what would i have to do to my car if i want to get 300 hps out of my engine

How is a mustang a cookie cutter? Its smaller and weighs more looks ugly depending on ur taste. Honestly if you want something fast fun reliable and cheap invest in a bike like a ninja zx10 you can pick one up brand new for 10-12k 8500 if you pay upfront no payments. But he also said he's still in school and works part time no way he could afford to put that kinda money into a car I mean for 20,000 you could put a nice down payment on a porsche cayaane turbo about 600hp looks good and handles good and its awd but then there's the other 60,000 you gotta come up with but that's way off topic. To a lot of people that would def be worth it but id never put that kinda money into my mp3 ever after 40 years or so it could be worth a lot of money in stock form...but the way its goin it won't stay stock :)
 
Yes it's been a work in progress since I bought it over 8yrs ago. Single dad two little boys no nagging wife and a fat income tax return every year is the only way I could have taken this car so far. If it was a Honda probably could have done it around $6k lol!!

Right after the p5 came out I picked it up and not long after took the dive of buying and installing a Hiboost Turbo Kit and that was the opening of a big ass can of worms. Realizing the motor and tranny wasn't solid after already sinking $6000 on a turbo set-up, lsd, exhaust coilovers...it was just the best thing for me to upgrade a little at a time

Reliability was #1 on the list with two little kids!
 
Nothing wrong with that but the upgrades will come after everything that's broke is fixed besides the turbo what. Was the biggest power maker that was under 500
 
Ya that's something i would do it's my dd so I would just up grade as I go along that makes the most sence u don't have to get everything at onces u just use the stuff that u have untill it brakes then u up grade it when it breaks right now I am saving for coilovers almost kinda there so ya man I like shane02pro5 Idea the best cause u had to use as a dd so ya Man best idea dude love ur car

Forged and rebuild parts, turbo setup capable of that power, ic, ems, exhaust, lsd (welded you'll need it) clutch, KNOCK LIGHT!! Gauges, suspension, motor mounts. I pretty much had to buy everything new back then.

But yeah used maybe half that cost.
 
A man that's alot of s*** to do to make ur car fast that's y I am going to do thy stuff later so I have more money
 
^ Good idea... If I could go back 6 months from now I probably would; stay off the forums, bought the Neon thats sitting in my driveway and saved a TON of money.
 
Not about whats better (it's MSP btw MazdaSpeed Protege), yes I love my MSP, but if I was smart I should have chosen the Neon thats sitting in the driveway and never bother with this hobby, but everyone needs to live once.. I'm having fun no doubt. :)
 
yea the skittles are a good platform to start off with. yea most of them are driven by tards but they are quick.
 
Ya man that's the way to go but I would rather sat I have a msp then a neon dude and msp's are hella reliable

I think you forgot the sarcasm font
lol. you obviously havent been around her very long. its a great car but def not reliable
 
I agree far from relieable everytime I fix one thing another breaks. Its not fun but I get to learn how to do more stuff ;) but I like it it does look good but sometimes I wana report an electrical fire. The worst part about our cars is its hard to find parts sometimes other than from the dealer. I'm not going to be getting a mazda for my next car of course I'm not getting rid of my mp3 either
 
ya i agree with that they are sick but way to hard to find part if i was goingto get any car i would get an evo or a wrx thats y i love my mp5 it looks just like a wrx and i love the lines and the looks of it
