I just want to see what everyone is planning on doing or what they expect out of this car in the future.

Me, this is going to just be a daily driver, so I'm just going to get all the luxury options, tint the windows, lower it and probably the Kenstyle kit. I'll throw in some bolt on's, intake exhaust header. Maybe some Rims eventually (I like the stock 17's). I think that's it.

 

[vaBooM]

So far:

Tinted windows 20%
Stubby antenna

In the next month:

1/0 Gauge power for 2 amps
Phoenix Gold 4 channel
CDT 6.5" Components up front
CDT 6.5" Coaxils in the rear

Month After:

15" sub
Cadence mono amp or Hifonics

MARCH, my bday:

19" wheels and lowering

Turbo, nitrous or supercharger when available.

My plans: Pretty much nothing.

I'll probably replace the stock tires (once they wear out) with a set of Pilot A/S for sure and I might tint the windows, but probably not.

I have neither the time, nor the money, nor the knowledge/experience to do serious mods. I'm pretty much impressed and satisfied by what this car offers in stock form.

But it would be very interesting to see what the rest of the community chooses to do with their 3's... 8)

I'll likely tint the windows within the next month or so when cash allows. Other than that a K&N and a Catback will probably be all I do this upcoming year. In fact I will be unlikely to change much else other than possibly winter tires and rims next fall for the whole time I own the car.

 

[TwEAK]

Changes? The only changes I'm going to do is my budget Once i get my Mz3, which will be probably next month, i'm gonna half to cut down on fast food!

Yo cowtown. Ask sunridge for a place to get you a good deal.. or I can give you the place that they gave me.

 

[cowtown]

they gave me a place last time that was alright but I forgot the name, I know it was just down 32nd a ways in the industrial park, is that the place you went? Lemme know I'll probably try to tint it up all purty late next month.

 

[funkyfreshmonke]

hey vaboom can you still turbo an auto?....or is supercharging it better...

 

[vaBooM]

Up to you. Only problem is, you cant launch at the starting line to spool the turbo up. If your not concerned about drag racing, then its either.

Some pros and cons:

Turbo - Pros > Adjustable; high end power, wicked spool up and blow off noises lmao. Cons > Expensive; high maintenance. Must intercool above 8psi.

Super - Pros > Instant power; flat torque power; low maintenance; no intercooler needed due to shorter intake piping. Cons > Power limited to charger size and pulley; non-adjustable; pulley tends to slip at high rpms, unless kit comes with a guard.

There are many, many more factors. But that does help break it down some. Prices are close to each other, but turbo kits with intercoolers will generally be more expensive.

Already done:

- MOMO shifter
- Tinted windows
- 10" billet aluminum antenna
- MOMO SuperTurismo Aluminum Pedals
- Yokohama AVS Winter 901
- Ichibahn red anodized aluminum Valve stem caps

When available on the market and when weather will permit...i.e. Spring time:

- CAI cold air intake. Injen, HKS, K&N
- Catback HKS or another good brand
- MAYBE Lowering the car a little...not to much here because of the snow and the crappy roads.
- Caliper painted with G2 red

 

[dugrant153]

Any H-stock mods.

No, that's not the place they gave me. How much did they quote you at the other place?

 

[mastermoe]

I'd like to add a cold air intake (AEM when available)
- Muffler (any suggestions?)
- HID Kit
- Spoiler (Type R Style)
- Gun Metal Mags (18" if I can find a good deal)
- Maybe change the shifter....

 

[Fobby_Monkey]

a few mods for me when 3 years is up in order:

coilovers
CAI
Catback

 

[Kazbaeden]

[/quote]Those are for the looks[/quote]

You kidding me? Definately performance mods. The pedals alone add 5hp, and the tinted windows? It looks like it's going 90 when it's parked!

 

[zaimon]

How about all the stickers? 0.5hp per sticker!

I won't be adding stickers to mine, simply the following:

- CAI
- Exhaust (maybe)
- Chip (if developed)
- Lowering Springs/Struts

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

Don't forget, a Mazda3Forums.com sticker adds 10 HP!

That's pretty much what I am doing. =D

I haven't been quoted on the 3 yet but I seem to remember it being around $200-250 for the PRo5 which had the same amount of windows. Where did you get yours done Fobby and what did it cost?
