I put a CAI and exhaust on my auto...sure it isn't much faster if any, but it's just plain fun! And it's a healthy hobby! Can't buy drugs if my money goes to cars! ;)
 
I would fix up my auto as well, but I haven't heard any good things about a turbo automatic, thats why I wish they come out with a turbocharger where it would work better probably for automatics (dunno)
 
i got auto! no shame :)

i got h/e/i ground wires, minor stuff

turbo on the other hand, i say no, unless u run 4-5psi at most. dont wanna blow your tranny

peace

I have an auto (cuz i have to share the car with my mom). That is the reason that I'm not willing to spend some money on my car.
 
well concidering an auto can handle more power than an MT i would ONLY put performance mods into it, no ICE or anykinda BS,

lower w/ rims, and then turbo

yous? did you make that word up or something? (uhm)

there is no shame in driving an automatic.. it's just a choice. i drive a manual but don't look down on anyone because they have an automatic.
 
yeah wtf.... some people dont always have a choice... i wanted manual... it would have saved me over a G on the price... but after commuting to school in bad traffic... i am happy i have an auto... i probably would have wasted my clutch by now too.... well my next car will definately be a manual.... just have to choose between a 3, 6 , or rx 8... damn i love mazda
 
Ok, I wasn't trying to be an asshole....but I am one, so thats the way I came across. I don't like Auto for ME, however, I think some situations call for auto trans, and some people just don't want to worry about shifting through the gears. I love it, makes me feel closer to my baby, and makes me feel like I have more control.

I'm in the same boat, my wife's last car was a manual. She hated it becuase of her commute. She insisted on an auto. After we bought the auto P5, he commute changed to mainly highway. If we get a Mazda3, it'll be a manual.
 
Hell yeah fix up an auto tranny car. These cars (P5) are slugs to begin with. Everything I do just makes it that much more drivable. Don't get me wrong on the slug part....I love my car but we all know it's true.
 
heres one auto that will tear it up at the track or on the street:
