Mazda twwwoo

This is a cut and paste job sorry if make no sense. If i did it properly it would still make no sense




Just thought i would start a build thread since i got my Mazda 2 poverty spec Neo brand new from the dealership.

I guess i will give a back ground of some of the cars i have had over the years

Started with a Hyundai S coupe aka the lady getter.
So many ladies, so little time, with that animal packing a whole 78hp when new and when i got it had almost 58 donkeys as many of the horses ran away. This car served me well and was very cheap to run and never broke down on me, but i wanted power and then i made a stupid decision of buying a absolute **** condition Toyota GT4.

It was beaten and in a bad way but thought i could fix it and would be amazing, soooo much for that idea. Basically sold it after fixing so many things on it and made a net loss close to 12k after selling it. Was soooooooo bad, but i fixed it all, and had to sell it as i then hated to look at it.









I then decide the hunt for a new car was needed and after looking at many cars, including a zzt231 celica and a Renualt Clio sport i decide to go this route and get a 2

I really liked the videos you guys had and the simple mods you did to make it handle very nicely and look great at the same time. I also like that fact that it should not break on me every month and require lots of money and time to fix.

So here is mine

Plans include Fortune auto coilovers but i think these will void my warranty so i think some simple eibach springs will have to do with the standard shocks or does anyone have any recommendations? Also first mod will prob be a B spec rear sway bar as it looks like it can be simply removed if i need to bring back to the dealer ship. Then will prob be a AWR dog mount to improve feel and also be removed easily if needed and some wheels and semi slicks as i plan to go auto crossing and track if i can.














I got a boot tray and a rear apron boot protector thingy with it also.

I will probably try get some aluminum pedals and foot rest from the UK as they have that as a option.





Thanks for looking

Well thought i would post up my first mod to the car.



Genuine turtle plush toy!!!

That is all..


































And some Mazdaspeed MS01-S Monoblock Rays





All it cost me was a hug and a handjob, my wrist is sooooo sore though


Next mods will be AWR engine mount and Cork sport torsion bar, then save for some Khumo Ku36 semis

Hey i finally decided to post some pics.

First up my corksport stuff arrived I ordered a wing and also a rear torsion bar after not going with the tri bar simply cause no wants bashed muffler

Here is the wing


Looks so good does it not? Gave 30 kg of downforce at 200kms a hour



and one of a drive after installing it


I also realised that my tyre pressures were all over the place from the dealership after this so i adjusted them and car was much better

I might be looking for new wheels though as the ms-01s are too wide for the car and kill performance a bit. They look amazing from all the pics i never posted but they increase fuel economy as they are too wide sadly

Hahahha sorry about the pics i have no idea why they blew up on here. they are normal on the other sites i have thread on

Yes Justin did own the red twinky but has moved to a BMW now and is too fancy and looks down at pesants because has BMW.

I love the wheels but sadly they take the edge off performance and use a lot more fuel
the weight is not bad at all, but the tire is too much for the small car.
