Welcome and congrats on your purchase! Most if not all of yur questions are answered in detail. There is a thread with instructions on adjusting the clutch, if you don't get used to it. There are interfaces available for the ipod or mp3 players, turboback exhaust available by cp-e. Take some time and read read read and you will find answers to most of your questions.

Read my post on (Powerloss?)

A) the clutch sucks and needs adjustment
B) Turbo is done at 5500rpm
C) Wait till you get the powerloss where your turbo just wont spool until you turn the car on and off

I like the car, but I am so angry with this crap that i just listed above because even for 25k this should not happen.

This is not made up, so dont think I am knocking the car...just telling you the truth.

Welcome aboard. Don't judge the clutch too fast. It is basically set as a racing clutch and requires knee action, not ankle action. Many of us with years of heel and toe shifting experience love the clutch just as it comes from the factory. However, it is adjustable, so just look for the thread if you feel the need. I drive my GT in heavy traffic, on open roads, in city streets, and in the twisties, but have never felt the need to change the clutch. It works especially well with a punchy knee action when you are making quick shifts. Also, because it engages with very little pedal travel as you release, knee action is more precise than ankle action. You will stall less often using your knee. Try it, you might like it.

Welcome.

As for what to add.

Turbonator....

Jokes aside, welcome, don't worry about the clutch, there's warrenties, and most of the clutch problems are either very few lemons, or some idiot launching it and not admitting it.

 

[collin geiger]

Welcome and enjoy! The peeps here are very helpful. :welcome9:

 

[ninecoronas]

One more thing. You want to be careful when adding your exhaust to not remove those two giant O's in the back. I know they look ridiculous, but Mazda put them there to keep the heat from melting the back bumper. If you search the forum you'll see some nasty incidents about that. Just a little notice.

Enjoy your car. And welcome once more :drive:
