introduce my self as well as my car.
My name is Serg I live in a Los Angeles and this is my car

2005 Mazda 3 Hatchback/5door

Everything is pretty much stock, just bought those rims on it yesterday.

Mods:
18" 5Fifty Rims
225/40/R18 Champiro Tires
AEM COLD AIR INTAKE

Future Mods:
Magnaflow Catback Exhaust
Lowering Kit
HiBoost Turbo Kit (Just saw it on this forum....drooling)
Body Kit
Brembo Rotors and Calipers
Lambo Doors Kit
More to come.....

Additional ideas or tips are definitely welcomed!

 

Welcome to the club man. I like those rims and the tint in the back .. looks real slick with the black paint.

Your future mods look promising, but you may want to rethink the Lambo doors. It would be alright on a 2-door but even then I'm not a big fan. Then again, that's just my opinion .. so just disregard it.

Enjoy your stay here

 

car looks real good, i 2nd his opinion ^ on the lambo doors.. suicide.. maybe.. lambo's just dont look right on 4 door cars.

 

lambo doors wouldnt look all that bad....
but what about these doors??

lol

and i saw a TL with lambos the other day.... it didnt look all that bad. but then again, the car was VERY done up... body coloured 22"s, suede interior, etc etc

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Thanks for the compliments, much appreciated! Yeah I'm definitely gonna think twice about those Lambo Doors.

 

Hey Fellas thanks for all the compliments, encouragement and tips.

I think my next project will be installing the the Magnaflow Cat Back system, but I was wondering if I should also install new headers. Anyone got any ideas or preferred brands?


Feels good to be part of a great group, thanks!

 

Headers will give you a much more refined power band, and yield a good 10-15 HP but the downside is going to be the loudness of it all. It won't be horrible, but a lot louder than it would be with just a catback.

Also, before you go ahead and spend the time/money/labor on a header, what are your actual long term plans for the car? You said you wanted to get the HiBoost turbo kit in your first post .. which would make the header completely useless to you. If turbo is what you're after, then just leave the header out of the picture for now .. it's an easy addition later on if you ever change your mind. Whereas if you buy the header now and wanna go turbo, selling the header is still gonna put you behind..

 

i love the black on black looks great. good point on the header that was my next step butt was also thinking about a turbo some day.

 

Great point, thanks man! Joining this group was one of the best things I could have done for my car! Thanks again!

 

Lookin good. Welcome.

 

Welcome aboard!

Just to comment on the doors thing, instead of lambos, why not suicides on the back doors. that would looks pretty sweet with all 4 open

Have fun with that 3 of yours!

 

yes your 3 can give you hugs
