The HRE wheels look great. By the same token, a set of 20s is going to cost at least $5800-$6500 for just the wheels. I think more of us would entertain them if prices were more reasonable. I know I would........

IMHO... go RAYS wheels!!! if it's price you're worried about, Gram Lights are of great quality for the price... and go with Volk Racing if you wanna bling out a little and have the cash to spare... my top choice over other wheels, and cheaper than HREs!

anywho, nice choice with the Works.

btw, i may stop by Z1 on the 3rd... not definite. if i did, could i dyno even though i don't tell you in advance?

You don't have to get on a list to dyno. Priority will be given to 370Z/G37 owners. Once those have an opportunity to dyno anyone is free to get dynoed. I believe the plan is to do one car every 30 minutes so the dyno will be going on all day.

Yep, have some other buds that might come but they gotta wait.

PS - Z1 has several read JDM fog lights and makes the extended wiring harnesses, so get yours while they are hot, I just got mine in, only took 30 min of work. James got his a few weeks ago too and we both love em. Beats the bejunkus out of the stock black panel and lights up like the JDM factory light when the running lights are on.

Tempting, I might get one installed while I'm down there!

atl370z · 06-29-2010, 09:30 AM

I will try to make it down there this Sat

Maybe I'll ask my gf to bring her mazdaspeed3 and get it dyno after all the 370z/g37 owners gets done too.

'10Anamoly · 06-29-2010, 09:56 AM

Viera,

Do it, join the JDM fog crowd, come to the bright red side, stray from the dark (black fog) side..

alt370z,

I traded in my speed3 to get the 370Z. What year is hers?

I had a 2008 with the Mazdaspeed CAI, turbo inlet, test pipe and AP tune. Was a torque monster but didnt have near the pull that the Z does up top. Kind of useless in a FWD car for racing but was definately fun to drive.

atl370z · 06-29-2010, 01:25 PM

It's a 08 speed3 with zero mod on it.
What would you suggest first mod she should do or whats the most bang for the buck mod?

Best trouble free mod is the official Mazdaspeed Cold Air Intake. Adds 10-20hp and a nice sound with little to no side effects. However, you MUST make sure you buy the newer version which has the airflow straightener. Without this, the fuel trims will be off by a lot and you run the risk of a check engine light. You can also get some silicone boost tubes from StreetUnit which are a nice upgrade for boost stability. I'd get the new version of the mazdaspeed cold air intake, silicone boost tubes and a catback and call it a day with that car honestly.

Otherwise, there is not too much more to do that wont start to affect fuel trims noticeably. You need to be able to tune to get more involved, even for turbo inlets/test pipes etc. Also the turbos have a bad habit of smoking due to a poor PCV system so you want to make sure the warranty is honored under any circumstances. Mazda only has band-aid fixes for the PCV like using thicker oil, no real fix for it.

atl370z · 06-29-2010, 02:32 PM

"Sorry for the none 370z related topic here"

But yes, her speed3 did have the white smoking issue until Dealer did a oil change with thicker oil. There is no sign of smoking so far and all the oil change is going to be free at the dealer until Mazda have come up witha real solution for the fix.
I was actually thinking to go with CPE SRI instead of cold air due to price and any hydrolock problem. But I know the dealer probably'll give us crap for that.

CPE SRI is good, but the CAI's give you a more linear torque curve. The SRI tends to make more power up top from my experience and are a bit jumpy when the heat soaks up. If you do go with an SRI though, definately get the CPE and not Cobb. The Cobb does not run well without a tune.

cool, I'll keep that in mind! thanks
