Very nice - I went with 15's but mostly out of respect for Mazda engineers!

wiper linkage bushing

Windshield wipers froze. The bushings were rusted and worn. After an extensive search, I could only find windhshield wiper lingage bushings for jeeps and chryslers.

Finally decided to use a 7/8 x 5/8 ths bronze bearing from Lowe's. 7/8's O. D. PVC pipe might also be a fix. The bronze bearing is flang topped which is great for keeping the linkage from the motor on. I just need some super glue, or J B WELD to keep it inplace.

Better than paying Mazdatrix +$200. And that they don't carry the part anymore.

Damn, nice car! That's quite a set up you got going under the hood. What kind of numbers are you putting down?

Mine has 18 x 7.5 all around with Eibach coilovers and blue tokico shocks. The thing i love about it, it doesn't rub at all, not even on hard driving

Thanks for the props, and nice pics by the way. I haven't dynoed it yet, I'm still tuning it, but its getting real close. I was chasing an alternator problem for a while, hopefully I have it fixed now. But trust me, I'm going for numbers real soon. I blew out the intake hose yesterday, so a hard pipe is on the drawing board right now.

Also, there are more updates coming. Jet coated exhaust and intercooler pipes. Looks real clean and extremely functional. And some other small changes.
