This is like a flash back to the showroom of a mazda dealership in late 1984.....
Amazing to me.
Congratulations.....
Thanks. What's amazing to me are the things the pictures don't show...like how the steering has NO play. In many respects it really is like it just rolled off the showroom floor...or, perhaps, more like it's a year or two old but still has that new-car smell. It just puts a smile on my face to climb in and drive it, even just around town on errands.

I get that even with my '83 GS & '85 GSL and they're no where near as nice as that I think it has to do with the FB in general

and where's the under-hood pics?

Installed my Racing Beat long-primary exhaust last night. Got some more pics, underneath.









Love the sound and redline comes *real* quick now.

What a beautiful automobile. A very nice exhaust and I'd leave it at that. Well done.

Thanks. There are a couple more things I have planned, but nothing major. Just a big front sway bar, SS Brake and clutch lines, Hawk HPS brake pads, light flywheel, street/strip clutch (no marcel)...and that's probably it. Bolt-on stuff only, minor refinements. If I get the upgrade bug, I can either take it out on my other cars or just focus on removing, cleaning, refinishing and reinstalling stock stuff that isn't 100%.
