I'm planning of getting a 3rd one in 3-4years for my wife's daughter, she like Green But it will be an Auto hi hi hi
She will get some lil mods but nothing too crazy, mostly stereo upgrade, SRI/Ram Air Box, axle back, better brakes, RB springs, CS torsion bar, tint and that's it.

By that time there will probably be a new version of the Mazda 2.

I'm planing on a used Mazda2, not a new one for her

Ok tires on the car, drove around a bit and wow, it feels nice. It's more comfortable than the oem Yoko's, the handling seem to be dead on...I haven't run them hard yet, but braking them in for a few KM. Got pictures to add, so stay tuned.

 

[scoobs]

Ok, new pictures

Looks good! How much were the Falken's?

143$ each

Ok, winter mode. Looks funny with black steel wheels, I think next year I'll run the oem wheels plasti-diped in black.

I need new summer wheels and I got life in the Falkens for an other 2years. So I need 15x7" or 15x8".

Track days should be K1's 30+offset 15x7" with the Falkens. Light, low cost, easy to clean, easy to plasti dip too

DD, Enkei Compe 15x8" 25+offset with all seasons 205/50R15. They are heavy but man they look soooooo hot

I did a lil redneck ECU mod, got tired of all that plastic being there doing nothing.....so good-bye old intake box

Ok, I think a 2.0l MZR would look like a lot better under my hood

Yeah me too on the 2.0 motor.

We need someone to do this, post what is needed and what are the issues on doing a 2.0l swap.

An other thing will be finding the parts, like Cosworth pistons, manifold, cams.....

 

[scoobs]

An other thing I was thinking, what could we use for transmission. Speed3 transmission can it couple to the 2.0l?

I'm starting to get a picture in my mind

Yup, MS3 gearbox and a set of custom axles. The Guys at CJ Wilson used R-Axles.com I believe to do the set of axles.

I think I may work on this after all

I got to find tune also to mate with the high compression of the Cosworth piston, new cams, manifold, t-body and SRI.

For SRI I may use a CS unit and mod it a bit. I got to find a transmission, engine with ECU/ Wire harness. Looks like next winter 2014/15 I'll be starting my project

It will be great to see this unfold.

It will take time and money, but this lil car is worth it

I got to find

-2.0l MZR with wire harness
-Mazdaspeed3 Transmission
-Custom axles
-Pistons, piston rods, cams, cam springs, crankshaft, larger t-body, Intake manifold, modified Corksport SRI
-Header, custom exhaust, tune
-Engine mounts
-Lots of other things that can't come to mind yet lol

An other thing that may be cool, and would cost a lot less money... Jackson Racing Rotrex C30 supercharger, custom bracket, custom alternator pulley, piping, BPV, intercooler, injectors, forged pistons 8,5:1, forged piston rods. Custom tune and a better transmission.....lol Sound easier to swap a 2.0l

 

[scoobs]

I found a 2004 Mazda3 2.0l for under 2,000$....yep going with a 2.0l sound pretty sweet. Buying the car, rip the engine and trans out. Rebuild it with all the cool parts.

Find a transmission and get those custom axles will be harder.
