Hi all, this is my 2000 RX& type RS, Apologies for the large pics
Imported from Japan in 2017, performance-wise it had an HKS silent exhaust, and....thats it. also got it with nice Mazdaspeed seats, Ganador (i think) mirrors and a hideous Bomex bumper and Mazdaspeed sideskirts as you can see.
Got rid of the bumper and side skirts and installed a factory bumper, changed the exhaust to a FEED Sonic exhaust, and added HKS intake filters.
Greddy intercooler on the way, still undecided about ECU setup. Progress has been slow due to Covid as well as a few other projects happening at the same time
As a starter replacement ecu you might consider a Power FC. Be sure to get the right model number for your car's VIN nnumber.
Some consider the Power FC to be dated, but there is a lot of experience with that ecu.
Also there is a strong support group to help you manage the unit from a laptop.
Which may be important if you are far from a tuning shop.
Be careful using a USDM FSM as there are important differences with later JDM version 5 & 6 cars.
Particularly the positioning of the coils.
appreciate the feedback
i was kinda apprehensive on the FC for the same reason, but its' starting to look more and more like the most sensible option at the moment
