The trailing arms and toe links won't really be noticeable improvement over stock and will wear out quickly without dust seals for the bushings.

That intercooler kit is for an MR-2, not an FD!

Not really looking for a noticeable improvement over stock.. plus the STOCK already got 130k on it.. so mind as well dont u think.. and for the dust problem i'm sure there's somekind of luquid seal that will help protect..

yeah i know its for the mR2, but thats the only one i could find to replace with the stock one WithOUT relocating the bat or stock intake.. but i might end up going with another IC since will only cost another 100 like this one here.

about the same price... actually

so i made up my mind this is the IC im going with.. thought about goin with a front mount but maybe later i dunno.! Still think a FMIC will cool more than this right wich sits inside the Engine bay

I used to be interested in seeing how cheaply I could "upgrade" my car, but that mindset died a LONG time ago. FD's are fantastic cars, so it makes sense to save up some extra money for properly good products from companies that actually do R&D on the fit and functionality of their products. Don't settle for anything less than exactly what you want and exactly what your car needs, otherwise you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

Based on these posts, you have a brain the size of a pea.

Rynberg already gave you good advice, you just don't want to listen. My advice? Don't be cheap and buy knockoff **** from ebay. You're better off getting new trailing arms and new toe link bushings from Mazda. Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda (888 533 3400) offers club discounts and often ships for free. I run the Rotary Extreme pieces, but they come with dust seals so that they won't degrade as quickly, plus they aren't offered anymore.

Re: the ic, what mods do you have right now? In my opinion, you're better off picking up a used SMIC here on the forum than some p.o.s. ebay special.

Merry Christmas

I never said I wasn't going to listen. lol i said i made my mind on the IC.. since every 1 here is using it i figured it cant be bad.. better than stock for sure .. So yeah about the control arm yeah okay I got the point on that one.. but still no body answered my Q.. whats the diff... pretty much same price... ... looks good but its not ... what about fighters website??? what u think about that one...
Thanks
and Merry Christmas 2 u 2 ..
