pics of my red fc vert

hey guys,
i bought this car awhile ago. It has 138k on the odomter, but it had a mazda dealership put a new 13b in it just a few years ago (got the receipt for it) It also has a new exhaust with the new motor, a dealer installed, almost stock exhaust. It is a 5 speed, it has an lsd, and other than that its almost entirely normal stock. When i bought it, the stock seats were in very very poor shape, and i picked up these black 1st gen seats (out of a 79 believe it or not) for 50 bucks as a temporary fix, but it turns out i love them, so they can stay. It has also been repainted, and thus the peeling hood.
Future plans were going to be a v8, but i already have a swapped, built v8 1986 ranger, so im gonna turbo this stock 13b with a conservative, intercooled 6-7lbs of boost to be friendly on the stock motor. I am going to attempt/do something different for an rx7, a remote turbo, probably mounted where the cataytic converter came out. I have just gotten a t25 turbo off an sr20det, an hks blow off valve, and i will be getting t2 injectors, a walbro 255 pump, adjustable boost referenced fpr, and an intercooler, we'll see how it goes.

Anyway, here are the pics.






tell me what you guys think. Thanks, mark

really? i usually hate spoilers, especially kind of big, kind of ill-fitting ones like this, but for some reason i like it on this car. My buddy had an mr2 and it had a similar spoiler on it and it worked on it too. Thanks, any suggestions other than repaint the hood?
