 

[Dodge]

You think UKDM has parts, Google Thailand mazda 2!! They have crazy parts there including a body kit that turns a 2 into a Speed3.

I want you all to know I'm no stranger to import performance. Here is a link to my first car out of highschool. As feature in Honda tuning magazine.

I then sold it for this for a civic 4dr (sleeper/track beater) that ended up getting stolen and stripped. I loved this car almost as much as my wife. It had a strong 170 whp B16a/b with a CTR trans /OS Giken LSD and 8k in Suspension/brake/aero/interior mods.

Holy crap, that Civic is my kind of sleeper. Amazing! Welcome to 2'sville.

So this is turning into my build thread. I was busy last night starting to paint my masterpiece.

Hate reflectors in your rear bumper? Me too!

Hate your stock climate controls? Me too! (Thanks to FONT for the tip)

You can order them on eBay - I just got mine in the mail. Including shipping, it might run you about 6-10, depending on which vendor you go through. (I received mine for $10, including shipping)

Do you still have some sort of light or reflector in the bumper, Dodge? I'm pretty sure it's illegal to run without rear reflectors (at least it is in my state).

Don't need them here. I could add the if I had to though.


6. - INSPECT OTHER LIGHTS FOR:

Approved type, proper bulbs, and condition of lenses, wiring and switch.
Aim of fog and driving lamps.
Illumination of all lamps and proper color of lenses.
(NOTE: Every vehicle must have a rear lamp showing a red light to the rear, a white light illuminating the rear license plate; vehicles over 7 feet wide or extending 4 inches or more beyond the front fender extremes must be equipped with approved clearance lamps and reflex reflectors. (Include load when measuring.)

We had a nice bout of weather last weekend. I installed the fiesta rear sway bar from steeda. All I can say is that's how the car should have come from the factory!! Anyone that wants more rotation for deeper, faster cornering that's your bar.

I want to see the white on white with those Rega's. I'm also interested in seeing the s2000 spoiler? I can't imagine what that'll look like.

15x7 Regamaster Evos (white) (have ready to put on when spring hits)

I like where you're going(i have 15x8's in my garage for my white 2). The the rally S2000 type spoiler should definitely be a sight on the little 2. I'm staying tamer with mine than you're going with yours, but my to-be-track-car is my primary project, not my 2.
