nice 7's

 

thanks, I'm always on the look out for more

 

clean sevens man. i approve lol

and i love how you have the same first gen stering wheel i have in my fc lol

oh and a quick question about your exhaust...when you say mazdaspeed tips you talking the whole muffler piece at the end of the y pipe and not the shiny tip at the end of the muffler, right?

 

The whole mufflers are MazdaSpeed.

 

Forgot one...

 

Always nice to see another Sunrise red SA. Nice clean interior too. Not sure the Rhino guys did you any favors under the hood, but I'll bet it makes the undercarriage bullet-proof.

love the SA. looks really nice. i'm more of fan of the stock wheels though. i think that shift **** is neat as all get out.

 

Yea, very nice cars, and yea that shift **** is awesome I want it lol.

 

Won it for 9 bucks on ebay Plus the SA **** feels great in the FC.

There is no rust to be found under the car due to the liner. There was the typical rear arm spots in the wheel wells, but that was fixed by grinding it out and welding new auto metal over it and undercoating.

 

Looks really clean. Whats the deal with the spray on bedliner in the engine bay though?

 

The SA came with rust proofing from the dealer. The FC had a color change. I painted it silver, it was blue. It doesn't bother me, I think it actually looks kinda nice. To each their own.
