Decided to try something since I'm not huge of the SE bootlid spoiler - added a little extension to it with a lip spoiler :D I like it now... looks much better in the flesh

Haltech Sprint 500 wired up over the weekend with base tune until further mods arrive to be added for proper tune...

Picking the car up this afternoon :-)

Even with the limiter set at 4200RPM and just a base tune, it already feels more lively :-)

Very interesting spoiler mod - haven't seen double stacked lip spoilers before :P I've never been a huge fan of the SE spoiler either... its not bad, but it squares up a beautifully curvy booty! :P

Limiter at 4200rpm!?!?!? Kill me now! Where's the fun in that :P

Too right Joshuam! Thankfully the car is now tuned and will pull all the way to 7000rpm :D

Am yet to get the dyno chart back but will post when I do, it's approximately 150atw :NETPOINTZ: feels bloody quick... so smooth and responsive :lol: absolutely loving it.

Getting a new clutch installed at the moment and should have her back tomorrow.

Absolutely loving the SE now since the mods and tune, it's now an absolute blast and at least on par with the NC (supercharged) I had.

A big thumbs up to NT Performance over in Footscray - Simon is a top bloke and really knows his stuff, highly recommend his work. Can't fault his tune with the Haltech PS500.

Engine Mods:
Haltech PS500 (standalone for engine, stock ecu handles everything else - lighting etc)
Custom NT fabricated catback exhaust with high flow cat
Custom NT fabricated Throttle Pipe w/ Turbosmart BOV
550cc injectors
Profec B II boost controller (running 10psi high / 7psi low settings)
CoolingPro intercooler
Custom intake

Suspension/wheels:
HSD Coilovers
15x7 w/ Nitto 195/50

Interior:
Mazdaspeed drivers seat (people say you sit higher??? definitely lower!)
BD roll bar
Stereo etc

Also went with Shannons insurance which were great to deal with.

Overall, very happy with the way the car looks, sounds, and goes :D

Do you have a current engine bay picture?

Curious to see what you have done here...... :wink:
