    Default How many Late Model Mazda owners?

    Looking to see if there are a lot of local guys running around with 2001-up Mazda cars. The Mazdaspeed 6 was just released with the 2.3 Turbo 274hp AWD 6spdManual, and the Mazda CX-7 is about to be realeased with the same 2.3 T and 244hp/254tq and AWD 6spdAuto as a sporty crossover SUV like the Murano.

    I know mazda has been stepping up their sportiness in a huge way and I never really see too many people out there tuning these cars like the honda guys do. I would really like to see the turbo cars hp ratings with a few mods and maybe some sites that sell parts for them (ie. MazdaSpeed 3, MS miata, MS 6)

    Feel free to list mods and whp ratings.

    MX-5's

    3's

    Mazdaspeeds

    Etc....

    So none of you guys have really modded your boosted cars much, or have websites to look at parts, or have any dyno graphs to post up?

    really curious

    thanks

    I have a '03 Miata plus a couple of '99s. All boosted. I'm really surprised their aren't more Mazda enthusists. They have a pretty sweet line up of cars and they are super easy to work on. Also, I haven't had anything but good experiences with aftermarket support. I'm sold on Mazdas. It's interesting how the dealers in the area don't do that much to promote their product. I guess that's why you don't see too many on the road. Great cars at reasonable prices. I sure enjoy mine.
