So, I got a 2012 Mazda 2, I see all these cool things you can do to them but idk what to do or if it’s worth doing, she runs good and everything but has 135,000 miles, I want to do something to add more power but don’t know if it’s worth putting money into with that amount of miles, also don’t know what to do, the only thing I could think of would be turbo charging it but I thought maybe one of y’all might know a specific turbo or maybe something else I can do to get more power from the engine
the minute you start modifying your 2, an econobox remind you, you are going to start causing more harm than good to the car, especially if you are not familiar with how cars respond to mods. the more you modify the running components of any car, you run the exponential increase in risk to making your car more unreliable. if you want more power, get a more powerful car. tik tok instagram influencers are not going to pay for any damages to your car with clever transitions and cuts. there is a lot more involved in modifying cars that pictures and 1min shorts will not cover.
if you want to still modify your ride, stick with the easy basics, lower it a bit (not slammed to the ground), wheels and better tires, and a not obnoxious exhaust.
