Well first off its 03 mazda 6i (silver)

Im trying to get a skylark body on it and some engine work.

Thank you!

Welcome..

WTF is a Skylark body?

If your car isn't already lowered, that should be your first mod. Engine mods on the 6i and 6s don't make that much of a difference as far as peak HP number go, unless you have the means to do a turbo upgrade. If not, the basics should do you fine, intake will make your shifts smoother and the car will drive better, and you'll pick up a few ponies. A header won't to much except make the car sound like shit. A nice catback won't give you any power gains either but will completely change the look and presence of the vehicle.

The RPM Store is a great site to order from, you can find most of your needs there. Good luck with the 6! Post up some pics man!

well depends. My friend has a garage and a turbo is in the back of my head. how much would they beeeee?? and i got a intake and already. ill put pics soon. but the body i ordered is here

No a bad looking kit, make sure you have it fitted properly though otherwise it will look like shit. Have fun repairing that fiberglass every year or so, sooner if you're lowered.

There are a few turbo options available for the 6i, but I've heard they companies are pretty shady when it comes to actually shipping out the turbo kits (a friend of mine waited almost a year and got nothing).

I'm not really a 6i guy, but off the top of my head I think Hiboost makes a kit and I know F2 did make a kit (but IDK if they're still in business). IDK much about it though I'll wait for someone else to chime in about that.

alright thank you for the info! ill wait on other replies, but yea i ordered the body and i got about 3 more grand to use on my car. :] i guess i just really fell in love with mazda now. haha but ill put pics after the body is installed. I want to work on the turbo next then finish up around my body with tail lights rims and stuff

why didnt you just get a speed 6 then???? they're only like 2k more than the "i", and your going to pay that much on the turbo kit!!!! if forced inducution is truly a consideration i'd take the car back and just get a speed 6!
btw i also got my mazda on Saturday . its an 03 6i mt -my first car <3.

hahaha well the reason i got it was because my friend sold it to me CHEAPPPPP. 30k miles with warrenty and i got it for 5k. So i mean it was a steal. its a 6i MT :] i save wayy more money puttin turbo in anyways haha

Whoa that was a major deal! My mom took me out to learn driving stick today, and let me tell ya- its a hell of a lot harder that forza 3.
BUT, I woldnt be so sure about saving money. The kit is going to be around 2k plus at least 500 for installation. Then you have to ad tuning and software and internals (oh my) and bla bla bla. That will put you close to 10k on a vehicle that might blow up in your face. You should got with the speed and your life would be a lot easier!
