Thanks guys yeh there are a few things...

as far as mods go what can you do to the FS engine thats effective keeping it n/a?

the standard head unit with stacker is there rca or a line in input?

i also need a radio code and a spare key as previous owner misplaced these so how much roughly would mazda charge to get those?

Thanks

Hey Marty,

Welcome to AGT and more specifically welcome to the SP20 club (I made that btw ). As far as the FS goes, there are a number of bolt-on enhancements but unfortunately most of those come the good old US of A. If you are staying N/A - intake, header and exhaust are the most obvious places to start. If you want some recommendations on brands, there are a few people on the forum that have tried a variety and can give you some pointers. Suspension mods are probably the next thing to consider.

There is an auxiliary input for the stock radio, but you need to take the radio out and run a line from the back of the unit to somewhere within reach.

Hope you enjoy the website.

Cheers,
Darryl.

there was once a gizmo made in the states which hijacked the minidisk input and allowed you to use it as an aux in....they were working on an uber version that would allow control of the device via the head deck, but the project died somewhat.
