Mazdaspeed6 for road racing

[Code Monkey]

Hello everyone, a few weeks ago I purchased my first Mazda and have been lurking and reading up on mods since. I took my Speed6 to the track last weekend and the car felt loose in the back thus my initial mods will be all geared toward stiffening up the car rather than adding more power.

The plan for now is to install the Dreadnaught and Juggernaught, CorkSport RSB, and c-pe rear motor mount. Also, the SURE short shifter set (CounterShift, Anchors, and ShortCut) as well as a wider acceleration pedal for easier heel-and-toeing (my feet are pretty narrow). I am hoping to have all of the above done in the next three months or so.

The next step will be installing H&R coilovers together with endlinks and SPC adjustable ball joints. Hopefully will have that within a year.

Somewhere between the two I want to upgrade the fuel pump, get the Cobb AP and collect, analyze, and understand the data before I jump into adding more power. At the moment I am inclined towards doing all the power mods at once (SRI, TIP, DP, TP, FMIC) and having the car pro tuned and I think I should be done (I do not think I will be upgrading the turbo, manifolds, etc, I may even just do a 2.5" race pipe and not bother with the 3" DP). Right now it looks like power mods will be "year two" upgrades.

Anyway, it is quite a list and I have a long way to go. Should be a fun ride.
