Your engine is the ZM-DE? It's generally accepted that the FS-DE we got in North America doesn't respond that well to bolt-ons. If the same is true for your engine I'd just build on the part Mazda got right--the suspension. Otherwise look into engine swaps or forced induction--but those are huge commitments.

Car looks good! Consider some tint and a drop?
Tint is in the plans but getting a lowering kit fir it seems to be a headache.Can any of you recommend a company that I could contact to ship them to me.Not available in SA cause its not a popular car.

Nothing else I can do guys to extract power?What engine swaps would you guys recommend?

There's a shop in Canada which installs the KL-ZE, a 2.5L V6. But if your motor indeed responds well to boost, consider boosting it--that'll go smoother than a full engine swap.

Is there a website I can go onto to check out bolt on's for my car?
