Not likely to improve MPG, in fact it will drop initially because you'll have your foot in it more often! < Message edited by RTexasF -- 4/10/2007 10:40:00 AM > _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to sssexy70) Post #: 4

It ticks down faster...probably because I pushing the throttle and going faster. So...yeahhh....after I get my exhaust, me and my friends gonna race. He has a Mazda3 hatchback...AT (manu-matic though), CAI and that's all I think. Although his car is a lot lighter and more peppy...you think I have a shot? I declined the offer to race my other friend in a RSX Type S (stock though) 6 speed manual. _____________________________ 2003 Accord LX Sedan I4| 5AT 107000 Injen SRI w/ AEM Dryflow| DCSports Ceramic Headers| DENSO IK20 Sparks| CF Front Strut Bar| Pioneer TSG950M 6x9s| Alpine SPS17C2 6.5"| C-Tek Slotted/Drilled Rotors | Progress 24mm Rear Sway Bar (in reply to poser_pilot6) Post #: 8

I don't quite remember what the hatch came with... plus, the hatch is quite aerodynamic (in reply to 03Sleeper) Post #: 11

Your car weighs about 3300. Thats a 500lbs difference and both cars have the same hp, that is if the mazda3 is a 2.3L instead of the 2.0L. The 2.0L only has 148 hp. In any case, the mazda3 has any advantage due to it weighing less and having around the same hp as you. If you had the v6 then of course, but an i4, slim chance. _____________________________ 02 AV6 Sedan Apexi WS2 exhaust DC Ceramic Headers AEM sri GroundControl sleeves Koni yellows Progress Sway Bar (24mm 0_0) JVC Headunit Power Acoustik headscreen 18'' Drag Dr-8 (in reply to 03Sleeper) Post #: 12
