UPDATE!!!


Hey all. I know this is a old thread, but I have a 2000 1.6 liter sedan. Mine too is Emerald Green Mica so I have those extra 3-4 HP as well.. Here are the mods I have now and then the mods I plan on doing in the future:

*Edit* Have to change some things because of..... accidents

1) Wings West MP3 rear bumper and side skirts w/extreme fender flares
2) Mazda MP3 spoiler
3) Fiberglass EVO hood
4) Wings West hood bonnet
5) Wings West rear window spoiler
6) Injen CAI
7) GT Spec V Brace
8) GT Spec Reinforcement Panel
9) GT Lower tie bar and Lateral Arms
10) Eibach Pro-Kit springs
11) KYB GR-2 gas shocks/struts *Replaced with Tokico HPs*
12) 18 in ADR Vision wheels w/215.35.18 low profile Kumho ECSTA MX tires *These were stolen; replacing with 17 in Racing Harts w/ 205.40.17 Fuzion or Kumho ECSTA MX tires*
13) Powerslot Slotted rotors w/Axxis brake pads
14) Goodridge G-stop SS brake lines
15) Sport 20 front bumper, Sport 20 grille and Autoexe lower lip *Have to replace the grille because its cracked from an accident*
16) Silver graphics kit and lettering
17) Tint windows w/smoked headlamps, tailights and corner lights * Replacing the headlamps with Sport20 ones so no smoke job yet; new tint job in the works since last tint job faded, discolored (purple), and bubbled*
18) Custom eyelids *On order from Ka Fai @ Carfield Enterprises*
19) Z3 fender inserts *Not on yet, but iffy bout these*
20) Sylvania H4 Ultra-whites w/Sylvania amber corner bulbs *Still have green corner bulbs in, might swap out soon since I no longer have any more green lighting outside of vehicle*
21) Xtreme Flow Hi-flow cat w/Electric Cut-out *Sold cut-out and went with custom exhaust w/straight pipe*
22) Kartboy exhaust hangers
23) SS muffler w/4 inch outlet
24) Custom exhaust system *Being replaced with Thunder Racing setup*
25) OBX 4-1 header *Never bought b/c was never released; bought Thunder Racing header*
26) Custom Gauge overlays w/Intelliglow needles *Gauges won't work with my cluster set-up so selling them. Possible E-bay gauges*
27) Vent-a-shade window visors *Had to replace b/c car broken into after one visor was torn off; about to put new set on*


Umm.... I have more, but I don't want to go on and on and on


Future:

1) HiBoost turbo kit
2) AWR 19 mm rear sway bar *Bought the MSP Racing Beat sways (front & rear)
3) CP Racing Triangulated strut bar *Bought the OEM MSP bar*
4) Engine work (Port-n-Polish of manifolds (E&I) and head, valve job)
5) ZL-VE cams w/SR Motorsports adjustable cam gears
6) SR Motorsports Complete pulley kit

Oh, yes, I have a 1.6L too.

The car does not have much torque between 1k-3k.
But when you hit the 4-5K, the car pulls
My 1.6L yes fly's when you reach 4-5K them bigger cars with bigger engines ant crap wants you get upto speed... I eventually pass them... In longer distances...
