$2300 to spend... what should I do???
I have a 95 Pro lx (1.5 liter). I have $2300 to blow on it and I need some suggestions on what I should do. I am looking to up the power (who isnt?) what would be something that I could do with that much money? I am getting some headers made by larsen motor sports at the end of feb. So that is out of the question. Does anybody have any ideas as to what I should/can do with that much money?

Well I already have my windows tinted, and I have konig tantrums on back order. I was thinking about getting a erebuni ground effect kit or a mazdaspeed kit. Which one should I get? I also already have a system, so thatis out of the question too. That turbo idea isnt a bad one, but i just cant seem to find a set price range on how much it will actually cost. Some people say it will cost about $1000, some say it will cost $7000. Can anybody give me some really GOOD info about what I would need to do, and how much it would cost???

MIC please !!!!!!
.... ok after reading some of the posts that these nuts , i call friends put up , I would really suggest swapping the 1.5 out for a 1.8 first thing , ... You can get the factory 1.8L or go the way of corksport and get the BPT ,. but to be honest i would get the 1.8L from a local junkyard,.. should cost about 400 - 600 depending on compression , . You have sites like mazdaautorecycling.com and the such wich can get you these engines and crap ,. I would suggest that you call them tell them you want to do a 1.5 to 1.8L swap and you need everything engine wise plus computer and wiring harness..................
2 ND option
You can get a crashed , salvage tittle Mazda Protege 1.8L from a salvage yard, you can stop off at your local Bodega and see if they have a crash car magezine , and look for a hit 1.8L they usually run like 1grand , 2 grand at most ... With this you will have everything you need aside from a radiator maybe to complete a full engine swap on your car . just transfer everything from the 1.8 to your car and you are set ....................
If you can do the work urself and are therefore mechanically inclined then you are even better off....
don't really bother with rims and exhaust and stereo , if you really want speed ,, get the speed first and then go for bodykits , mufflers , stereo and all that jazz ................
PUTS THE MIC DOWN !!

I thought they didnt make superchargers for the 1.5.... I am open to many ideas though. I could sell the header quickly because i know a lot of people that want one. So i wouldnt necesasarily say all that is out of the question. What company would make custom pistons? And what is a Haltec? (sorry for the lack of knowledge)
