cruise is not in the way so you can keep it.
I THINK that the battery could remained in front but I'd have to check that. But it always a good idea to relocated it in the trunk for space. You are going to need some for other parts one day.
I'm trying to found out if you il will a/c, I think so but I have to found out with another car since mine doesn't have it.

I will try a stock bumper on my car today and see how it goes. I'll give you news tonight

yes it'll fit stock v6

just back from trying to fit the stock bumper.
doesn't fit. the piping is too low for it and it arrives at the same height that the stock bumper finishes.
It could fit but the stock bumper would have to be butchered a bit

Guess it would be the same problem with the Mazdaspeed/Erebuni/Corksport bumper then?

In that case, it sucks, as I probably cant use these

nope-mx3

just a note: All that heat next to the battery will kill the battery pretty quickly so I'd say a relocation is a must. Not an option unless you just like replacing your battery and having it leave you stranded.
Other than that I'd like to say thanks for all your hard work Blue.

nope, no that's the thing. I think it would fit mazdaspeed bumper. It is just that the stock bumper at the bottom curves on the inside and that's where I have a problem. Mazdaspeed just took off his mazdaspeed front and he lives 1 min. from my house. I'll see if I can borrow his for an hour

if i was closer id lend you mine its not even on my car yet :p keep the info coming babyblue. its sweet what you've done so far!

if i got a kit for the pgt engine i couldnt make it fit in my k8?

exhaust piping will fit but with a couple of modification..piping intercooler is not even close to fit..you have to custom make it or wait till MMI gets his kit out

if i wanted to get a lil side intercooler or something it would fit fine though? if so wheres the best place to get one?

sry but also how hard are the modifications to exhaust piping? would i need a shop?

probably

i would probobly need a shop or probobly fit ok?

Mazdaspeed front sits down 1-2" lower than stock Bumper and it is open, so you shouldn't have a problem.

My Erebuni Mazdaspeed replica has actually more ground clearance than the stock bumper (wich kinda sucks), but if the piping fits on it, I would be a very happy puppy

nope-mx3

me and Abe have figured it out.
I'll mod the piping so stock bumper will fit
