I did my exhaust and flywheel (lightweight steel). That's pretty much all I wanted to do. Racing Beat is Tier 2 to Mazdatrix: Racing beat is the source for the exhausts for both Mazdatrix and, obviously, Racing Beat.

Why are you getting wheel hop, are you doing burnouts? And for the mags your talking about, I think you might mean Panasports. If you have the big baller cash to get them, www.mariahmotorsports.com is the place for the good stuff.

Theres a few things your going to have to do. It sounds like any bushing in your drivetrain can be gone. Check tranny mount, tri-link busings (rods that goto the axle) and even worn or cut springs will do this sometimes. If you have some spare time, find a good suspension/alianment shop and have them inspect it, unless you know what to look for. Also what model is your car?
GSL or GS or what? For the panasports, they're about $200 a rim (i was quoted on the phone) plus shipping. Call them if your serious about getting them.

Does good price = cheap??? stick with RB, they have the quality you want. Think, it may be a great deal, but what about longevity?? Never heard of bonez, but you could buy their stuff or the system from Victoria British, If it doesn't last, you're out the money for it plus a new system.

Just my .02

If you want something very inexpensive that will give a big performance boost (say from 100 hp up to 125 hp) replace the three cats with a presilencer. I bought a bonaz presilencer from a place in Texas for $150, shipped with gaskets, that's a perfect replacement for the stock cats, bolts right up to the stock header. It took about an hour, in the back yard, to put it in.

My advice; if you plan on keeping this car for any length of time, don't mess around with the exhaust unless you are ready to go with Racing Beat. Just about anything else is going to burn up on you due to the extreme heat of the rotary's exhaust. The RB system is very well made, sounds great, gives good horsepower, and is made to last.

Also, if you're looking for cheap hp gains, take a look at the 2nd gen ignition upgrade in the FAQ. Another possibility would be a Sterling carb.

Oh, and welcome to the forum...

depends how many miles on that motor, if 192k is correct its hard to say 50-100,000 miles
check oil pres. compression any smoke on start up, any air bubbels with radiator cap off, does it cosume coolant, does the metering pump work properly, whats the operating temp
