You better get yours
Well I asked for you guys help and didn't get very much so I took matters into my own hands and went crazy today. As I said before I wanted to make my PR5 fast or atleast as fast as I could so I went all out and called Corky himself at BEGI and placed my order for a Turbo which will be here in 5 weeks then headed to my local No Parts In Stock shop (aka NOPI) and picked up a Ingen CAI, Nitros Works wet kit, short shifter and an Apexi exhaust. Then went all out, and since everybody knocks the Tripoint turbo ordered one those for my wifes PR5 (Autostick) just to see how bad they really where even though I told Corky about this and he said he had one of those kits on his Miata that has 120k on it and still runs fine. So all I have to say is you better get yours.

Yes, it's emissions legal. One of the main things that BEGI engineered around was keeping the stock cats in the stock locations and using the stock ECU.

glad to see u have the cash
dont mean to hate, but your acting like we all go out every day and purchase 15g worth of car parts, some people have to live in the real world or people like you couldnt sleep at night knowing u dont have enough cash to buy us all out.
and another thing, if u do have that type of cash (and i dont mean to be rude to the P5) but y would you chose that instead of an rx7. face it your never running 9's in a p5 unless u strap some rockets to your ***, and if you do please fly to the moon and stay there, but dont forget to buy it first.
thank you

please dont take to much offense to that but you talk with the superiority complex of a ricer and i dont have the patients for arogance.

you're putting Nitrous on a new engine? how many km's you got on it? I don't know dude, patience is a virtue my friend hehe
I think you should've just got a faster car as well..... if I just wanted speed and had tons of money I wouldn't be driving a Protege (good thing I don't have more money, I'm happy with my Pro
)

Well thats great that you have all of these things and that you are getting more things. Congratulations!!!! Now what? You want to race? I really dont mean to be a hater either but you are fitting the description of a ricer. Mr. I GOT THIS AND I GOT THAT. I hope you really are getting those things in real life because it sounds to me that you really need them.
Oh well Im just rambling.

Dont forget...
Dont forget to get some good brakes!! I use the Hawk Pads from Tirerack and they kick ***!!
AND-- YOU WILL NEED new motormounts. Get the Polyurathane ones from Mazdaspeed/AWR. My stock rubber ones are gone after a year of autocross.
AND-- YOU WILL NEED a Limted Slip Differential with all that power from the turbo. The Quiafe differential is pricey but well worth the money. What good is tons of horsepower if all you do is smoke the front right tire?
Good luck,
