before anyone asks, no it is not a turbo, i just picked up the hodd recently for an upcoming turbo swap (whenever i can afford it), but in the meantime, the hood is much lighter than the steel one that ones on there.

looks hot .. the only thing i can say is get some black carpet from a s5 .. you ll be golden then .. other than that your car looks hot.. i love the black rims .. and the hood

 

k&n fipk filtercharger eh?

That doesn't even look like a K&N filter..

 

Nice car! Interesting choice of color for the pedals.



Good Luck!

 

??? where are your FTP lenses?

 

Looks good man...I like the hood with the wheels...they look good..

Good Luck with that swap....

 

Nice s4- and I agree w/ the black carpet. I put black in my s4 vert, and it looks WAY better. Also carpeted the bottom of the doors to make the transition look more natural. That gray shows dirt like mad!

 

they probably broke off like 90% of the FC out there.

 

yeah it is, its just not the regular cone one. its like two cones fused together and huge.

 

the k&n fipk unit is rectangular/oval shaped. the problem is, when mounted properly, sideways, it rubs the upper rad hose. so i turned it straight up and down, and voila!!! no more rubbing issues.
look it up on their website. Fuel Injection Performance Kit
the pedals are actually red, but the angle and flash made them look pinkish. and yeah, that grey carpet does make dirt show up better. that dark spot is grease from my shoes that i wear at work. not cool.

the ftp's are removed, i was trying to see if it would increase airflow, and they were clouded over anyways.

the paint isn't that great on the hood, but i am trying the whole cleaner wax/ rubbing compound thing to try and revive it.

thanks for the input guys!!!
keep it coming!

 

bumpo!

 

Only real negative comment is the uh... pedals.

Other than that it looks good!

 

I like the color as well, its balanced... not too much red or black, and they look good together. Rip those pink pedals right outta your car as soon as you can though XD

 

they aren't pink!!! they are red, they just look pink in the flash angle.

they cover up the poor rubber covers and i like em.

 

bump

 

riiiight...

 

riiiight...

 

mazdaspeed doesn't make a harness.

 

it's ok if you like pink. C'mon it's cool to be a metrosexual now a days.

 

I like the car, stands out more than it should, but nice.

 

Sure it is, (^pic of mine) that's what the filter that comes with the FIPK kit looks like. When you buy them sepratly ex. universal they are round I believe

 

hee hee, i've got the same strut bar...

 

looks good i really like the hood and rims nice match where did you get that piece to fit in the extra space under the cd head unit

 

I like that hood too...looks awesome.

 

i thought you might like it, orlando!

the piece under the head unit came with a general mazda install kit sold at best buy. it has all the peices needed to install a single din head unit into any mazda.

well, mazdaspeed may not make the harness (it's actually a simpson harness) but it has mazdaspeed tags on them. i'll post pics of them when i can. mazdaspeed allowed simpson to make a short run of them, and i got my set of of ebay.

that's all you have to say? i ask for comments on my car, and you find the one small kindof error in my mod list and question that? how about "nice car" or "i think it sucks?" that would be on-topic, at least.

for all you ebay haters out there, everything (almost) on my car was purchased off of ebay...wheels, tires, exhuast, harness, etc.
