Thoughts for Mods of the Mazdaspeed

[Kooldino]

I had a 2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS coupe. His name was Pych Blk - because in the beginning I had big big big designs for him involving everything on him being black! Plus I love that movie!!!

"Pitch Black" is the name of one of my PC's.

I would like to know what some modifications that you have done or would do to your Mazdaspeed.
I haven't done anything yet except put Mobil 1 synthetic oil in it. I would like to do some more stuff to my car though and here are some of the things I was thinking (and of course I would like to get a ton more ideas!)

First off cosmetic:
TINTING; - I miss my tinting! At least it is raining non-stop in VA so I don't have to worry about it as much!
Moonroof!; - I miss this too, but as I said non-stop rain doesn't make it seem as missed!
Hood; - I miss my aggressive hood scoops on my Subaru Impreza, (any good suggestions let me know!)

Power, Performance:
Well in this area I am not sure yet; I don't want to go too overboard till I know how much I can spend! Plus I am having a hard time finding parts on the internet for the Mazdaspeed. If you have suggestions for any good websites PLEASE let me know!

Sunroof will be costly for a good one...but aftermarket sunroofs tend to have problems.

Yes...they WILL weaken the frame's integrity...but not so much that you'll notice it.

Too many people saying "sunroof makes a car handle worse" Then tell me this, do you handle better than a Porsche 911? And yea...Those 911s have sunroofs (well all the one's I've seen) and they handle good...

If it really hindered performance, I don't think Porsche would of included one.

But aftermarket ones...avoid.

Hoods you can get a CF hood with scoops...and you could probally find other cosmetic mods as well.

Performance...Injen has a CAI...and that's all I know of for now...you can always get custom stuff. All depends what you want/need.

RS 2.5 coupe...the nicest impreza...well I like the new 2004 STi designs...but...the neon style lights are just fugly.

Get an underdrive pulley! I know I am the only advocate on here for it but thats because people have misconceptions towards them on turbo applications. I have better response and faster acceleration. I hope to have dyno results with the UDP and with UDP & CAI by thursday and then all will see its glory

underdrive pulley's will be the death of your car man,don't do it, don't give into the darkside.

blah blah blah. i don't see the Glassman's TT RX-7 "timebomb" going to hell in a handbasket. underdrive pulley's are fine.
