Just wondering how many miles you all had before you started modding your 8?

 

Better question would be how many days/weeks did you wait before modding? LOL

 

I waited for almost a year. I swore I was NEVER gonna mod my car. I wanted it to be factory original.
Then I got some springs (thank you Kwescott)
and an exhaust (thank you Steph)
some wheels. (thank you Toka)
And short shifter (Kwes again)

And I swear . . . no more modding.

 

There's a lot of mods that have legitimately fixed problems with mazdas OEM design: racing beat screens & ignition upgrade are two things I think should have been factory spec

You can tell your wife/gf/parents that they don't count as modding for budget purposes Install them immediately

 

i swapped out to SS brake lines 3 months in. i'm really tempted to buy some springs for the car.....

 

I had ordered parts before I had purchased the car.

 

I had less than 900miles when I put in the full exhaust

 

Bought the car and the next day started in with a new stereo/amp/kicker.

Take care,

Brian

 

I waited a year and then it was on, I now have done full brake, exhaust, and suspension upgrades. I have a friend that just bought a new truck and has installed k&n intake and full custom exhaust before even making a payment! And he's got more things ordered and on the way!

 

How many miles were on your 8 before you voided your warranty?

hahahaha

 

^ That's the reason I'm going to be modding my RX-7 before the 8. Voiding the warranty scares me :p

 

Bought it at 20k, modded my stereo at 35k, started modding everything else at 58k, I curently have 66k.

 

1st week,,,.......

 

bought mine with 14K, modded at 15K...now I can't stop...once you start its all over...my wife finally just accepts it

 

about a week

 

20,000 04 model. 50,000 for turbo redid rotars due to failure on ppl's experience.

 

had my full coilovers and rims at 2k and greddy turbo kit at 4k....so far i have owned the car for about 7 months

 

It took me about two weeks of listening to the base stereo before I ripped it out and put in new speakers, amps and subs.
