If you want to add some style to your car on the cheap, sometimes you have to think like a scrapbooker. Thanks for watching. Enjoy! #Mazda2 #HiroshimaSpirit
Glad to see forward progress, albeit subtle! I've just recently sold my 2 to my brother in law, he moved out of London and needed a car and I was wanting a change. Now got a new 3 with the Skyactiv X engine, it's a seriously clever piece of kit and I'd be interested to hear your opinion on the engineering if you ever get the opportunity
the orange strip looks pretty nice i must say. And the parkinglot noob that dont understand that you park your car at the back for a reason. i got a fair few dents in de doors because of these peeps. Thanks for the vid btw =D
I would put the decal on the hood up on the sun strip. I just think it would look cleaner and pop more up there. Just my opinion of course. Do what makes you happy!
I bought a ready made sunstrip on evilbay no cutting, it was cheap but I'm guessing out in the USA the postage is high from the UK. I'm finding that out with Stanley lunchboxes. The postage knocks it up to nearly £100
Love to know the name of the front splitter you have on? Again love the video and even more so the orange. I am having my stock wheels powder coated orange with some wrapping.
Random question: the connector under the backseat that you can see in the trunk when you take out the trunk carpet, what is it for? Oh and I can’t do the window sticker.. Have rain and light sensors.
Old Thread, but I've seen most of your stuff and like. I find myself at the precipice of choosing some engine upgrades such as: doing a clutch/water pump/timing set/aluminum thermostat housing/Mushimito Radiator(or something all aluminum from another car 2-3 row)/man trans oil cooler/ alternator upgrade. My biggest questions are clutch options, do I want to just keep it simple? would a lightened flywheel and center sprung ceramic metallic stage 2 clutch be undriveable or noticeably peppier? Maybe the stage 1 is a better choice? I am not looking to throw money into the car for no reason but it will get a clutch when I do some other work. I find plastic radiator caps and therm. housings a constant worry, though I have not heard anyone complain about the housings. The $67 single row toy Radiator that comes in these must be easily replaced with a Honda or other similar Rad, have you any info? Sorry so much info, lastly what is your take on any HHO mods, Throttle Plate mods or replacements? Thanks Dan
@@HiroshimaSpirit yeah I’m gonna go wild cause it’s my first car and I love jdm cars, aswell I can see another mod that you can do, the little oval indicator lights on the side under the wing mirrors can be switched for a blacked out LED version which is found on AliExpress for 10€ by searching “Mazda 2 Indicator”. Just the little things like that add to the car and make it look sick
I cannot get a mazda 2 at a reasonable price, most of the dealers are pricing these cars too close to other cars, about 2k shy of used FR-S, Kia Rio, 8th gen SI, NC miata and the list goes on. These pandemic car prices are sucky. Dealers seem desperate as of now, but not willing
@@HiroshimaSpirit yep, I saw one 2 base model for 9k before tag,tax and titles. A used 2 with 160k for 6k. I can't even imagine how long they would sit on those cars or move to them to another lot
Wow, that duck tape accent looks really good!
Thanks!
duck tape? 🦆?
Google it. It’s a brand of duct tape.
@@HiroshimaSpirit did you use that?
Maybe, I don’t remember. It doesn’t matter what brand you use.
I’m soon out of the Mazda 2 club. Ordered the new MX-30.
I think the MX-30 is pretty cool for what it is, so I’m not mad.
Good to you keep busy God bless.
Looks great Josh! I recently slapped on a matt black strip on my red 2.

I’d like to have a go in it before forming an opinion, but who knows when we’ll get Skyactiv-X here.
You can easily take out the sticker on your windshield by using brake fluid. Took out the whole tint of my m2 and its really great!
This is great. I’m planning on buying one this year and basically everything you have I’ve thought of too
Mine is for sale. Just cut out the middle man.
I really like how you get creative modifying your car, nice video :)
Thanks! ✌🏻
Ooo that sunstrip would look nice on a red 2
Do it!
the orange strip looks pretty nice i must say. And the parkinglot noob that dont understand that you park your car at the back for a reason. i got a fair few dents in de doors because of these peeps. Thanks for the vid btw =D
Either the regular Mazda logo or the Motorsport logo would look fantastic! I know if I had a Mustang I’d slap the Ford Performance logo someplace.
I would put the decal on the hood up on the sun strip. I just think it would look cleaner and pop more up there. Just my opinion of course. Do what makes you happy!
looks great you can upgrade you headlamps with cob lights inside they will look nice
I haven’t owned this car for two years.

I remember you trying to wrap the roof.
Love to know the name of the front splitter you have on? Again love the video and even more so the orange. I am having my stock wheels powder coated orange with some wrapping.
Could you tell me how to adjust the headlights for left and right, I already found the screw for up and down. Please rec a video
Hi Mr. HIROSHIMASPIRIT,may I ask, there is no certain store for that front lip? I can't find in ebay anymore. 😢
Bayson R Motorsports manufactures it.
That looks really good! Can you not just cut the ends of the ducktape or will that loosen up that part?
I wrap the ends around to ensure it doesn’t peel off.
@@HiroshimaSpirit makes sense, you don't want your opponents get any ducktape on their windshields... .. Right? 🙄🤔😁
My opponents are always ahead, because slow.
Colour the lose ends in with black sharpie pen or paint, wouldn’t be noticeable then
I might try this later on my windshield
Doeeeet!
Random question: the connector under the backseat that you can see in the trunk when you take out the trunk carpet, what is it for? Oh and I can’t do the window sticker.. Have rain and light sensors.
Sounds like you’re describing the fuel system wiring harness. The tank is under the back seat.
@@HiroshimaSpirit Thanks for the reply! Was secretly hoping it to be some kind of speaker connector... haha

The car makes 100hp. Stock clutch.
You’re overthinking everything.
Won't the vinyl get wet and come off in rain
Looks great! 👌 oh wait... 🤣
Hello on your mazda what springs are fited can you tellme
Fortune 500 Series Coilovers
what do u mean with the roof?
Add one of your channel logos. Also.. good job on the Kronk Meme @3:14 LOL
I’ve got plenty of my own logos self-promoting on the car as it is. Haha
Glad somebody caught my Kronk meme too!
Just bought a Mazda 2 TS2 today it’s light blue, I wanna change the alloys should I go with black and what other cheap astethic mods should I get
Go with whatever feels right! As far as cheap mods, I’ve got a bunch of other videos that should provide some inspiration. Go wild!
@@HiroshimaSpirit yeah I’m gonna go wild cause it’s my first car and I love jdm cars, aswell I can see another mod that you can do, the little oval indicator lights on the side under the wing mirrors can be switched for a blacked out LED version which is found on AliExpress for 10€ by searching “Mazda 2 Indicator”.

i’m interested in plasti dipping just the hood of my white mazda 2? think it would look good?
The entire hood, no. The middle section between the body lines, yes.
What does that exhaust sound like? Have not seen the video yet that one.
There are several videos that you can hear the exhaust in.
Another nice video bro... are those rally headlights functional?
They are. Thanks!
Hi. How does it work with rain and an automatic light sensor?
I don’t have either, so probably not well.
Hello can I replace my self a water pump on my 2012 Mazda 2
If you have to ask, maybe don’t attempt it. It’s possible to do yourself if you have some mechanical skill.
How can I make my Mazda 2 touring 2013 faster man
Sell it and buy something fast.
@@HiroshimaSpirit thanks man I’ll pull out money from my asshole and buy something faster 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
How many miles are on your car
Nearly 58k.
I wanna share a pic of my demio with you . I’m from Jamaica 🇯🇲 - working progress
I’m on Instagram @hiroshimaspirit.
I sent them just now

Yeah, I’m seeing well-used 2s for $10k from dealers and it’s ridiculous. The best 2 in the world is worth maybe $6k. lol
