i seriously plan on having my car in a magazine someday. I am in negotiations with mazdaspeed about getting sponsorship and my friend is already sponsored by hose techniques, velox, catz, etc. Hence, parts should come by relatively cheaply. As of right now these are all my mods:
Performance/ Engine:
Spearco FMIC with custom Anodized piping and HKS BOV Anodized blue
Injen CAI
Joep MBC
Hose techniques Engine dress kit
Apex Motorsports 2.5 Inch DP
Custom 3inch cat back with Apexi N1 turbo Muffler
Greddy Full Auto Timer
Autometer Pro Comp Boost/ A/F Gauges with dual pillar pod.
NGK heat range 7 plugs
Denso High Flow Fuel Pump
Interior:
Dual Black Sparco Torinos
Stock everything else
Exterior/Suspension:
Eibach Pro Kit
Vanity Plate
Soon to be 50% tint
Basically I want to do things such as sparco steering wheel and 4pt racing harnesses on the interior.
ICE isnt that important to me
On the outside i want DGM CF eyelids, Fiberglass front lip spoiler, rear valence, and side skirts.
Then i want the mazdaspeed parts when they come out, WHICH THEY WILL.
My friend works at a mazdspeed parts outlet near Detroit MI and he assures me that items such as CF fender Flares as well as front lip spoilers will be comming out; as to when who knows.
Honestly I want a clean ass car that cun run a quarter in the 13s and be a solid Autox contender day in and out.
ICE really doesnt matter to me, but i wouldnt mind watching some initial D on a 7inch flat screen inside my car once in a while.
As to who has the "Best" Car that is really a subjective question. As to the fastest I really dont know, but i wouldnt doubt it if the fastest msp doesnt even post on this board.
For example, My friend who works for mazdaspeed has a custom built (he did it) 3-rotor rx-7 (3rd gen) with about 50 G's invested and I am positive he has one of the DOBEST (if thats a word) cleanest, fastest (daily driven) rx-7s in the country.
(oh look for it in the next Modified Mag, His name is Kan and his car is a red rx7)
He used to (in thailand) swap 2jZs into mercedes SL's in one day. I have so much respect for this man.
So, i like kenetix even though you all flame him. I think there is truth to his statements.
