Tuning and improving.....Whats next and where to get it???
Discussion
After 18 months of NC ownership i have now decided to tune, modify and improve rather then replace the car. I did think long and hard about replacing it but kept arriving back at the BMW Z4. As good as the Z4 might be i prefer the Mazda so im sticking with it.
Anyway the car started life as a standard 2.0se. Over the past few months i have gradually been improving it. First i added the fog lights from the sport cars, next up was the adjustable intermittent wiper stalk from the RX8. Recently i have added the 17" multispoke sport wheels along the the clear side repeaters.
Along with the O.E based visual changes i also wanted to increase the performance a little. So far i have added a cat back Scorpion S/S exhaust with secondary cat delete and a K&N Apollo closed air induction kit.
Braking is taken care of the a full set of new O.E discs and EBC Redstuff pads, this set up appears to work very well.
Handling wise the car is currently running the standard Bilstein spring/damper combination. However i have just bought a set of Eibach lowering springs and hope to get them fitted very soon.
So although i am happy with how the car is slowly being improved i now want to move on to the next stage performance wise. What would be your recommendations and who would you recommend to carry out the work? Please bear in mind that i live down in Devon, Southwest England so would be looking for companies as close to me as possible.

Mine is solely a road car,not looking for anything hardcore. The Eibachs will do the job perfectly for me, the main intention is to reduce the arch gap. The main purpose of this thread was to gauge opinion of what should be next on the tuning front and the recommended places to get any work done.
