Here's a list of everything I have and my comments:
Monza pacesetter center pipe and over axle pipe
- peice of shit do not buy Monza system
Magna flow straight through muffler
- awesome sound, I love it
Magna Flow tips
- bootiful
Momo 17” rims with colour matched inserts
-tight and light, comments all the time
Kuhmo Supra Escta 215 40Z 17 tires
-never failed me...but do not drive on snow
Neuspeed P chip
- I've heard there are better, but I like it, be ready to put in high octane, which you should be using anyways
Neuspeed short ram intake
-nothing special, but works
K&N filter
-better than a stupid air box
Neuspeed front upper strut bar
-really nice, well worth it, tighter cornering
Neuspeed spark plug wires
-worht the money, looked into Nology, but screw that
4 door Golf rear stock upper strut bar
- compliments the front one, less body sway
Turn 2 race engine mounts
- sweetness, nice and tight, a little vibration but I like it
Goodridge SS brake lines
- super tight braking
Powerslot rotors
- okay, but seem to warp pretty easy (on my second set)
Red stuff brake pads
- take a while to work well, but grab those rotors like crazy when warm
Momo Evolution steering wheel
- love it, you can see the white knuckle grip marks after a couple years
Momo handbrake
-matches the steering wheel
Momo shift knob
- matches the handbrake
Momo shift boot
- might as well go all out
Momo side step aluminum
- I like Momo stuff, costs a lot,but is good quality
Bilestein struts
- lifetime warranty...can't go wrong
H&R sport springs
- nice nice for cornering, braking and accelerating
Custom gas and clutch pedals
- made them myself, all it took was a grinder and some SS
Sony flip down CD Mp3 deck
- Sony Xplode stuff sucks the big one
OBX crank, power steering + alternator SS CNC pulleys
- faster response, big weight difference between these and stock pulleys
Semi-polished intake manifold
- why not, my car was being painted, so I sanded it a little
Mazda 2006 Dark Steel paint
- grey in the day, black at night
Shaved hatch
- so smooooth
License holder molded into bumper
- looks like MkIV bumper, but on a Mk3
Fender flares
- fake widebody, adds to look of car, but since lowered, hitting big bumps can cause them to crack away from body a little
BC auto designs side skirts
- really nice, didn't need any furth prep since they were so smooth
Aftermarket radio antenna
- looks good, some douche ripped stock one off
4-2-1 chrome headers
- don't cheap out on them like I did, mine sag a little
De-catted
- meh, going to put a high flow cat on when I move and have to do air testing
B&M short shift kit
- install was fairly easy although did require some very minor modification. I wanted the Neuspeed one for awhile, then found the B&M one for about a third of the price of Neuspeed. Plus install is much easier. Works great, I'm happy with it.
Front lower bumper lip
- my latest, haven't even got it yet, but should suck it to the road a little more and make it look lower.
I hope that helps.
Future plan is to do engine overall with as much money as I can get together and add supercharger. But that's a few years away.
