where should I start?

I just bought my 06 Mazda 3i so where is my best place to start mods. I want to keep the mileage but boost the power a little. Maybe an air filter? What all is available for it?


thanks,

Well, what do you want from the car? You can put in a drop-in filter or scour the f/s section here for a good deal on an SRI/CAI, some good choices for cat backs are available while you may be hard pressed to find a header. If you are looking for more 'boost' you can contact Tri-Point Engineering as they sell a turbo kit for the 2.3. Or you could go suspension first and really make her shine in the turns.

Oh yeah, congrats and welcome!

Well I got in a bunch of Mazda stuff this week my wheels came in and the other two floor mats, also the tires, center caps, the other lug nuts will be here tomorrow. I have been at the dealer picking up parts or something everyday this week and was supposed to go tomorrow but they are letting me finish my Key chip programing on Friday when I get the 4 wheel alignment. I picked up the wheels today that they mounted my new tires on I can't wait to put them on tomorrow to see how they look. I installed my new Weather Tech mats today and I like them they are just what I wanted finally. They actually will fit like a mat should. I will post some pictures soon.
