the only thing im adding to this one is coilovers, dtss eliminators, mazdaspeed lip, some shiny white paint and seat time. i think i may do an rtek and a hybrid, my last car had a haltech e6k but i never learned how to tune so i had to pay and that sux after awhile. i bought this car for 600 bux, the interior is awesome, stock cd player still works, even the power antenna is good. it only has 94000 on the clock but the p.o. blew that motor to hell in a handbasket, front rotor was decimated, two completely gone seals and the third groove had a little piece left. should be good fun.

Very nice and you are off to a good start, clean body ,s5'd up, t2 skirts and some sick wheels.


If you are short in cash and since you want to paint it white, ECONO or MAACO will do a decent job for less than $250. White is actually one of those colors that are very easy to spray hell you can do it for less if you do it your self too.

The wheels i would get the lips polished and paint the centers black- that will look sweet

overall i like it ,

car will stay white, might get a cheap paint job for the time being, not sure if i am going to stay wingless, definitely getting a lip, not sure which one, m.s. or odula/feed style, car will get set down pretty low. i just love the interior, oh yeah, and the smell of two stroke oil.
