well, you can spend a lot of money just making incremental improvements through induction and exhaust, but the big power gains are though FI. Why don't you come to the Nats where you'll see a range of FI-developed cars, and make your decision after that?

if you are planning FI choose the other parts wisely or you will have to sell them latter.
the flywheel will work, but an intake might not.
the other parts aren't going to make much difference either. FI with the std parts will still make more power than all those mods on a NA car.

why change your exhaust? Ti is only a small weight saving on it's own. ditch that audio gear you have and you will gain more performance :P also your Apexi exhaust will be just as good on a FI car so why bother with Ti.

if I were you I'd get the flywheel and leave the rest.

I think the whole intake and cat and well tuned will get 20-30 kW over stock, but I don't think you should use eManage. It is a piece of nothing.

FI is good but I will wait for a while, unless you prepare to spend a lot of testing on it.

Go Motec or similar, if you spend that much on the car, why not the extra $2000.

Warning against Titan parts, great sounds, good gain but if it cracks ... cost a fortune to weild it.

Also after 20000km, you would like to change your clutch with the flywheel too.

I will find something other than MazdaSpeed flywheel... it is NOT the lightest flywheel there is.

I thought RE has it own flywheel? Maybe I was dreaming....

Flywheels. too light isn't too good for day drive.

so thats why get MS. RE have. can't remeber what company. but its more for racing.

RE intake is loud. then i will get it. lol

Motec. i don't think i need that to hold the power i have thats why i am not getting it. will be weast of money then.

will see. i will get flywheels soon i hope. and then try the rest. RE muffler titan. will be the very very last one anyway. not so sure yet. but because i want my car sound lot more racing thats why i am thinking about it. but thats till later.

FI = force induction(supercharger/turbo)

i think that u waste too much money already :p

with all those extra weight u gained from sound system, big wing and all the other pieces, it would be impossible to beat s2000. (a stock car will have better chance winning)
all you added is more show.


but for performanace, sway bars and coil overs is the way to go if u haven't already got.
intake and exhaust parts are all sound, cost too much for what they are worth...
and i'd agree with getting the flywheel and clutch.

then save up those cash for FI.

but all this is just my thoughts, it's your car, go nuts with it

Remember Elite is not building a track car but an autosalon car... so I suggest Motec. There is a WOW factor in that...

Sway bar is nothing since you cannot see it. So the cat can stay and a titan exhaust is great, but as I said if it cracks it sounds funny and hard to fix.

Agree with the flywheel too since you will never step in the track :p

Me = track car = going to have your Tein flex & EDFC, then Defi meters (for oil temp, oil pressure and water temp), then brake and rotors, then Exedy clutch and FEED flywheel, RE header and retune with Motec or Microtech. Then I will see what I need before Hymee's or other people's FI.
