Welcome. Pics are a must with your new car, so post 'em. Check out the FAQ for the basic info. Racing Beat has some nice exhaust stuff for our 7s, so check em out.

for performance and replacement parts, try www.mazdatrix.com or www.racingbeat.com both websites are excellent sources for parts for our cars and offer the BEST exhaust systems (IMO) for our cars. as far as smogging the beast, good luck. you'll need it. make sure you change all fluids, oil, coolant, trans oil, diff oil, plugs, check the resistance on the wires, inspect the cap and rotor, REPLACE the fuel filter, inspect or replace the vaccume lines, air filter, and bushings under the car. in summary, you will want to completely service the car to ensure that it treats you well and that it lasts. make sure you use the SEARCH feature. chances are someone's asked the question you may have and it may get you faster results. make sure you post pics. welcome to the dark side.
