The Type II front nose, with its distinctive headlight treatment, costs ¥160,000. Side skirts are ¥86,000 and reduce airflow swirling beneath the body.
FC3S!
A combination of W-rate direct springs is used. There are also many performance upgrades, including a twin-plate clutch, lightweight flywheel, stabilizer, and strut tower bar. Brake lines and pads are available to increase stopping power.
The FC is not to be outdone! A front spoiler (¥52,000), rear spoiler (¥62,000), and intercooler scoop (¥32,000) add a subtle but distinctive presence. But the biggest attraction is the long-awaited height-adjustable suspension…
…developed jointly with Eibach
The FC3S kit has now been released! It includes shocks with an adjustment dial for damping force…

CAROI
Small in size, but it makes a big impression!
Eight-spoke alloy wheels are fitted: ¥26,000 each. Racing stripes running down the center cost ¥15,000, and side stripes cost ¥12,000. Available in white and dark blue!
The stock Carol has a cute look…
Who would have thought it could be transformed this much? A front bumper (¥96,500) and rear bumper (¥53,200) change the look, while the sports-spring set (¥30,000) lowers the ride height. And those stripes really lift the mood!

But above all, what catches the eye is the muffler cutter…
The dual-sided muffler cutter really stands out and costs ¥23,000. It carries the Mazdaspeed logo!
…the muffler tip is what draws attention, of course. Its polished stainless-steel finish is sure to turn heads!
