mazdaspeed vs sir

i was cruising around one night in my mazdaspeed, 2003.5 gunmetal...with some upgrades..stage2 turbo turbosmart blowoff valve 3 inch exaust straight pipe (front to back) boost controller 9 pounds fuel injectors fuel rail cold air intake. from the outside the car looks completly stock.so i pull up to a red light and a white civic sir pulls up at me and starts reving his engine. he had exause airintake wing bodykit (he thinks hes in fast and the furious or somthing) i rev back.once the light turns green i killed him on take off spinning tires when i shifted to second.he couldnt even keep up. my speed has 270hp in such a light car,im sure hell remember the race.

Good jorb. Have your car to the track at all?

You've got about the same hp as the 2005 right?

Was this outside of the US, because we didn't get the SiR?

I think it just had the sir badge.....and I dont think they make 05 turbo familias but good kill none the less......

edit: if its 03 it has to be a protege

btw your car doesnt make 270hp wheel or crank, with just those mods

think its the protege.....

this is what i meant, http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/sedans/0502_mazda_mazdaspeed_6/

All wheel drive 274 hp 280 ft lbs

Nice kill.

How much does the mazda speed weigh?

which mazdaspeed are we refering to...

I dunno, what the hell does this guy have anyway?

3630 for the 6 according to autoweek.com

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Mazdaspeed Protege. Nice little car, they have something like 170hp stock, 100hp gain would certainly be optimistic with those mods unless I'm reading something wrong. I had a run-in with an orange Mazdaspeed with my former modded 5.0L Mustang. I must say, they are peppy little cars. Can't wait to see the new turbo 6.

2003 is definitley a Mazdaspeed Protoge. First year of the Mazda Orange :)
And he is from Canada, as am I. And yes the Canucks got the Si-R from 2002-2004 which is the equivilant to the States Si. Ugly little thing.

And the speed5 (protoge) weighs about 2800lbs. It's pretty friggin lightweight. Does a 1/4 in 15.4 STOCK, so even without those upgrades he would have taken the Si-R

its a 2003.5 mazdaspeed gunmetal, it was the new one they made with a diffrent front skirt. and yes my car does push 270hp. just the exaust i have on it give me 40 hp and 50 pounds less. all of the intercooler and turbo piping is all 3inch stainless steal.and it has a new computer that changes around the fuel and air mixture.that gave it almost 50hp.

This thread cracks me up :evillol:

I cut my toenails and my car became faster.

I'm assuming you had your car on a dyno to verify that it does indeed push 270hp before bragging about it. Would that be at the crank, or at the wheels? Please post a scanned image of your dyno test for us all to enjoy.

I like those Mazdaspeeds, my next door neighbor has one but in orange.
he has a greddy BOV and a Injen CAI. we've ran a couple of times and run preatty neck and neck.

Blu Civic, I liked the Britney Spears sig better

Mazdaspeed Protege's ain't no joke when modded. With just CAI, Turboback, boost controller, and an SFC I believe Import Tuner saw 240whp. I'd believe he was making 270hp at the flywheel. Definitely not at the wheel though. Heck 270hp ain't that hard to come by.

get it dynoed bro, maybe it has 270 im not sayin i dont believe or i do... but im just gonna say dont go by what the manufacturers of your mods say, you will not gain as much hp as they say.

The mazdaspeeds are nice...i didnt really know their potential cause i dont know nebody whose done it

I do think 270hp @ wheels is a lil optimistic, but nice kill, hope to see some under the hood pics and a few more races

Does a stock exhaust even WEIGH 50 lbs?

I call bs until I see proof.

something about the guy doesent add up

Actually, looking at many of the speed5 owners, they have been able to hit mid 14's with justa MBC @ 9psi. And the speed5 responds well to mods because many have been able to hit 13's on stock internals with bolt-on upgrades.
That engine is so weird in that car, you can either have a really good one or a really shitty one for no apparent reason.

those mazda speed 5s were cool cars too bad they discontinued them..........
